As a human baby is born in the world of Narnia, another life
is threatened as Prince Caspian’s uncle Miraz, king of the Telmarines now has
an heir and there is no need for Caspian to remain alive.
With his professor informing him to flee into the woods,
Prince Caspian fears for his life and before stumbling across a woodland home
of dwarves, blows a horn in his possession – one he’s been told to only use if
he’s in real danger.
Back in London following their visit to Narnia, the Pevensie
siblings are struggling to get used to being schoolchildren rather than the
kings and queens of a magical land, but just when they least expect it they are
called back to Narnia to help restore a natural heir to the throne.
After discovering more than 1000 years has passed since they
left, Narnia is no longer the land it once was and the children are
disappointed to learn that the kingdom has been destroyed with Narnians thought
to be extinct and humans now taken over.
As Prince Caspian starts to put together an army in order to
defeat his uncle, more Narnians make themselves known, pleased to not be hidden
away anymore, but when they meet up with the children to put up the ultimate
fight, they realise the battle they’re about to enter is more than just helping
Prince Caspian become king, it’s to help save Narnia.
Having enjoyed the first movie, The Lion, the witch & the wardrobe, my expectations for this
movie were quite high and although it didn’t disappoint, I found the storyline
a bit hard to follow in places. Despite this, I enjoyed watching it and was
excited to learn what had happened to Narnia after the children left, as I have
only ever read the most popular book.
Featuring Warrick Davis, Peter Dinklage, Ben Barnes & the voices of David Walliams, Eddie Izzard and Liam Neeson, the next story in
the Chronicles of Narnia provided an enjoyable watch for a cold and windy
afternoon.
