Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
continues the movie franchise based on C.S. Lewis’ classic fantasy books. The
movie picks up where the first left off… sort of. It’s been a year since the
Pevensie children–Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund
(Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley)–returned to England from Narnia,
and they’ve just about resigned themselves to living their ordinary lives. But
just like that, they’re once again transported to a fantastical land, but one
with a long-abandoned castle. It turns out that they are in Narnia again–and
they themselves lived in that castle, but hundreds of years ago in Narnia
time. They’ve been summoned back to help Prince Caspian (Stardust’s Ben
Barnes, resembling a young, cultured Keanu Reeves), the rightful heir to the
throne who’s become the target of his power-hungry uncle, King Mraz (Sergio
Castellitto). And he’s not the only one threatened: Mraz’s people, the
Telmarines, have pushed all the Narnians–the talking animals, the centaurs
and other beasts, the walking trees–to the brink of extinction. Despite some
alpha-male bickering, Peter and Caspian agree to fight Mraz alongside the
remaining Narnians, including the dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage) and the
swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Eddie Izzard). (Also appearing is
Warwick Davis, who was in Willow and the 1989 BBC Prince Caspian.) But of
course they most of all miss the noble lion, Aslan, who would have never let
this happen to Narnia if he hadn’t disappeared. Prince Caspian is epic,
evoking memories of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films. (Some of the
battle elements may seem too familiar, but they were in Lewis’s book.) And
it’s appropriate for kids (Reepicheep could have come out of a Shrek movie),
though the tone is dark and there is a lot of death, albeit bloodless. After
two successful films, Disney and Walden Media’s franchise has proved
successful enough that many of the characters are scheduled to return in The
Voyage of the Dawn Treader. –David Horiuchi Stills from The Chronicles of
