What’s the Story?
A year after their very eventful encounter with a closet, the former Kings and Queens of Narnia are summoned back unexpectedly to their part-time monarchy, only to find that nearly a millennium and a half have gone by in their former kingdom. The wicked Telmarines have taken over and booted the broodingly handsome Prince Caspian from his rightful throne. The Pevensie kids team up with the Prince to help him deal with his anger issues and send his scheming Uncle Miraz packing.
3 Good Reasons
- Talented young newcomer Ben Barnes had to ditch a commitment to England’s prestigious Royal National Theatre to take the title role. Apparently, it’s better to rule in Narnia than serve on the stage.
- There’ll be some surprises even for kids who own dog-eared copies of the book. Returning director Andrew Adamson has added some new thrills to the classic story.
- Three words: bloodthirsty… swashbuckling… rodent. The character of Reepicheep, voiced by edgy British comic Eddie Izzard, is quite the man… for a mouse.
