CHRONICLES OF NARNIA - PRINCE CASPIAN


Narnia, the fantasy world is back to entertain kids and adults alike. The sequel to Chronicles of Narnia- The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, brings the kids who stole your heart, back to Narnia, which is vastly different now. The last part depicted how the kids Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy, along with the majestic Aslan defeat the White witch. The sequel brings them all back and provides a roller coaster ride for kids.

The kids are forced to return to Narnia by Susan’s magic horn, after about a year since their last visit. But what they find is completely different from the Narnia that they were familiar with. About 1300 years had passed since they last visited Narnia and things had changed topsy turvy. Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and it is now ruled by the iron hand of the evil King Miraz.

Miraz is the uncle of the exiled Prince Caspian who is the true Heir. Miraz had tried to kill Caspian but he had escaped his evil clutches, and settled in Narnia with the other creatures who live in hiding. Prince Caspian had blown the horn during a battle against a siege of Narnia. The kids who are actually the rulers of Narnia have to help Caspian to reclaim the throne and then find their way back home. Easier said than done.

The movie brings in even better special effects and is a bit darker compared to its prequel. It involves more action and drama. Director Andrew Adamson has once again created a movie with all the essential ingredients for a box office hit.
