The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian
For the Pevensie children, it has been a year since they returned from their amazing adventure in Narnia. But for the beings of Narnia, it has been centuries since the golden age of the reign of King Peter, King Edmund, Queen Susan, and Queen Lucy.
Now, a desperate Prince Caspian needs help, and he has been given Queen Susan's magical horn.

- Review of Prince Caspian by Rolling Stone reporter, Peter Travers.
Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian
27-year-old Ben Barnes plays the title role in Prince Caspian.Prince Caspian was orphaned as a young child, and since he was too young to inherit the throne, his uncle Miraz was made regent to guide the throne of Narnia until Caspian came of age.
Unfortunately, Miraz chose to call himself "king", and began a campaign to kill or imprison any of those who claimed that Miraz was not the true king. He also sought to remove all traces of the legends of a talking lion called "Aslan" and other talking beasts.
Caspian grew up under his uncle's "protection". For years Caspian was safe while his uncle was childless and considered nephew Caspian fit to inherit the throne after his death. Until the day Miraz's queen gave birth to a son.

Prince Caspian is of course the second movie in the Chronicles of Narnia series and although it's a very enjoyable film in its own right, it does help if you watch the first movie - The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe - before watching Caspian.

I loved the books when I was a kid. The movie was great too!
