One year after their incredible adventures in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Peter, Edmund, Lucy and Susan Pevensie return to Narnia to aid a young prince whose life has been threatened by the evil King Miraz. Now, with the help of a colorful cast of new characters, including Trufflehunter the badger and Nikabrik the dwarf, the Pevensie clan embarks on an incredible quest to ensure that Narnia is returned to its rightful heir.

Young Prince Caspian of Narnia wonders and dreams about the old days of Narnia when animals talked, and there were mythical creatures and four rulers in Cair Paravel. But his uncle and aunt don’t like to hear him thinking of such things, and plan to murder him and take his throne. Caspian’s tutor, Dr. Cornelius manages to save him, and not only teach him about the old ways, but bring him into the real Narnia and introduce him to the real Narnia. But Caspian’s plight is desperate, and he must use the legendary horn to call help from another world: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Then, Lucy and Edmund are sent back to Narnia, along with their cousin Eustace, to assist Caspian on a voyage. Along their journey the children battle dragons and sea serpents, and sail across a golden lake to reach the edge of the world.

This piece presents viewers with a look at the challenges of creating the look for Narnia, and Prince Caspian in particular. As C.S. Lewis's stories often left much to the imagination, it was up to the filmmakers to find just the right shooting locations, build the perfect sets, and fashion the right props to bring this imaginative world to life. Each new segment of the feature is introduced by a reading of the appropriate passage in the novel which sets the stage nicely for appreciating the work that went into creating all of the film's major set pieces.

This piece features a look at the people and techniques that brought the film's creatures to life, and the role of nature in the film.
