On May 16 the beloved characters of C.S. Lewis’ timeless fantasy will come to life once again in the newest installment of Walt Disney’s The Chronicles of Narnia series – Prince Caspian.
The Pevensie siblings magically are transported back from England to the world of Narnia, where a thrilling, perilous new adventure and an even greater test of their faith and courage await them. Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy will help the young Prince Caspian battle the evil King Miraz and ascend his rightful throne of Narnia.
