While I found The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe to be a little, what's the word, childish, I have to admit that I like the idea of Narnia being a bit more savage than we remember. As a matter of fact, the trailer does make Prince Caspian look like a pretty intense fantasy epic, with a story that easily leaves behind what we saw in the first installment. Darker music, lots of armed characters, and aged children that we can finally believe in. I like it!
Some characters -- besides the children -- from the first installment make it back for Caspian. Though I'm pretty much over Aslan, it's still nice to hear Neeson's voice again.
