Action

The miniseries is divided into six episodes, each about 25-30 minutes.

Here Jill of Aslan the lion receives the order to seek together with Eustace for the lost Prince Rilian, the beloved son of an aged king Caspian. With the help of Puddleglum Moorwacklers the two get into the castle of the Giants, where there will soon be a celebration. As Eustace and Jill find out, however, that the main course is served man, the three are forced to flee. Through a tunnel they get into a subterranean realm used in the stone essence of the "Green Lady". They also learn an ally of the Greens know Lady, a man who suffers from a curse. The curse makes him at night in a dangerous beast that can only be kept on a specially constructed " silver chair" under control. When Jill and Eustace break the curse, they must find that the stranger is Prince Rilian and the Green Lady is planning an invasion of Narnia.

Background

The resulting UK mythic exterior shots, the well-coordinated proportions person to giant and also a convincing representation of the two young actors David Thwates and Camilla Power make the final of the Narnia trilogy to an unforgettable experience. Nevertheless, the film in some places seems lengthy and also the special effects are now long obsolete.
