This wonderful family classic The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian starts with a feeling a dread and boredom. The children, once adult kings and queens of Narnia, find themselves having to live the lives of children in post-WW2. The opening scene shows how the wisdom that was gleaned as adults has slipped away and reduced to pubescent brawling.
As fate would have it, the siblings are once again transported to Narnia, only it is not the Narnia they remember. The animals are now hostile, an uprising in on the horizon, and Peter, Edmund, and Susan still do not listen to infallible insight of the youngest, Lucy.
During the adventures, pride becomes infectious, hope is deferred, anger prevails, yet love finds a way through it all. The directors and writers have the ability to engage the viewer and soon he/she finds him/herself on an emotional roller coaster. When the credits roll and the popcorn bags are empty, the viewer is left with the overall sensation that all will be well with the world and love will find a way.
