Andrew Adamson has racked up quite an impressive filmography in seven short years, starting with the Oscar-winning Shrek and its blockbuster sequel, but despite their success, some people still questioned putting an "animation director" at the helm of an epic like C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe , only for him to prove himself more than capable of handling epic live action films equally well. With The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian , the filmmaker might have outdone himself by creating huge battle scenes with even more lifelike Narnian creatures and upping the game of all the young actors involved.

We did the best we could covering a lot of bases from his decision to return to Narnia and specifically Prince Caspian as well as how he got director Michael Apted prepared for his foray into Narnia with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader .
