Yes, that scenario might work, especially if you are making a series out of the whole Narnia Chronicles. Then there would be more of a link and explanation between LWW and PC.

What I don't like about the film as it is, is that there is no time to explain anything. First the baby is born, then a woman whispers something to Grozelle, who then reports to Miraz, then you see Dr Cornelius, looking as sinister as could be, creeping along a corridor to warn Prince Caspian, who just gets into a cupboard in time to avoid the assassins (paparazzi? - couldn't resist that ). I thought that was a bit cheesy, since a good and thorough assassin would have checked the wardrobe, once they realised there was only an extra pillow in the bed.

And for those covert midnight talks on the top of the tower, mentioned in the book, I would have expected Dr Cornelius to have always checked to make sure that Caspian's bed would look like there was still someone in it, before going on top of the tower. That is adventure commonsense.

It usually takes a while for a baby to be born, and I would have expected Dr Cornelius to be provident enough to have the horse saddled, just in case, which he was, even in the book. But why not have taken Caspian somewhere safer than his own bedroom, where they could observe what the outcome of the birth might be, and where Caspian (and the audience) could get all the explanations that are necessary? As it was, Caspian in the film barely had time to get away before the fireworks went up to announce a boy.

"I preferred the somewhat more dramatic Walden method of dealing with the new baby to the rather fake BBC way of dealing with it, with Miraz cocking an ear to the noise of a baby crying, "

Ooh, no...I hated Walden's version. I actually liked BBC's fake version, since it seemed more true to the book, and cause...well, I don't really like kids and I'm sorry, but I'd much prefer the baby not appear at all, not even to cry.

Caspian apparently ages from when he has his nurse to when he flees, but it's so indistinct and briefly mentioned that many people could be forgiven for assuming not much time passed. Having him as about, I dunno, 8, would work.

I really hated the whole opening. IT should have started at the train station with the pevensies (and without the bullying) and then had them go to narnia, and hear about the rest from Trumpkin.

In the movie, they screwed the entire order of the events up, that it felt like a different story entirely! It was a good movie, but a terrible adaptation of the book.
