I thought it was Voyage of the dawn treader that failed (I don't even remember watching that film now that I think about it)
wasn't part of the issue that there were some writers strikes as well?
I vaguely remember they wanted the actors to be the right age for their characters as they played them so there was going to be a few years between films anyway (the horse and his boy takes place between the defeat of the white wich and the end of the lion the witch and the wardrobe) but i think the strikes and dawn treader doing bad stopped all that
I remember the 1989 prince caspian BBC TV adaptation being OK (if really low budget and its obvious half the cast are people in fur suits). Never saw wardrobe dawn treader or silver chair though
Why did the Prince Caspian movie fail?

The Wardrobe TV adaptation (I guess from that same series. Didn’t know it, i.e. the adaptations, was a series, tbh!) is great.
Would highly recommend.
I did find that on youtube yesterday and gave it a bit of a watch
I had somehow completely forgotten that The Voyage of the Dawn Treader even GOT a movie.
It was a terrible adaptation. That's the long and short of it. Prince Caspian wasn't great either, but Dawn Treader had no idea what it was doing.
Yeah, that'll do it.
Though knowing what I know now, I wonder if Dawn Treader was deliberately sabotaged.
Honestly asking. I saw Lion in theaters, and never got a chance to see the second film, so I have no opinion on it.
