    What you need to know is that the world of Narnia was written in 7 volumes, and the books do not base themselves on the characters, the very foundation of the film; the only thing that remains is Narnia. If Peter and Susan do not return to Narnia, it is because they have learned everything about this world and will no longer need to go back; they must live their lives in their own world and not invent it in another.
    The 7 volumes, therefore, contain different but equally endearing characters, so don’t worry. ^^
    The 7 volumes and the characters are (in the order of the books):
    _ The Magician's Nephew, the characters: two children, Polly and Digory, witness the creation of Narnia, so this story is about the creation of Narnia.
    _ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Pevensie children are of course the characters; they go to Narnia by sheer chance but are supposed to fulfill an ancient prophecy, that is, 4 thrones at Cair Paravel, in order to defeat Jadis, the White Witch.
    _ The Horse and His Boy, Shasta and his horse are the characters; they meet the Pevensie children during their journey, in a brief moment when the children are in the midst of their reign in Narnia 1 (a little flashback, therefore, and parallel stories).
    _ Prince Caspian, of course, with the Pevensie children and Caspian, who calls for their help.
    _ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, featuring Lucy, Edmund, Caspian, and the Pevensie cousin.
    _ The Silver Chair
    _ The Last Battle, which explains the end of Narnia.

    Finally, the ending song is *The Call* by Regina Spektor.
    That's all. ^^

      Normally they shouldn't have the same relationship at all, they are just grouped stories, that's what it really is... !!

      It's true that the film adaptation is not faithful. I’ve read the 7 volumes and it’s really different. The first volume is based on Adam and Eve.

      Yes, that's right, they can no longer come to Narnia because they are too old. The others can return there.

    What is interesting is that Aslan says in the last installment, I quote:
    I will be by your side in your world but my name will be different.

    From there, we can imagine that these children, troubled by the war,
    psychologically defeated by all the horrors it brings in the background, not to mention the family drama,

    are helped in a semi-paradise created by God represented by Narnia.
    This is what the author seems to want to convey in his message.
    Aslan has all authority, is always present in tough times
    and teaches them in different ways how to handle problems.

    Moreover, they experience in fantastic adventures difficult situations so that once they arrive in the real world, all of this seems easy to them.

    It is an excellent story beyond the tale that teaches us many things between dream & reality, how to face adversity in one's own world.

    The reasons that drive adults to no longer set foot in the world of Narnia are the adulthood, the crumbling beliefs...
    the desire to lead their own life, to do something concrete, the learning being over, the encountered problems resolved,
    only the desire to satisfy the needs of adult life matters because no more questions arise to cast doubt on their future.

    Yet, they are sad to leave childhood behind :)

      "I'm going to be by your side in your world, but my name will be different." He refers to the name of Jesus here. Narnia corresponds to a narrated version of the Bible. (book 1: creation, book 2: Aslan's sacrifice to save the sinner (Edmund) and then resurrection... book 7: Apocalypse) there you go :) ^^

        If I'm not mistaken, the Telmarines descend from pirates and all that, and like, they found a magical gorge, and by going inside, they ended up in Narnia, unlike the others who were forced to come, for example with Susan's horn ^^ Don't rely on what I'm saying, my memory is playing tricks on me ^^'

    Could someone give me a brief summary of this movie, please? A friend who will soon be leaving me asked me to tell her about it, but I can't manage to recount everything in just a few words! Thank you in advance.

    Well, I don't understand much because I think if Susan and her brother don't come back in the next Narnia, there won't be a story anymore, especially since the next one will still have Prince Caspian. 

    I thought they would all return and that Susan would find her Prince Caspian. I'm really disappointed; without them, I feel like there's not much interest left!!! Snif

    And someone said: regarding the book, I don't know if Susan and her brother would come back at the right moment, but not through the same way. But do you know in which Narnia they'll return?????
    It stresses me out.

    THANK YOU FOR REPLYING TO ME.

      Well, think about it, they will surely come back because without them there is no more Narnia, so no more story, and therefore no more following movies.... !!

      Dear friend,* indeed, Peter and Susan have grown up and the world of Narnia is "reserved" for childhood. It turns out that Peter and Susan are now close to adulthood, which means that magic can no longer work. I cannot explain this to you because it is undoubtedly a buried secret of the author. In the world of Narnia, there are not seven volumes, there is one book which is composed of seven chapters. The first chapter is not "The Lion, the White Witch and the Wardrobe," which was named chapter 1 because it was the first to be adapted into a film. The first chapter is called "The Magician's Nephew," and there are no Pevensie children in this chapter. The reason is simple: the professor we see in the first film is a young man of Lucy or Edmund's age when, thanks to magical rings created by his uncle, Professor Kirk travels to Narnia and witnesses the creation of the world of Narnia by Aslan. As we know, when one year passes in our world, several centuries pass in Narnia. As the chapters of the book unfold, different stories of Narnia will be told, thus seven, from the creation and the arrival of the White Witch to the end of the world. For this last story, all the former kings and queens of Narnia's world, including Peter, Edmund, Lucy, and Professor Kirk, will return... Susan, however, will never return because she was not on the train with the others. They were on the train to recount their stories lived in Narnia. Susan has decided to renounce this world for reasons that belong to her, which explains her absence. Our characters are victims of the train accident. The world of Narnia can be considered as paradise, which explains their arrival in Narnia after the accident because all die in the accident. At that moment, they can witness the action of the giant "time," who takes care of the death of this old world, which is in some way a false world. They finally arrive in the true world, which is this paradise I'm talking about, and in this world, they find all the wonderful things they have known, including Cair Paravel, but also characters like Mr. Tumnus, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, Caspian...

      I have narrated to you as best as I could in order to be as brief as possible. But you must read the book to understand everything because I cannot explain everything like this as it would be far too long.
      I hope I have helped you well.
      The world of Narnia is my passion.

      Yes, but I disagree with what you say when you say that Narnia is reserved for childhood. Adults can go there, as evidenced by the first Narnia with Polly and Digory. And if Peter doesn't come back alive, it's because he understood the message that Aslan wanted to convey to him. His existence in our world...

    In fact, we are disappointed when he says they won't go anymore, but they all go back together in the last book, except for Suzan, who no longer believes.

        I think that if they don't come back, it's mainly because they have learned everything they could learn from this world. Peter learned that one should not fight unless it's for a noble cause, and Susan learned that she has to trust and that she should be able to fall in love.

      No, if you watch the trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, there will be a scene where we will see Susan and Peter, so maybe there will be Peter and Susan, we hope so.

      There are 4 songs that make up the end credits:

      "The Call" which starts when Susan kisses Caspian

      "A Dance Round the Memory Tree", "This Is Home", and "Lucy" which is indeed named after one of the heroines of Narnia.

    Hey yes :) if Edmund, Lucy, and Peter can't forget about that famous Narnia, the door to that world is wide open for them. But since Susan has chosen not to hear about that magical world anymore, I think she's not obliged to go back... right?

    There is no specific reason. Maybe they are too big.
    Anyway, here is what is written in the book: “I don’t think it’s a good idea to go back through the wardrobe to fetch the coats. You won’t be able to return to Narnia by that route anymore. And even if you did, the coats wouldn’t be much use now! Hey! What do you say? Yes, of course, you will return to Narnia one day. Once you are a king in Narnia, you are a king forever. But don’t try to use the same route twice. In fact, don’t try to enter at all. It will happen when you’re not looking for it. […] How will you know? Oh! You will know very well.” Those are the last sentences of the book. I hope that has clarified things for you.

    Ils ne reviendront plus parce que Susan et Peter ont appris ce qu'ils devaient apprendre à Narnia, par contre Edmund et Lucie, comme ils sont plus petits, peuvent revenir pour apprendre plus de choses. Peter et Susan ont appris plus parce qu'ils sont plus grands, en revanche Lucie et Edmund sont trop petits pour comprendre vite. Voilà.

      In my opinion, the reason they can't return to Narnia is that Narnia is a realm created by the imagination of children and dreams... yet Peter and Susan have grown too old: the proof? At the beginning of the movie, Peter doesn't believe Lucy when she tells him she saw Aslan, and he tells her she imagined it. The same goes for Susan, around the campfire at night, she expresses her surprise at not having seen him, and Lucy replies that she didn't want to see him, which is, after all, the world of dreams! Anyway, I don't think they will return simply because they are too old to believe... Can't wait for the sequel!!!

    In the next film, Edmund and Lucy will help the son of Prince Caspian (unfortunately, Ben Barnes will be made up to look older). I'm also sad that the Pevensies won’t return, but there aren't any main characters in the books, there is only one main place: Narnia! And there, everyone learns what they need to know.

    Otherwise, the ending makes me cry too much in the world of Narnia: Prince Caspian; the romance between Susan and Prince Caspian is perfect, not too mushy and not too vague, just perfect. Unfortunately, they will never be together (because the romance was added by the director; it doesn't exist in the book, but kudos for the idea).

    Kisses to the fans of the world of Narnia.

    What a magical place!

      Non, but it's really really lame that Susan isn't going back. I would have at least continued the movie with the whole family. It's really frustrating, damn it, because they don't believe anymore. If we've seen it once, they should be able to turn it back a second time, right???!!!!!!!!

    Hello, I need help quite quickly, actually before Wednesday.
    Here’s my problem, for my singing evaluation I chose to sing The Call by Regina Spektor, and I haven't seen the world of Narnia. I would therefore like to know if you could enlighten me on the meaning of the song in its context. I've seen excerpts, well okay, they leave, I've read your messages (which informed me about the names of the characters) but I don't know why they leave (they are too big okay, but since I don't know the movie at all it doesn't help me much) so it would be great if you could explain the lyrics in relation to the film. I’m copying the translation (it might be inaccurate)
    It starts like a feeling
    That then grew into hope
    That then transformed into calm thought
    That then transformed into calm word

    And then the word grew louder
    Until it became a battle cry

    Chorus:
    I will return
    When you call me
    No need to say goodbye

    Just because everything changes
    Does not mean it has never
    Been this way before

    All you can do is try to know
    Who your friends are
    As you turn away from war

    Choose a star on the dark horizon
    And follow the light

    Chorus:
    You will return
    When it’s over
    No need to say goodbye

    You will return
    When it’s over
    No need to say goodbye

    Now we are back to the beginning
    It’s just a feeling and no one else knows it yet
    But just because they cannot feel it too
    Does not mean you have to forget

    Let your memories grow again and again
    Until they are before your eyes

    Chorus:
    You will return
    When he calls you
    No need to say goodbye

    You will return
    When he calls you
    No need to say goodbye...

    Thank you!!!

    In the movie, we are told that Peter and Susan have learned everything in Narnia, so they no longer need to go to Narnia!

    Hi!
    I'm answering your question. I think Peter and Susan are not too important, as you've probably already been told, but they also acquire a lot of things for the future. However, we should normally find them in "The Last Battle."
    For the movie coming out in 2010, there will be other characters, like their cousin, who will discover the world of Narnia and so on. Don't worry; we'll see them again very soon.
    Very happy to have answered your question.

    BYE!!!

    For your information (I've read the books) and only one out of two talks about the Pevensies. The others are about different characters except for the last one which brings together all the characters except Susan (and that annoys me by the way)!!!
