GVFAn,
I have read all of Lewis' Narnia books, and have seen (and loved) both of the movies. The second movie, Prince Caspian, is an allegory depicting a land that has forgotten its 'supernatural' roots - Aslan (a type of Christ), and the supernatural elements (Narnian creatures). It was very much a picture of the world that Lewis was living in - and our world today. Many people in our world have 'forgotten' about God, and don't believe in the supernatural anymore. And the story of Lucy represents us - how Aslan / Jesus calls us to follow Him today, and how we must step out in faith and obedience to follow him, even if no one else does. There will always be skeptics who say, "There is no God," but we must not be deterred from doing what God is calling us to do. There are many Christian books written out there that go into depth what all of the symbolism and imagery in Lewis' works are all about, but I hope this helps!
p.s. you can check out Focus on the Family's review of the film here:

That will give you some more insight, also...
