A GOOD HAIR DAY… MPC CROWNS NARNIA; PRINCE CASPIAN

MPC has provided nearly 900 animated character shots for Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media’s second instalment of the Chronicles of Narnia franchise; Prince Caspian, directed by Academy Award nominee Andrew Adamson. 

Star of the digital cast is Reepicheep, a swashbuckling mouse-chief who leads a posse of mice into dangerous missions and daring castle raids. MPC's art department provided Reepicheep's design, concepting his facial features, body and carefully detailed fur. Reepicheep was voiced by Eddie Izzard, giving MPC's animation department a bold guide for bringing the character to life.
