Disney Interactive Studios is really trying to outdo the production levels that Electronic Arts achieved with their Lord of the Rings games by having live scenes filmed for the sole benefit of the game.

Today, Disney Interactive Studios announced that two unique film scenes were created for the The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian game. The scenes were created to link The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian stories. Part of 18 live action moments in the game, the scenes will feature Dr. Cornelius (Vincent Grass) telling Caspian (Ben Barnes) the story of how Narnia fell to the Telmarines hundreds of years ago.
"The special filmed content that is exclusive to the video game provides insight into Narnia and the events around the Prince Caspian story like nothing else," said Prince Caspian film director Andrew Adamson. "With movie fans' enthusiasm for unique experiences in video games as well, these scenes are ideal to complement the Prince Caspian game's action."
"The close partnerships we maintain with our film division and Walden Media allowed us to utilize the cast, crew and set to create two unique scenes exclusively for the video game," said Ed Bainbridge, vice president of European production, Disney Interactive Studios. "These entertaining and memorable scenes enable us to portray a part of the Narnia history that is drawn from the fiction and played out in the game."
