The Little Prince Storyline

From Mark Osborne comes the first-ever animated feature film adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s iconic masterpiece, The Little Prince. At the heart of it all is The Little Girl, who’s being prepared by her mother for the very grown-up world in which they live – only to be interrupted by her eccentric, kind-hearted neighbor, The Aviator. The Aviator introduces his new friend to an extraordinary world where anything is possible. A world that he himself was initiated into long ago by The Little Prince. It’s here that The Little Girl’s magical and emotional journey into her own imagination – and into the universe of The Little Prince – begins. And it’s where The Little Girl rediscovers her childhood and learns that ultimately, it’s human connections that matter most, and that what’s truly essential can only be seen with the heart.

The Little Prince Movie Reviews

Compelling magical transformative hypnotic magical best animation ever

Animation is under-estimated, perhaps because we tend to be afraid of what we do not understand.

I have seen a lot of films, done a lot of reviews and thought I had seen it all.

I was wrong.

First, I had not read the book prior to seeing this film nor had I seen the earlier screen version.

No matter. I was transfixed and stunned. I was still sitting there when the final credits rolled, which is really a feat because the credits roll for 10 minutes after the word FIN (THE END) rolls. (If you miss the credits, you miss the TURN AROUND song which itself could be highlight of one of the most incredible music scores in one of the most incredible movies ever).

When computers were first being married to animation — a marriage made in heaven I think — I recall an interview with a senior animator who confided that when the day came that they could get the “eyes” right, they would have reached the pinnacle of their craft.

That day has arrived. This movie is the herald.

Watching the eyes in this film, I felt as though I was watching real people. Does that make me sound daft? I hope not. There is one scene where the little girl watches the Aviator go to the hospital in the rain. She is at the same time transfixed with sadness and soaking wet. The animation made both conditions “real” at the same time. I don’t know how. But it did.

Jeff Bridges, a brilliant actor with a record longer than your arm, gives the “voice” performance of his career here, and Rachael McAdams, former Femme Fatale, former “against type” actress (TRUE DETECTIVE) ditto.

Running out of superlatives, something I seldom do, so I will stop here.

See it. Don’t argue. Just see it.

The Little Prince-Meets Little Girl: A French Children’s Classic Gets a Makeover that Truly Works!-With NO SPOILERS!

…….from Pasto,Colombia…Via: L. A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA and ORLANDO, FL

The expectations you have going into a film have a tremendous influence, as you no doubt have experienced, on your take away after viewing! Other than a couple general comments, only God knows their origin, that The Little Prince was really “worth it”, I did not have much in the way of any well-defined expectations. Lucky Me! RESULT: A Nine Star experience!

Although my wife, Carmen, was the only person accompanying me, soon after initiating viewing, I imagined my granddaughter and daughter in the room, sharing the experience with us! My granddaughter, as is the case with most eight year old girls, loves anything involving a princess! If you have grand kids, you must watch this with them. If thousands of kilometers separate youUse your imagination, as I did! Little Prince seems tailor made for Grandparents/Grandkids viewing a la “UP” ?

There are a few comments that need to be made regarding Little Prince “purists”But let’s first focus on analyzing it. This 2015 French version has European Production written all over itBut in the best sense. It is artistic, tells a touching and delicate story, has a number of songs in French that manage to be uplifting and, yet, simultaneously haunting, and, perhaps most importantly, interweaves the Classic 1940’s Original story line with a cautionary helicopter parent tale that both compliments and underscores said original!

Obviously, one of the great ironies of this 2015 version is that the old man/pilot takes it upon himself to help the Little Girl learn just what it is to be a kid! At the heart of both story lines is that one of the most important things in life is keeping that spark of being a kid alive within us, even if we live to be 100! Earlier, I mentioned Little Prince purists Well, whenever a movie brings a classic literary work to the screen, there are always viewers who want to see the original literary work brought to the screen with no changes, whatsoever, to dialogue or story line! Forget that we are dealing with the now one century old, two different medium conundrum! Needless to say, many of them simply could not get past this point. Obviously, this was absolutely no problem at all for me! To the contrary, it seemed quite a plus!

IMDb Stats (Only 37 other reviews and 12,000 ratings votes) indicate that very few people have seen the film…Don’t miss it! And make it a family affair! (However, kids under 7 year might find PRINCE a bit “Slow”, or might not “Get It”!)

9*…ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!

Any comments or questions, in English o en Español, are most welcome!

Good adaptation of the classic story

A little girl and her mother move house in order to for her to get into a prestigious school. Their neighbour is a strange old man with a dilapidated airplane in his garden. Despite eccentricities the little girl befriends him and discovers his written memories of an adventure he had the desert. An adventure where he met The Little Prince.

Great adaptation of the story by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Having read the book I was intrigued to see how they turned into a feature film as the book doesn’t seem long enough. By packaging The Little Prince into a modern-day story of the little girl we have enough for a movie (sort of…more about that later).

The first half of the movie is quite wonderful: the added-on part of the little girl works very well, making the story of The Little Prince more relatable and bringing it to life quite vividly and with good humour. It’s also quite profound, showing us that we should let kids be kids rather than stifle their curiosity, creativity, spontaneity and sense of adventure with overly strict regimens and projections of ambition.

It’s quite the emotional, engaging, funny and eye-opening journey and I even enjoyed this part more than the book itself.

However, at almost exactly the halfway mark the book wraps up so from here on it’s all new plot. This needn’t have been a problem: until now the added-on stuff was fantastic. However, having wonderfully woven together The Little Prince and the improvised story the screenwriters didn’t know what to do with it or how to bring the story home. More than this, the story was complete by half time – it didn’t need anything more. But then we’d have a 50-minute movie – not ideal.

What follows is a clumsy examination of the loss of childhood innocence and the pitfalls of adulthood. It doesn’t go anywhere new – the first half already made this point – and the plot is quite basic, far more standard adventure film than warm, profound comedy-drama.

The conclusion is quite emotional and ties things up well, preventing the lasting memory of the film from being one of an average animated adventure. However, a better second half and this film would have been brilliant.
