This 2015 French version has European Production written all over itBut in the best sense. There are a few comments that need to be made regarding Little Prince "purists"But let's first focus on analyzing it. If thousands of kilometers separate youUse your imagination, as I did! Little Prince seems tailor made for Grandparents/Grandkids viewing a la "UP" ? Lucky Me! RESULT: A Nine Star experience!Īlthough 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. 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.

Running out of superlatives, something I seldom do, so I will stop here. 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. The animation made both conditions "real" at the same time. She is at the same time transfixed with sadness and soaking wet. There is one scene where the little girl watches the Aviator go to the hospital in the rain. Does that make me sound daft? I hope not. Watching the eyes in this film, I felt as though I was watching real people. 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. (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). 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.

I have seen a lot of films, done a lot of reviews and thought I had seen it all.įirst, I had not read the book prior to seeing this film nor had I seen the earlier screen version.

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. 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. A world that he himself was initiated into long ago by The Little Prince. The Aviator introduces his new friend to an extraordinary world where anything is possible. 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. From Mark Osborne comes the first-ever animated feature film adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's iconic masterpiece, The Little Prince.
