Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I put off watching this movie for a long while because I grew up reading the book. The Little Prince is my favorite book & I was terrified it would be terrible, but I am so glad I was wrong. This film is heartwarming & brings to life all of the charm the book has. The animation style is perfect & captures the characters beautifully. There are a few nitpicky things I didn't enjoy as much, but it did the book so much justice. If you haven't read The Little Prince, please do! It's short & lovely & a real classic. But if you are not a reader, this movie encapsulates the intellect & message of the book in the best way possible. If you, like me, are concerned about watching this film because you love the book, give it a watch. I guarantee it will not disappoint you.

A multi-country collaboration between a LOT of studios, by the director of Kung Fu Panda adapted The Little Prince, one of France's most beloved children's books back in 2015. The film however, takes a very interesting approach to the book.For those who haven't read it, The Little Prince contains a lot of philosophical anecdotes, the first several of which have a theme of the child versus the adult. And this movie opens with a girl being raised in a strict household with her mother's intention of turning her into a "proper adult." But then she makes friends with the strange eccentric man next door, who is the aviator and writer of the The Little Prince book, (in universe.)Just to clarify that The Little Girl is not in the little prince book. Also, none of the characters in the book or the movie, have proper names. The movie cuts between the story of the prince, and the little girl's reaction to the story.And in a nutshell, this movie is INCREDIBLY good. I love it. It feels like a movie that could have come right out of a mainstream Western studio; if they didn't have to force in a joke every 10 seconds, and were allowed to be subtler and metaphorical. While it does draw the lines between kids and adults in such a blatant, stark way, and maybe her transition from a mini adult into a playful kid is a little bit too easy, and MAYBE this whole lesson of keeping hold of your inner child isn't really one this generation has any problems with, there's still a lot of relatable, inspirational material here!I love the way she initially reacts to the story in a SUPER literal way, which seems to echo how much fiction is judged that way recently! Also, this film approaches the concept of belief in a remarkably mature and tactful way.But then the last act suddenly takes a SHARP left turn, and takes on a VASTLY different tactic of re-imaging the book that's an interesting idea, but completely ruined because of how over-the-top spastic-ally CONTROLLING the tone was. Also, because the moral is SPELLED OUT to the audience, which it didn't need to be.But overall, I thought this movie was AMAZING. It's beautiful, it's touching, and it gets these really complex ideas across in very relatable ways. This is a movie I would watch again and again.

I watched this movie on an airplane and watched it again when I got home. This is a heart warming story, and it really reminds me to think about what's really important. However, I think this movie would be better if it is not animated. The graphic is a little jumpy, and the image of the girl is just a little odd. The figure of the little prince is great though, it is exactly what I imaged he would look like after reading the book. Still, great movie, and I'll definitely watch it again.

I would give this a zero if IMDb allowed a zero. This lame, pseudo adaptation of the Little Prince deserves nothing precisely because it has NOTHING to do with the book. It capitalizes on a good story by turning it into some dreadful vehicle for how "it would have been such a better story if it had been entirely about a girl who saves several men..her mother..and probably the population of a small, androgynous colony on Mars... from the failures they were doomed to, without her...sniff". really, really lousy. Saint-Exupery wrote a beautiful story. But it didn't involve a precocious girl (oh, poor, poor sad thing.) who was exploited by her single, regretful mother (oh, bad, bad mummy) and how said girl redeems the life of a crusty old man or the eponymous Little Prince. This SUCKS. SUCK FEST. FESTIVAL OF SUCK. SUCKY, SUCKY, SUCKY, SUCKY, SUCKY SUCK. i think you get my drift. SUUUUUUCKCKCKCKCKCKS!!!!!!!!
