View All Critic Reviews Jul 09, I haven't read the book this film takes it's inspiration from, but from what I could basically gather the stop-motion sequences are fairly accurate to the original story, but the framing device with the CGI little girl and old man are entirely new. The stop-motion sequences are all great. First of all, they look beautiful, and have an eerie hypnotic quality to them. Their storytelling is kind of in the form of fables, and highly symbolic, but the messages are timeless. The framing device for the most part works well. I take slight issue with it because it does work towards grounding a lot of the fables in a concrete world, and I don't know if that's really necessary. I think kids are smarter than we give them credit for, and we don't need to put it in a world they relate to completely to make the story work. That being said, it's a longer story now, and since they are doing it this way they do at least do it well. The parallels work, and they never make it too modern. It's very clearly in a world more resembling ours than the magical realism of The Little Prince's world, but there's no forced pop culture references or overly wacky comedy a la a bad Dr. Seuss film. The climax is where I do start to take a bit of issue though. For one, I thought the film went a little too long. It's not even that long, but it doesn't need to be, and at the point when I was ready for it to start wrapping up I realized there was 40 minutes left because it had to take a really weird detour that doesn't totally work. But even the parts that don't work too well aren't that bad, they're just not as good as the rest. Because the rest of it is so good. The stories of the Little Prince are all beautiful, and the framing device of the old man and girl and their strange friendship is genuinely touching. It's a great film, not perfect, but still great. It has a strong message of holding onto childhood that did get to me a little bit, and there's plenty of other sparks of truth sprinkled throughout that will be effective for kids and adults. Michael M Super Reviewer. Apr 21, A beautiful papery, textured animation of the Exupery classic, unfortunately surrounded by a highly conventional framing animation extolling the need to not be boring in worn-out terms. The put-upon child has the same face as any other Pixar kid. Le Petit Prince grows up into a miserable janitor and needs rescuing. The businessman captures the stars and crushes them to fuel his corporation. The rose is dead and baobabs have overcome the Prince's asteroid. Things are set to right obviously but the fluttering, Sufist magic of the original tale is drowned out by the bombast of a mundane CGI adventure. People do not seem to understand the destructive power of excitement. The businessman wasn't an ogre in the book; he was blind: he needed help. Plus the Tippler and the Lamplighter do not even appear they are referred to visually but ignored in the script. If you can watch only the bits relating to the original tale, do that. I may do my own edit just to see what it looks like. I imagine it is twenty minutes of ephemeral beauty, just like the book. Charles B Super Reviewer. Nov 09, Where do I possibly begin to describe just how incredible this film truly is? There have been many impressive animated films throughout the years, but many are geared toward a younger audience. There are very few that challenge their audience in the way that The Little Prince does, but that is only the beginning of what makes this film an absolute masterpiece. There is a core story to this film, but many things are left up to the interpretation of its audience, and while I think certain things happened throughout the course of this film, other may not have. The Little Prince is one of the greatest animated feature films in recent memory, and here is why. Originating as a French film before being brought to the rest of the world and dubbed in different languages for a wider audience, it just goes to show that there are many more great films out there that are hard to find. To put it simply, a little girl moves into a new home with her mother, in preparation for a very prestigious school. During the summer, she must follow every rule set in motion by her mother. When her mother leaves for work, she slowly discovers an elderly man living next door and he introduces her to the story of The Little Prince. Trying to convince her that this little boy is real and this other world exists where amazing things happen, they form a very strong bond with one another. From beginning to end, this film gleams with originality. Although it is a film that has child-like visuals, its core story is much more mature than one might expect. Children seem to feel as though their parents work too much and they never get to see them enough. We live in a world where children do not understand the motivation of their parents actions. The Little Prince takes that notion and takes a quite literal approach to displaying this on screen. This strange other universe has places where only children exist, finding every adult strange and others that have the same, yet reversed ideal. These ideals only work if the core characters of the film are interesting enough to want to see them venture into these worlds, and because they are, this film flows like a fictional piece of art. After viewing this film, I truly do not have a single complaint about the display of this fictional world. Sure, if you are to break down logic and not allow your mind to open wider than usual, you may find some flaws that bug you, but that is not what great storytelling is. Great storytelling is when a film allows you to open your mind and escape into a world that you wish you were in. Doing something that really has never been done in a major motion picture before, The Little Prince has three very different styles of animation throughout. There is the clean-looking visuals for the core storyline, the 2D hand-drawn animation to display the other world in story form, and the in-between where the story comes to life in order to dive deeper into the characters in the story. For many reasons, this style works wonders for this picture, as the audience is able to experience a few twists and turns that will leave them speechless. Consuelo was the rose in The Little Prince. I should never have fled. I should have guessed at the tenderness behind her poor ruses. The author had also met a precocious eight-year-old with curly blond hair while he was residing with a family in Quebec City in , Thomas De Koninck , the son of philosopher Charles De Koninck. Some have seen the prince as a Christ figure, as the child is sin-free and "believes in a life after death", subsequently returning to his personal heaven. In his writings as a special correspondent for Paris-Soir , the author described traveling from France to the Soviet Union by train. Late at night, during the trip, he ventured from his first-class accommodation into the third-class carriages, where he came upon large groups of Polish families huddled together, returning to their homeland. I sat down [facing a sleeping] couple. Between the man and the woman a child had hollowed himself out a place and fallen asleep. He turned in his slumber, and in the dim lamplight I saw his face. What an adorable face! A golden fruit had been born of these two peasants This is a musician's face, I told myself. This is the child Mozart. This is a life full of beautiful promise. Little princes in legends are not different from this. Protected, sheltered, cultivated, what could not this child become? When by mutation a new rose is born in a garden, all gardeners rejoice. They isolate the rose, tend it, foster it. But there is no gardener for men. This little Mozart will be shaped like the rest by the common stamping machine This little Mozart is condemned. His intention for the visit was to convince the United States to quickly enter the war against Nazi Germany and the Axis forces , and he soon became one of the expatriate voices of the French Resistance. In the midst of personal upheavals and failing health, he produced almost half of the writings for which he would be remembered, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love and loss, in the form of a young prince visiting Earth. An earlier memoir by the author recounted his aviation experiences in the Sahara, and he is thought to have drawn on the same experiences as plot elements in The Little Prince. He wrote and illustrated the manuscript during the summer and fall of Although greeted warmly by French-speaking Americans and by fellow expatriates who had preceded him in New York, his month stay would be marred by health problems and racked with periods of severe stress, martial and marital strife. These included partisan attacks on the author's neutral stance towards supporters of both ardent French Gaullist and Vichy France. After spending some time at an unsuitable clapboard country house in Westport, Connecticut , [56] they found Bevin House, a room mansion in Asharoken that overlooked Long Island Sound. The author-aviator initially complained, "I wanted a hut, and it's the Palace of Versailles. One of the visitors was his wife's Swiss writer paramour Denis de Rougemont , who also modeled for a painting of the Little Prince lying on his stomach, feet and arms extended up in the air. While the author's personal life was frequently chaotic, his creative process while writing was disciplined. On the other hand, he was ruthless about chopping out entire passages that just weren't quite right", eventually distilling the 30, word manuscript, accompanied by small illustrations and sketches, to approximately half its original length. The large white Second French Empire -style mansion, hidden behind tall trees, afforded the writer a multitude of work environments, but he usually wrote at a large dining table. His meditative view of sunsets at the Bevin House were incorporated in the book , where the prince visits a small planet with 43 daily sunsets, a planet where all that is needed to watch a sunset "is move your chair a few steps. In addition to the manuscript, several watercolour illustrations by the author are also held by the museum. They were not part of the first edition. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux "One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye" was reworded and rewritten some 15 times before achieving its final phrasing. Many pages and illustrations were cut from the finished work as he sought to maintain a sense of ambiguity to the story's theme and messages. Included among the deletions in its 17th chapter were references to locales in New York, such as the Rockefeller Center and Long Island. Other deleted pages described the prince's vegetarian diet and the garden on his home asteroid that included beans, radishes, potatoes and tomatoes, but which lacked fruit trees that might have overwhelmed the prince's planetoid. Deleted chapters discussed visits to other asteroids occupied by a retailer brimming with marketing phrases, and an inventor whose creation could produce any object desired at a touch of its controls. For him, the night is hopeless. And for me, his friend, the night is also hopeless. In April a Parisian auction house announced the discovery of two previously unknown draft manuscript pages that included new text. The person he meets is an "ambassador of the human spirit". The novella thus takes a more politicized tack with an anti-war sentiment, as 'to gargle' in French is an informal reference to 'honour', which the author may have viewed as a key factor in military confrontations between nations. Werth soon became Saint-Exupery's closest friend outside of his Aeropostale associates. Werth spent the war unobtrusively in Saint-Amour , his village in the Jura , a mountainous region near Switzerland where he was "alone, cold and hungry", a place that had few polite words for French refugees. I ask children to forgive me for dedicating this book to a grown-up. I have a serious excuse: this grown-up is the best friend I have in the world. I have another excuse: this grown-up can understand everything, even books for children. I have a third excuse: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs to be comforted. If all these excuses are not enough then I want to dedicate this book to the child whom this grown-up once was. All grown-ups were children first. But few of them remember it. So I correct my dedication:. The following month, Werth learned of his friend's disappearance from a radio broadcast. Werth died in Paris in He had studied architecture as a young adult but nevertheless could not be considered an artist — which he self-mockingly alluded to in the novella's introduction. Several of his illustrations were painted on the wrong side of the delicate onion skin paper that he used, his medium of choice. Some appeared as doll-like figures, baby puffins, angels with wings, and even a figure similar to that in Robert Crumb 's later famous Keep on Truckin' of In a letter to a friend he sketched a character with his own thinning hair, sporting a bow tie, viewed as a boyish alter-ego, and he later gave a similar doodle to Elizabeth Reynal at his New York publisher's office. Usually the boy had a puzzled expression Most of the time he was alone, sometimes walking up a path. Sometimes there was a single flower on the planet. One "most striking" illustration depicted the pilot-narrator asleep beside his stranded plane prior to the prince's arrival. One major source was an intimate friend of his in New York City, Silvia Hamilton later, Reinhardt , to whom the author gave his working manuscript just prior to returning to Algiers to resume his work as a Free French Air Force pilot. Seven unpublished drawings for the book were also displayed at the museum's exhibit, including fearsome looking baobab trees ready to destroy the prince's home asteroid, as well as a picture of the story's narrator, the forlorn pilot, sleeping next to his aircraft. That image was likely omitted to avoid giving the story a 'literalness' that would distract its readers, according to one of the Morgan Library's staff. You can almost imagine him wandering without much food and water and conjuring up the character of the Little Prince. He would remain immensely proud of The Little Prince , and almost always kept a personal copy with him which he often read to others during the war. As part of a 32 ship military convoy he voyaged to North Africa where he rejoined his old squadron to fight with the Allies, resuming his work as a reconnaissance pilot despite the best efforts of his friends, colleagues and fellow airmen who could not prevent him from flying. Many of the book's initial reviewers were flummoxed by the fable's multi-layered story line and its morals, [8] perhaps expecting a significantly more conventional story from one of France's leading writers. Its publisher had anticipated such reactions to a work that fell neither exclusively into a children's nor adult's literature classification. The New York Times reviewer wrote shortly before its publication "What makes a good children's book? The Little Prince , which is a fascinating fable for grown- ups [is] of conjectural value for boys and girls of 6, 8 and This is one. Others were not shy in offering their praise. In a way it's a sort of credo. Travers , author of the Mary Poppins series of children books, wrote in a New York Herald Tribune review: " The Little Prince will shine upon children with a sidewise gleam. It will strike them in some place that is not the mind and glow there until the time comes for them to comprehend it. The book enjoyed modest initial success, residing on The New York Times Best Seller list for only two weeks, [65] as opposed to his earlier English translation, Wind, Sand and Stars which remained on the same list for nearly five months. As of April , [83] The Little Prince became the world's most translated non-religious book into languages together with Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio. Katherine Woods — [84] produced the first English translation of , which was later joined by several other English translations. Her translation contained some errors. Each translation approaches the essence of the original with an individual style and focus. Le Petit Prince is often used as a beginner's book for French-language students, and several bilingual and trilingual translations have been published. As of , it has been translated into more than languages and dialects, including Sardinian , [92] the constructed international languages of Esperanto and Klingon , and the Congolese language Alur , as well as being printed in Braille for blind readers. It is also often used as an introduction into endangered varieties with very few speakers like Maya , Aromanian or Banat Bulgarian It is one of the few modern books to have been translated into Latin , as Regulus, vel Pueri soli sapiunt [93] [94] in by Auguste Haury — and as Regulus in by Alexander Winkler. In , the book was also translated into Toba Qom , an indigenous language of northern Argentina , as So Shiyaxauolec Nta'a. It was the first book translated into that language since the New Testament. It was also translated to a northern Italian dialect, Vogherese. Anthropologist Florence Tola, commenting on the suitability of the work for Toban translation, said there is "nothing strange [when] the Little Prince speaks with a snake or a fox and travels among the stars, it fits perfectly into the Toba mythology". Linguists have compared the many translations and even editions of the same translation for style, composition, titles, wordings and genealogy. As an example: as of there are approximately 47 translated editions of The Little Prince in Korean , [Note 10] and there are also about 50 different translated editions in Chinese produced in both mainland China and Taiwan. Many of them are titled Prince From a Star , while others carry the book title that is a direct translation of The Little Prince. The book in its final form has also been republished in 70th anniversary editions by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in English and by Gallimard in French. A Peruvian professor named Roger Gonzalo took two years to translate the novel into Aymara , the result titled Pirinsipi Wawa. His original words of concepts that do not exist in Aymara and bundled them with explanatory footnotes. Chile had its first translation in ; Peru in February ; Venezuela in , and Uruguay in The Little Prince has an adaptation for the inhabitants of Bavaria , Austria and South Tirol , covering for a large variety of the Bavarian language. The book was adapted by Johannes Limmer and published in The Little Prince is one of the most popular and beloved foreign works of literature in China. It is reported that there are more than 70 Chinese translations of the novella. French law allows for a copyright of 70 years from the author's death. Saint-Exupery, because of extraordinary service to his nation, is granted an additional 30 years, meaning, in France, Le Petit Prince does not actually fall out of copyright until the end of Additionally, the title character himself has been adapted in a number of promotional roles, including as a symbol of environmental protection , by the Toshiba Group. The multi-layered fable, styled as a children's story with its philosophical elements of irony and paradox directed towards adults, allowed The Little Prince to be transferred into various other art forms and media, including:. The exhibition displayed the original manuscript, translated by the museum's art historian Ruth Kraemer, [] as well as a number of the story's watercolours drawn from the Morgan's permanent collection. In January , the museum mounted a third, significantly larger, exhibition centered on the novella's creative origins and its history. It was if visitors were able to look over his shoulder as he worked, according to curator Christine Nelson. The new, more comprehensive exhibits included 35 watercolor paintings and 25 of the work's original handwritten manuscript pages, [] with his almost illegible handwriting penciled onto 'Fidelity' watermarked onion skin paper. The autograph manuscript pages included struck- through content that was not published in the novella's first edition. As well, some 43 preparatory pencil drawings that evolved into the story's illustrations accompanied the manuscript, many of them dampened by moisture that rippled its onion skin media. He presented his working manuscript and its preliminary drawings in a "rumpled paper bag", placed onto her home's entryway table, offering, "I'd like to give you something splendid, but this is all I have".

Other sources, such as LePetitPrince. Their discussions, passed through Anne's meager French, were somewhat muted. However, the excited conversation between Antoine and Anne soon blossomed "like monster flowers", with each finishing the other's sentences. The meeting between the two future P war pilots was termed "less than a rousing success". Moreover, Charles later became unhappy about his wife's vast esteem for the French adventurer. He originally wrote the story with 43 sunsets, but posthumous editions often quote '44 sunsets', possibly in tribute. He utilized all his contacts and powers of persuasion to overcome his age and physical handicap barriers, which would have completely barred an ordinary patriot from serving as a war pilot. He volunteered for almost every such proposed mission submitted to his squadron, and protested fiercely after being grounded following his second sortie which ended with a demolished P His connections in high places, plus a publishing agreement with Life Magazine , were instrumental in having the grounding order against him lifted. In response, de Gaulle struck back at the author by implying that the author was a German supporter, and then had all his literary works banned in France's North African colonies.

The climax is where I do start to take a bit of issue though. For one, I thought the film went a little too long. What is truly important I cannot see. He drank, his eyes closed. Then I drank. It was like a feast of water. This was not ordinary food of course, but it might just as well have been. The sweetness of this water was born from the long walk under the stars, from the song of the pulley, and for the effort of pulling up that bucket. For travellers, stars tell them where they are, where they are going. For others, they are just little lights in the sky. For scholars, they are the world of the unknown, yet to be discovered and understood. For my business man, they are gold. But all stars stay silent. And you? No one else in the world will see the stars as you do… For you, and only for you, the stars will always be laughing. Grant is out now. Meet the Little Prince, a young fellow who hails from a tiny, distant planet. He loves to watch sunsets and look after his flower, to ask questions and to laugh. And now here he is on Earth, appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the desert, looking for a friend. The friend he finds is the narrator of this story — a pilot who has crash landed and is in grave danger of dying of thirst. The Little Prince might be just a boy but he can help our pilot. Because he understands the really important things in life — things like flowers, stars, a drink of water or laughing. Many grown-ups have lost sight of what matters and children have to remember to be tolerant towards them. But adult or child, very silly or very wise, this story is for you. Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can read a letter from master storyteller and translator of this book Michael Morpurgo! If a little fellow comes along, if he laughs, if he has golden hair, and if he never answers questions, then you will know who he is. He is the Little Prince, the mysterious, innocent and beautiful boy who appears to a pilot stranded in the desert and makes an extraordinary request. He has captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world since his story first appeared in , written down by an aristocratic French aviator who soon after disappeared during a flight across the sea. The Little Prince journeys to our planet from his home among the stars, encountering all sorts of benighted grown-ups along the way, and a fox, who teaches him how to see the important things in life. But the Prince has left behind a flower growing on his star, a rose which is his treasure and his burden, and before long he must return to it. Master storyteller Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse, has translated what is for him 'one of the greatest stories ever written' so that more English readers might discover the joy of reading this enchanting fable. The Little Prince is a story for everyone, for children and grown-up children, for kings, geographers and lamp-lighters, even for the very serious and the very wise.

So, first comment: 1 This is not a movie for small children. It won't interest them. It's in this movie, but it only comprises a small part of it. Most of the movie is a frame for that tale, the story of a small girl who meets an elderly aviator who tells her, in bits and pieces, the story of his encounter, many years before, with the Little Prince. It took me awhile to accept the frame story. It's fairly banal, fairly Hollywood. Nowhere near the originality of St. But if you let yourself go with it, it has an appeal over time. The part devoted to St. We also see the prince as an adult, very changed. That came as a shock at first to me, but again, I let myself go with it, and it had a certain fairly obvious interest. This is not a great movie. But it's worth seeing. Again, however, this is NOT a movie for little children. They will be bored. Looking for something to watch?

The exhibition displayed the original manuscript, translated by the museum's art historian Ruth Kraemer, [] as well as a number of the story's watercolours drawn from the Morgan's permanent collection. In January , the museum mounted a third, significantly larger, exhibition centered on the novella's creative origins and its history. It was if visitors were able to look over his shoulder as he worked, according to curator Christine Nelson. The new, more comprehensive exhibits included 35 watercolor paintings and 25 of the work's original handwritten manuscript pages, [] with his almost illegible handwriting penciled onto 'Fidelity' watermarked onion skin paper. The autograph manuscript pages included struck-through content that was not published in the novella's first edition. As well, some 43 preparatory pencil drawings that evolved into the story's illustrations accompanied the manuscript, many of them dampened by moisture that rippled its onion skin media.

However, the excited conversation between Antoine and Anne soon blossomed "like monster flowers", with each finishing the other's sentences. The meeting between the two future P war pilots was termed "less than a rousing success". Moreover, Charles later became unhappy about his wife's vast esteem for the French adventurer. He originally wrote the story with 43 sunsets, but posthumous editions often quote '44 sunsets', possibly in tribute. He utilized all his contacts and powers of persuasion to overcome his age and physical handicap barriers, which would have completely barred an ordinary patriot from serving as a war pilot. He volunteered for almost every such proposed mission submitted to his squadron, and protested fiercely after being grounded following his second sortie which ended with a demolished P His connections in high places, plus a publishing agreement with Life Magazine , were instrumental in having the grounding order against him lifted. In response, de Gaulle struck back at the author by implying that the author was a German supporter, and then had all his literary works banned in France's North African colonies.

The sole inhabitant of the next planet is a conceited man who wants nothing from the prince but flattery. The prince subsequently meets a drunkard, who explains that he must drink to forget how ashamed he is of drinking. The fourth planet introduces the prince to a businessman, who maintains that he owns the stars, which makes it very important that he know exactly how many stars there are. The prince then encounters a lamplighter, who follows orders that require him to light a lamp each evening and put it out each morning, even though his planet spins so fast that dusk and dawn both occur once every minute. Finally the prince comes to a planet inhabited by a geographer. The geographer, however, knows nothing of his own planet, because it is his sole function to record what he learns from explorers. He asks the prince to describe his home planet, but when the prince mentions the flower, the geographer says that flowers are not recorded because they are ephemeral. The geographer recommends that the little prince visit Earth. On Earth the prince meets a snake , who says that he can return him to his home, and a flower , who tells him that people lack roots. He comes across a rose garden, and he finds it very depressing to learn that his beloved rose is not, as she claimed, unique in the universe. A fox then tells him that if he tames the fox—that is, establishes ties with the fox—then they will be unique and a source of joy to each other. The narrator and little prince have now spent eight days in the desert and have run out of water. The two then traverse the desert in search of a well, which, miraculously, they find. The little prince tells the narrator that he plans to return that night to his planet and flower and that now the stars will be meaningful to the narrator, because he will know that his friend is living on one of them. Returning to his planet requires allowing the poisonous snake to bite him. The story resumes six years later. He ends by imploring the reader to contact him if they ever spot the little prince. The Little Prince draws unflattering portraits of grown-ups as being hopelessly narrow-minded. In contrast, children come to wisdom through open-mindedness and a willingness to explore the world around them and within themselves. French- and English-language versions of the novella were published in though the book did not appear in France until Critics were unsure what to make of The Little Prince , and it was not immediately popular. It was unclear whether the book was meant for children or adults, though British writer P. Many critics drew parallels between the characters and events of The Little Prince and the life of its author, who wrote the book while living in New York City , having fled the turmoil of World War II in France. The Little Prince was translated into more than languages. It was also adapted into radio plays and films—among them animated and musical versions—as well as operas, ballets, and theatre in countries throughout the world. Article Contents. Print print Print.
