The Little Prince Trailer

A Little Girl's Mother has high expectations of her daughter, given her own career success, and thus takes it upon herself to plan out her entire life, complete with a rigorous study and exercise schedule. The Little Girl agrees to knuckle down at first, but soon finds herself distracted by her peculiar elderly neighbour, The Aviator, who wishes to tell her the story of his encounter with The Little Prince - an other worldly being who lived on an astronaut before landing in the middle of a desert on Earth. The Little Girl is fascinated by the tale, and starts to understand what the most important things are in life, such as friendship. She starts to lament the idea of growing up and the idea of forgetting the significant things she understands as a child; that only the heart can give her a true vision in life.

'The Little Prince' is the first feature film adaptation of the popular 1943 French novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It has been directed by the Oscar nominated Mark Osborne ('Kung Fu Panda', 'Dropping Out'), alongside co-writers Irena Brignull ('The Boxtrolls') and Bob Persichetti. The animated fantasy is scheduled for release later this year.
