This film is rather ambitious for a "kids" movie and I hope with films like this and Inside Out this will become the new normal for the animated genre. However this film does not quite meet its ambitions. It suffers from a very confusingThis film is rather ambitious for a "kids" movie and I hope with films like this and Inside Out this will become the new normal for the animated genre. However this film does not quite meet its ambitions. It suffers from a very confusing first act which doesn't correct itself as time goes on. My biggest problem where the characters in the film. The characters seemed to take actions based on what was convenient to the plot rather than what makes sense to the character. I've also never read the book but it feels like there were two stories kind of crammed together. It didn't work nearly as well as it could have.… Expand

I love animation but this film really missed the mark for me. It is beautifully filmed and represents the finest stop motion I have seen, but the film itself was boring and confusing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me clear I loved most of this movie. The Little Prince is one of my favorite childhood books. The movie has great animation, and adapts the book perfectly with some original characters that help to deliver this message. I found myself incredibly satisfied by the end of the story. That is to say, the end of the book. Then I realized there's still half an hour left. This is where the movie's plot completely and utterly derails. Without spoiling anything, this is where the movie strays from the source material, and while I would commend the writers for trying their own adaptation, this finale isn't just stupid, it isn't just pointless, it isn't just disconnected from the entire plot, but I actually found it offensive as a childhood fan of the book. Going slightly more in detail, which will require some spoiling, the boss (you know, that guy who got a single paragraph of dialogue in the book and a minute of screen time at this point?) becomes a last minute villain, and we see the prince as an adult who has left his childish ways behind. So basically, he becomes the direct opposite of everything he stood for, in the literal plot and in the message the movie tries to convey. I could go on, but I could sum up my and every other fan of the book's hatred for this finale in three words: the flower dies. I really don't think you can possibly screw up the message of any book ever written more than that single scene does. My suggestion is watch the first hour, because it's really good, a solid 8.5/10 for me. But whatever you do, that last half hour is to be avoided at all costs.… Expand

For a film that calls it's self "The Little Prince" it has very little to actually do with the beloved stories! No this is classic bait and switch with a odd comming of age story and with bits and peices of the original story trown in.

Grazie per avermi narrato la storia 2 volte all'interno del film.

Avevano lì, a portata di mano, un ottimo prodotto che non hanno sfruttato, ma ci hanno costruito attorno la storia più blanda possibile, con i personaggi più blandi possibili.Grazie per avermi narrato la storia 2 volte all'interno del film.

Consigliato? Nì.… Expand
