Taken as one piece of art, as one beautiful, self-sustaining creation, this Little Prince is a thing of beauty.

The actual story it's telling becomes such a footnote in this pat-itself-on-the-back, self-congratulatory thing going on and on about "here's the story of the Little Prince, wasn't it a GREAT story? Weren't we brilliant for sharing that story with you?"

3.5/4

So few animated films try anything outside of the realm of normalcy; fortunately, Osborne's film realizes normalcy is, well, boring.

The beauty of the images of the Saint-Exupéry story and the music composed by Hans Zimmer make it very worthwhile. [Full Review in Spanish]

I don’t even know where to begin. I watched The Little Prince again after so many years, and it felt like I found a missing piece of myself. This movie isn’t just something you watch, it’s something you feel. It gently reminds you of who you were before the world became too loud, too fast, and too heavy. It made me realize how much I’ve grown, how much I’ve lost, and how much of myself is still there… waiting. I found myself crying, not just because it was sad, but because it was comforting. It felt like being understood without needing to explain anything. Like meeting your younger self again and realizing they never really left. It’s rare to find a film that can touch your heart this deeply, to make you feel pain, warmth, nostalgia, and hope all at once. This movie didn’t just tell a story. It reminded me to live again, to dream again, and to slowly find my way back to myself. And I will carry this feeling with me for a long time.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

De lo mejor de lo mejor, la pelicula tiene varias y hermosas animaciones, claro que la principal no es taaan buena por que estamos hablando de una pelicula francesa y de no mucho presupuesto, pero eso no le quita NADA, le da un hermosisimo final al libro original, cosa que pocos productos logran sastisfacer, la musicalizacion es de lo mejor de la peli, la adoro.

What a beautiful film reminding us how important it is to act like a kid every once in a while and not be so serious all the time. Or else you might just waste most of your life, a message that can be taken at most ages.
