Es tan interesante ver la historia nuevamente a través de la vida de un niña cuya madre no deja que sea realmente un niña! La animación stop motion tiene las mejores escenas Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/25 Full Review Jay W The Little Prince is a classic story that has been retold many times. If you search up the name "Little Prince" on IMDb you are going to find over 50 different adaptations of the title. In 2015 alone, there were 3 different "Little Prince" movies. But the question is how does this one hold up. I will say the Little Prince part of the story is handed very well. It is very creatively done and very well animated. Sadly St. Exupery's story gets less screen time than the other more boring story that is in this movie. Yes "the Little Prince" in this adaptation spends most of its time as a story within a story. The main story, what the movie spends most of its time on, is about that framing. Think of it like "The Princess Bride" if the story of sick Fred Savage listening to the story took up 70% of the runtime. That framing story is about a determined little girl and her overbearing mother. The mother really wants the girl to get into this illustrious private school, study hard and have a successful life. The mother is overworked and doesn't have the time to spend with her daughter. The girl soon realizes that she wants more than just studying, she wants to play, explore and do other kids stuff before growing up. Will she learn the value of hard work and study, or will she learn the importance of "being a kid"? It's all pretty basic kids movie, parents don't spend enough time with the kids, kids need to enjoy being kids type of stuff. The daughter makes unexpected friend in the elderly neighbor, "the aviator", and it is through his story-telling that we get "the Little Prince" part of the movie. Jeff Bridges does a great job in the role, he has a great wise albeit somewhat senile old man voice. The girl is also great, it is when the other celebrities jump in that the voice cast falls a bit flat. When the movie shifts animation styles and gets to the Little Prince portion of the story, it is great. It is creative, beautiful and thought-provoking. And the music just lifts everything to a higher level. It is just a shame that we have to sit through so much standard kids' movie junk to get there. Not that the kids' movie section is all that bad, it's just dull and unoriginal. It must be proof that I have forgotten my own Little Prince of life because I find the friendship between old man Bridges and 8 year-old gold more problematic than charming. And I find myself siding with the mom, the girl needs to study and prepare for the future. When the movie is good, it is really good, sadly the bad outweighs the good in this instance. I was just hoping that the Little Prince would have been a Bigger part of this story.
