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

Council of Geeks

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?"

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 3.5/4

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 remember this movie on Netflix, I just did not even know what it's called then 20 years later, and I was scrolling around on YouTube shorts. I hear this song and it was from that movie from Netflix

Can't express my feelings for this movie. It's phenomenal. I remember watching it for the first time and it's really one of those movies where it's only perfect when you watch it without knowing what you're watching. It has all the right qualities for a perfect movie. It's breathtaking. I always recommend this movie when I get asked a good animated movie. It's for all ages as this is about growing up and forgetting things. I love this movie and I will definitely recommend to watch it without any spoilers.

Greatness of Adaptation is defined by the opening and ending music. Suis-Moi ft. Camille.
