Review of The Little Prince (2015) by Carlos T — 19 Jan 2016

Admittedly, the main story arc is unnecessary as Antoine de Saint-Exupà (C)ry's original classic is already most beautiful in every way. However, this does not mean it made The Little Prince any less moving than I had anticipated.

I was originally quite hesitant to see this with Mark Osborne serving as an executive on this, having never liked Kung Fu Panda one bit and The Little Prince being a favourite story of mine. To my delight however, Osborne recreates a story which is both relevant to the modern age and is very entertaining.

Despite a rather confusing third act, the conclusion was deeply moving and emphasised the message of "what's essential is invisible to the eye". The animation is gorgeous throughout employing a very interesting stop-motion technique which conveys the spirit of The Little Prince very well!

I can't say more about this film without spooling it so all I'll say is this is definitely worth checking out!
