The Little Prince's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
The book is so counter to our contemporary narrative demands that liberties would need to be taken for a movie version, and for the most part Osborne takes the right liberties, ending up with an extremely beautiful, very charming, thematically rich take that?s sure to be one of the better animated movies this year.
Hitfix
There is a faith that the story and characters will keep the audience engaged, even if there isn?t a bright and shiny thing to distract them in a every single scene.
Variety
A respectful, lovingly reimagined take on Antoine de Saint-Exupery?s classic 1943 tale, which adds all manner of narrative bells and whistles to the author?s slender, lyrical story of friendship between a pilot and a mysterious extraterrestrial voyager, but stays true to its timeless depiction of childhood wonderment at odds with grown-up disillusionment.
Screen Daily
A paean to the importance of retaining one's childlike enthusiasm, the animated 'The Little Prince' is itself a charmingly innocent film, lacking some of the storytelling and design sophistication of its Pixar and Dreamworks competitors but nonetheless delivering a sweet, likeable tale.
The Guardian
This is a very good-looking film that represents a brave attempt to do justice to a very popular book; it manages it, just.
Le Monde
Director of 'Kung Fu Panda' hesitate between adaptation and variations of Saint-Exupéry's book with the risk to distract viewers of all ages.
