Plot: Stanley Donen directed this lugubrious musical fantasy based on the classic Antoine de Saint-Exupery children's parable, featuring a musical score by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe -- their first film score since Gigi. The simple story concerns a French aviator (Richard Kiley) who crashes his airplane in the middle of the Sahara desert and comes upon a young blonde prince (Steven Warner) from another planet. The Little Prince tells the pilot that he is inspecting the universe and stays in the desert long enough to convey to the pilot his impressions of the earth and stories of other planets he has visited. In a supporting role as a serpent that the Little Prince met amongst his travels in the universe, Bob Fosse stops the show with a slithery dance routine. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

There's different videos of the Little Prince but this one by far is the better of them all. I enjoyed it and so did my grandchildren. It's worth seeing if you haven't done so by now.

Cute Film... some details differ from the book
Added 7/12/2009

I bought the movie because I love this book and use it as supplemental reading material for my seventh graders. There are so many literary elements I could teach with this book/movie such as plot, character traits, symbolism, theme. The kids find this book amusing and generally enjoy it. The movie portrays the prince exactly as I thought. The film is musical, which I didn't expect, but still enjoy. Unfortunately, some of the characters on the other planets were totally different from that of the book. Overall, it's a good buy to compliment the book!

Read the book, Skip this movie!
Added 6/10/2009

The Little Prince was my favorite book as a little kid, and I still love it to this day. And though this film certainly tries its best to do justice to the book, it fails horribly. I hated this movie. Hated it. It is, for some reason, a musical, and the songs are trite and boring. The acting is uninspired, and the eponymous Little Prince is irritating and difficult to understand through his lispy British accent. The film is all-around tacky and dated. Read the book instead!!!

Great Movie
Added 1/6/2009

I bought this movie for my son. He loves the movie. The movie got here relatively quickly and he enjoyed it. The movie brings to life the book that it is based on. The movie has great actors, and the boy who plays the little prince does an unbelievable job. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

Massive disappointment
Added 12/27/2008

If you are a fan of the charming St-Exupery novel, avoid this! Many of the characters are obnoxious at best. For instance, the rose, who is charming and vulnerable in the novel, comes across as a high maintenance hooker in the movie. Please! A massive disappointment to our whole family, adults and children alike.
