Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe stop-motion scenes in the desert were mosty created using paper, even the Little Prince was made out of paper clay.
- GoofsWhen the Little Girl claps for the first time "The Conceited Man" took kudos by taking his hat off with his "right hand" but next time while holding The Little Girl with "left hand" he drops her and took kudos with his "left hand" although his "right hand" was free.
- Quotes
The Little Prince: it is only with heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
- Crazy creditsOne of few movies where the end credits scroll downwards (instead of upwards), so that the title of each department is at the bottom of the list of people in that department.

I have seen a lot of films, done a lot of reviews and thought I had seen it all.
I was wrong.
First, I had not read the book prior to seeing this film nor had I seen the earlier screen version.
No matter. I was transfixed and stunned. I was still sitting there when the final credits rolled, which is really a feat because the credits roll for 10 minutes after the word FIN (THE END) rolls. (If you miss the credits, you miss the TURN AROUND song which itself could be highlight of one of the most incredible music scores in one of the most incredible movies ever).
When computers were first being married to animation -- a marriage made in heaven I think -- I recall an interview with a senior animator who confided that when the day came that they could get the "eyes" right, they would have reached the pinnacle of their craft.
That day has arrived. This movie is the herald.
Watching the eyes in this film, I felt as though I was watching real people. Does that make me sound daft? I hope not. There is one scene where the little girl watches the Aviator go to the hospital in the rain. She is at the same time transfixed with sadness and soaking wet. The animation made both conditions "real" at the same time. I don't know how. But it did.
Jeff Bridges, a brilliant actor with a record longer than your arm, gives the "voice" performance of his career here, and Rachael McAdams, former Femme Fatale, former "against type" actress (TRUE DETECTIVE) ditto.
Running out of superlatives, something I seldom do, so I will stop here.
See it. Don't argue. Just see it.
