The Little Prince

(Mark Osborne/2015/France)

A modern retelling of Antoine de Saint Exupérys charming book that focuses on a young girl’s distractions from her mother’s pressure to do well. That distraction being the tales told by her old aviator neighbour, the books original narrator. The animation is brilliant cutting from CGI to stop animation for the tales and while twisting and expanding the plot of the original it stays wholly faithful to the spirit of wonder and adventure of the book. It’s a delight in short and very much to be enjoyed by young and old in equal measure.

(3.5/5)
