The Little Prince streaming

2015 Movie France Adventure, Family, Comedy, Animation, Fantasy 108 min Ages 6+
By: Mark Osborne With: James Franco, Jeff Bridges, Bud Cort, Riley Osborne, Marion Cotillard

At the heart of it all is The Little Girl, who’s being prepared by her mother for the very grown-up world in which they live – only to be interrupted by her eccentric, kind-hearted neighbor, The Aviator. The Aviator introduces his new friend to an extraordinary world where anything is possible. A world that he himself was initiated into long ago by The Little Prince. It’s here that The Little Girl’s magical and emotional journey into the universe of The Little Prince begins. And it’s where The Little Girl rediscovers her childhood and learns that ultimately, it’s human connections that matter most, and that it is only with heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. The first-ever animated feature film adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s iconic masterpiece.
