8/10
in the end slightly disappointing

Of course this movie must be special. Anyone who uses the book "the little prince" for a movie must have something great in mind. Anything else is a total insult to one of the very best books in history

This movie manages to go in-between. In the first hour or so I wanted to get up and applaud every 10min. It was stunning and great. The combination of animation and stop-motion worked perfectly. The contrast boring modern time and fantasy well pictured. The book was used well as carrier of the movie...

And then the old man was brought to the hospital... and it was the movie that died. The search for the little prince was ridiculous, why did we need a chase and "happy" ending? Why not put more attention to the different planets the little prince visits in the book instead? It was all just touched to make space for the ending. Why not make an ending that worked out the relation little girl/old man better.

Yes the movie is worthwhile, The first hour is stunning, but the 2nd part makes you leave the theater somewhat disappointed
