Magical New International Trailer for THE LITTLE PRINCE
We have a wonderful new international trailer for the animated feature film adaptation of The Little Prince. It's based on the book by the French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
The movie was directed by Kung Fu Panda helmer Mark Osborne, who used a mix of CG and stop-motion animation to bring the story to life. As you'll see in the trailer, it looks amazing. Since the book that the film is based on is really short they had to stretch it out, so they made some additions.
The movie centers around the story of a young girl with an overachieving mother whose new next door neighbor is an old aviator. He recounts to her his tale of crashing in a desert and meeting a boy from a distant planet.
The Little Prince stars Riley Osborne as the Prince, Marion Cotillard as The Rose, Rachel McAdams as The Mother, James Franco as The Fox, Jeff Bridges as The Aviator, Benicio del Toroas The Snake, Ricky Gervais as The Conceited Man, Paul Giamatti as The Teacher, Albert Brooks as Businessman, Bud Cort as The King, and Mackenzie Foy as The Girl.
The film is set to have a special screening at the Cannes Film Festival next month. It will then be released in France on October 7th, 2015. No US or UK release date has been announced yet.
