Watch: Spellbinding Full Trailer For THE LITTLE PRINCE
I've somehow never even heard of The Little Prince before, but this new trailer for Paramount Pictures' upcoming film adaptation makes me want to read the book immediately. It looks like an enchanting, magical story that could easily end up being one of the best films of the year. The blending of animation styles looks wonderful, and it appears to have all of the heart and emotion normally only found in Pixar movies. If I had to guess right now based only on what I've seen so far, I'd say I'm going to like this film better than Pixar's 2016 movie Finding Dory.
And check out this awesome voice cast: 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 Toro as 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 Little Girl. I'm very, very excited to see how this turns out.
The Little Prince apparently already opened in France this summer, but it will hit U.S. theaters on March 18th, 2016.
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 her own imagination — and 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 what’s truly essential can only be seen with the heart.
