Based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's 1943 novel, the film follows a young girl living in a rigid, highly codified world whose everyday life is turned upside down when she meets a veteran aviator. He then tells her the story of the Little Prince, opening the door to a tale that blends fantasy, childhood, and poetry.
To adapt this literary classic, Mark Osborne blends computer animation with stop-motion sequences. This switch between techniques helps distinguish the girl's contemporary world from the passages drawn directly from the book's watercolor illustrations.
A project launched by French producers Dimitri Rassam and Aton Soumache, The Little Prince required nearly nine years of development. The film also features in its French version the voices of Florence Foresti, Laurent Lafitte, Marion Cotillard, Vincent Cassel and Guillaume Gallienne.
Presented out of competition at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, the feature went on to win the César for Best Animated Film in 2016.
