A pilot is testing a new plane. He crashes in the desert. He bemoans losing his love for drawing. He then meets The Little Prince.
This seems to be the first English adaptation of this literary classic. I read the story in French during high school. I didn't understand any of the themes at the time. I just thought that it's imaginative nonsense. Of course, it's more interesting to understand it as an adult. This film is still a bit of a mess, but the story is somewhat random. I do wish they hold the epic visuals a bit longer. The desert could be more epic. The kid looks the part. I wouldn't mind if he's better actor, but he's so young. The songs are a mixed bag. I like some of them. None of them are that catchy. Bob Fosse takes a turn dancing as the Snake. Another recognizable face is Gene Wilder who plays The Fox. This is an interesting stab at the material.
