DVD Reviews of The Little Prince

DVD Review: the Little Prince
Summary: 5 Stars

There's different videos of the Little Prince but this one by far is the better of them all. I enjoyed it and so did my grandchildren. It's worth seeing if you haven't done so by now.

DVD Review: Cute Film... some details differ from the book
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought the movie because I love this book and use it as supplemental reading material for my seventh graders. There are so many literary elements I could teach with this book/movie such as plot, character traits, symbolism, theme. The kids find this book amusing and generally enjoy it. The movie portrays the prince exactly as I thought. The film is musical, which I didn't expect, but still enjoy. Unfortunately, some of the characters on the other planets were totally different from that of the book. Overall, it's a good buy to compliment the book!

DVD Review: Read the book, Skip this movie!
Summary: 2 Stars

The Little Prince was my favorite book as a little kid, and I still love it to this day. And though this film certainly tries its best to do justice to the book, it fails horribly. I hated this movie. Hated it. It is, for some reason, a musical, and the songs are trite and boring. The acting is uninspired, and the eponymous Little Prince is irritating and difficult to understand through his lispy British accent. The film is all-around tacky and dated. Read the book instead!!!

DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this movie for my son. He loves the movie. The movie got here relatively quickly and he enjoyed it. The movie brings to life the book that it is based on. The movie has great actors, and the boy who plays the little prince does an unbelievable job. I would recommend this movie to anyone.

DVD Review: Massive disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars

If you are a fan of the charming St-Exupery novel, avoid this! Many of the characters are obnoxious at best. For instance, the rose, who is charming and vulnerable in the novel, comes across as a high maintenance hooker in the movie. Please! A massive disappointment to our whole family, adults and children alike.

Description of The Little Prince

A wandering child from a faraway place comes upon a pilot who crashlanded in the Sahara.
Genre: Feature Film Family
Rating: G
Release Date: 6-APR-2004
Media Type: DVD
A pilot crash-lands in the Sahara desert, and is surprised to meet a tiny prince with a sword... but who doesn't know the story of the beloved book by Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry? The slim philosophical classic has delighted millions, and the 1974 musical of the book has its own charms. Scored by the estimable team of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe and directed by Stanley Donen, this is a tuneful piece of whimsy that's better in moments than it is overall. Two guest appearances energize the second half: Gene Wilder as a lonely fox, and the superbly slinky Bob Fosse as a salacious snake (Fosse choreographed his own number, a welcome touch of Cabaret amidst the whimsy). Some of the book's slight observations don't translate well to the literalness of the screen, but that won't matter to kids, who should be hooked from the very first "Draw me a sheep." --Robert Horton
