The Little Prince (1974) dir. Stanley Donen ↳ Based on the novella written and illustrated by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: Le Petit Prince (1943).

11/5/22

This is such an odd little movie, but it’s actually one I quite enjoyed! The animation sequences are lovely, and it really commits to it’s overall weirdness and whimsy. It’s strange, and not a movie for everyone, but it’s also a pretty delightful way to spend 90 minutes if you’re prepared to lean into it. Plus! Gene Wilder! 7/10.

The Little Prince

With Steven Warner in Stanley Donen’s The Little Prince (1974).

Alan J. Lerner and Frederick (Fritz) Loewe teamed on some of the great musicals such as Paint Your Wagon, Gigi, Camelot and My Fair Lady. Not as well known but marvelous nonetheless is The Little Prince (1974.) It is also notable for featuring the great Bob Fosse singing and dancing to his own choreography.
