action

A little curious girl lives with her single mother in a very uniform and joyless world that appears to have been created on the drawing board and is very strictly geared to the interests of the economy, especially labor productivity. Her mother is also a cool, calculating businesswoman who hardly has time for her daughter, but who has meticulously planned her life with the help of a so-called life plan, which mainly consists of tasks that are supposed to prepare her for a strict elite school. The girl has a tremendous amount of work to do every day.

After moving, she befriends the neighbor, an old man who used to be a pilot. He lives in a somewhat untidy but cozy old house within the otherwise monotonous new housing estate and is shunned and despised there because of its unconventionality. He tells her the story of the little prince he once met after crashing in the desert. In this way the girl plunges into the universe from the narrative; and the world of the little prince, which was originally located mainly in the desert and in space, finally becomes visible in the course of the plot in its everyday world: it now meets at home with the domineering, self-loving, greedy and for the really important things in life blind guys from the asteroids, and finally even the little prince himself, who gets by more badly than well working on a grueling janitorial position. In the end she successfully defends herself with him against the rule of the lousy characters and fights for a life in which she can be a child again.

criticism

The little prince was generally received very positively by critics. The film service ruled that Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's stories would permeate the present-day plot and plead that “childhood is not obliterated by social constraints”. The “idiosyncratic fairy tale adaptation” combines “innovative 3D animation with stop-trick processes, whereby the 'American touch' gives the staging of the magical adaptation an operatic swing”.

Awards
