I think I finally realized what’s always bothered me about the 2015 animated feature adaptation of the Little Prince.

Overall I thought the movie itself was fine and I appreciated how the writers tried to take their own creative liberties by spinning a new storyline to follow along the original tale. Plus the way the animated the picture book itself was just gorgeous, and I almost wish they just kept to that style for the entire movie. But I think along the way, some wires got crossed about what the original message of the story was.

The thing that always struck out to me about the original novel was just how ruthless Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was towards adults. Like, that dude did not cut grownups any slack at all. They’re all just foolish caricatures of themselves who don’t really understand how the world works in his mind. The Little Prince is a children’s story, but it was also always about teaching adults that there’s a thing or two they could learn from little kids if they just stopped and listened.  

That’s what the 1974 version got right. The film is definitely rough around the edges but manages to capture that nostalgia factor. But more importantly, it really emphasizes how the Prince really is just a kid. The animated version treated him more like a fantastical alien from a fairytale. The Prince is wise and has a very deep understanding and philosophy on life— the only thing he can’t understand are grownups because they hardly seem to understand their way of thinking themselves. That’s why he resonates so deeply with the Aviator because the Aviator is the only adult who’s willing to learn from the Prince as a child.

The 2015 version’s way of tying the story with the plot of the Girl and her Mother misses the point entirely. It focuses more on telling kids on how important it is to enjoy their childhood and just act like kids. It’s a good message by itself but for an adaptation for this book, it’s weak. Because again, the lesson to be learned from the Little Prince is for adults, not kids. Adults are the ones who need to understand why children are so important. This was never a story about growing up, it was about learning how to be a kid again which was why it was so important that the narrator was a grown man who has forgotten about the joys of youth and is reminded about that with his interaction with the Prince.

I found myself humming the song this afternoon, then I went to see this take, and I did see it on repeat over and over hundreds of times. What's the magic? How is so great?

I like The Little Prince, one day I had this idea for a painful AU with Lucas as the pilot/aviator and Claus as the Little Prince. I'm also a big fan of The Little Prince (1974) movie, which is also a musical, the songs give me all the feelings and they're too powerful if I combine them with this au o(-(

Do you think the general design for Crowley in the TV show took some inspiration from Bob Fosse in The Little Prince 1974? His character is literally a snake.

The way he moves, his demenor. He even sings about being God's "Fallen old chump."

Hello, Love, Goodbye

After Gene Wilder in “The Little Prince” (1974)

I.

My heart has loved yours in every shade of November: Sanguine streaks on ruddy cheeks  From sharp incisors that cored my apple-heavy heart and spit out the ruby-studded seeds – Death had never tasted so sweet.

The russet crunch of autumn in your hair And the taste of sickening saccharine despair Nestled upon your cupid’s bow, Secrets for only me to know. And folded into shades of reddened lips, Hidden in each copper-stained kiss, Susurrate to my soul, the woes of you and I  That suffocate my senses in soft staccato sighs. 

II.

Your sense of self-preservation disarmed me.

I am penning a Shakespearean tragedy: Would you stand beside me If I clenched sonnets between my teeth Instead of huntress wiles And deep-seated denial, Softening each lie with cherry flavor Enough for you to savor The comfortable pretense of sweet relief.

Come walk me through the steps I shouldn’t take. Help me to see This forest for its trees And tame this wild heart before it breaks. 

Hold me close and mourn with me the extinction of our kind, The ones who feel too much and hurt too much, Who never seek and only hide. With your shaking, scraping  Sycamore limb embraces Held fast to the last season of us.

III.

It never mattered to me – sky or sea. My borrowed heart’s been bathed the same color blue That the heavens mixed just for me and you.

My gaze beheld the memory of autumn and the moss-cloaked oak tree You were fond of ever since you wasted your time on me And whenever wet sighs unfurl into cold air, You collect leaves like paint swatches for the perfect match to my hair.

Acorn threads in winter’s blue, Echoes of me that are unique to you.  A thousand autumns and a thousand winters All exist within the same sodden auburn fire As Osage hearts, icicle spears and the ashen ache of desire. 

IV.

The resplendent guild of Camelot That descended from treetops And left a gold dust trail beneath my feet, Withered with petrification from a need so bittersweet For sugared maple palms and fingers laced between friends Reminding me that all good things must come to an end.

The breath of a second was all that it took – Hello, love, goodbye –  For your heart to weep itself into a willow When I turned to go home,  Your winsome whippoorwill whisper pleading gently, “don’t go.”
