What Parents Need to Know
About The Little Prince
Parents need to know that this true and tender adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's fable will not appeal to young children, who may seem to be the target audience based on the age of the young star. Indeed, the themes in this film (the little prince dies at the end by snakebite) will leave some children disturbed. Only older children, aged 9 and up, who are in the mood for a slow and tender film are recommended to see it. This is a musical parable that adults may enjoy more than children, but older kids who don't find it too schmaltzy may be intrigued and moved--not, however, by the music!
