Opening August 5 in select theaters and on Netflix, The Little Prince is an adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s transcendent tale of adventure, love, and family.

As he weaves the tale of “the little prince,” the girl is caught up in this completely new universe, and suddenly the stars shine ever so bright in her life and in her boundless imagination.
