The Little Prince

The animated adventures of a young interplanetary traveler. Based on the classic children's novel.

The Little Prince (2010-2016) is a French animated family series created for France 3, adapted from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic children's novel. Following a young prince who travels between planets and worlds, the show centers on his curiosity and his encounters with memorable characters, voiced by Gabriel Bismuth-Bienaimé as the Prince, Franck Capillery as the Fox, Marie Gillain as the Rose, and Guillaume Gallienne as the Snake. Each episode is a self-contained, brief adventure in which the Prince meets a new companion or puzzle and learns something about friendship, loyalty, and the strange ways adults see the world. Rendered in three-dimensional computer animation, the series runs across two seasons and seventy-eight episodes of roughly twenty-five minutes each. Its tone is gentle, whimsical, and warm, with a quiet undercurrent of wistful reflection that suits young viewers and the adults who grew up with the book. Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Adventure Time, and Pingu will find similar gentle wonder and moral curiosity here, in a cozy, child-friendly register.

Audiences rate the series as mixed but generally warm, with its faithful adaptation of the classic novel's gentle philosophy drawing the most positive response.
