The Little Prince Movie 2015 Excites Book Readers, Netizens
Here are some of the reactions posted to social media channels about The Little Prince movie 2015:
"This is just another reason to start loving 2015 :) <3 I'm happier than the fox sitting next to the Little Prince on the wheat fields being tamed," writes user @nofacekim on YouTube.
"Congratulations to the whole crew who worked on Le Petit Prince! Very excited to see this!!!!" Twitter user @kidkoala shouted out.
"This trailer, all of it, the stop motion parts and the music make me so happy! It made my day. Thank you!" Facebook user Ana Markozashvili wrote on the Le Petit Prince Facebook page.
The Little Prince is believed to have been inspired by the series of ordeals that Antoine de Saint-Exupéry had gone through during the time of the Second World War. The book is about a child alien who meets a distressed pilot on Earth.
Through life metaphors and poetic images, the author, who had also illustrated his story, moved (and continues to move) millions of readers across the world.
The Little Prince movie trailer shows a diligent young girl, whose days and nights are all about Math, studies and homework. This girl is all about "serious matters." One night, a paper plane crashes into the book she's reading.
Startled, the little girl looks into the direction from which the plane has flown. Having heard nothing, she opens up the paper plane and sees some handwritten words in what seems to be a journal page. It has an illustration of a young boy surrounded by what looks like small volcanoes. She is clearly intrigued. She is about to read everything when an old man yells a friendly greeting from across her window.
The music accompanying the trailer is Lily Allen's "Somewhere Only We Know." The Little Prince movie will run in cinemas from Oct. 7, 2015.
