Good news: After the new animated version of the beloved book “The Little Prince” was pulled from release by Paramount earlier this year, it’s now set for an August 5 release on Netflix and in theaters.
In the film, the story of “The Little Prince” is told to a Little Girl (Mackenzie Foy) who’s been raised in a no-nonsense manner. When she meets her eccentric neighbor, The Aviator (Jeff Bridges), he tells her the story of his encounter with the otherworldly visitor, The Prince’s beloved rose, and the fox he tames on Earth, among other adventures.
The film also features the voice talents of Rachel McAdams, James Franco, Marion Cotillard, Benicio Del Toro, Ricky Gervais, Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti and Albert Brooks.
