Because of the book's huge following, it has been adapted at least a dozen times for television and film audiences. The latest in these adaptations is a full-length French animated feature that's scheduled to hit theaters in October next year. Directed by Mark Osborne (Kung Fu Panda, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie), The Little Prince will be distributed by Paramount Pictures France.
The film will be featuring the voices of Riley Osborne, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, James Franco, Jeff Bridges, Benicio del Toro, Ricky Gervais, and Paul Giamatti.
Watch the international trailer for The Little Prince below. If you are wondering about the song featured in the trailer, it's Somewhere Only We Know by Lily Allen. It's her cover version of an original song of the same title by the English rock band Keane.
Here are a couple of stills from the upcoming animated film:
