The Little Prince Official Trailer 

I like the trailer, but not the actual movie, which I don't think is
true to the spirit of the original.

Quotes : 

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” 
― Antoine de Saint-ExupéryThe Little Prince

“It is the time you have spent on your rose that makes your rose so important” 

Enjoy !!!!!
