My brother and I had the tradition where we would go onto Netflix and find beautiful looking movies that we had never heard of, and watch them together. That's how I've discovered some of my favorite movies, because not only are they masterpieces, but it gives me nostalgia from before he moved out. And seeing people review this hidden gems brings me such joy. Thank you. ❤️
Interesting also wow that intro....... i feel the same but sadly I'm at the bottom so my numbers matter more than my happiness more than ever.......... if I don't finally break past the youtube wall well I will die unhappy
Also known as: the book that saved my ass on polish final exam in primary school. It literally had answer or reference to every theme that I had to elaborate on. Friendship? Got in. Loneliness? Here it is. Meeting with fictional character? Hello there little prince that apparently crashed near my house!
@@ivanvalentin7713 right i think i read this book in elementary and in high school i even had to watch a live action lmao this book is part of the Quebec culture at this point
@@shanynacloutier8681when I was in elementary school I read a comic book series that was based on the little prince. It’s was like a series of adventures with the little prince and the fox I think. It’s been a while since I have read them.
i think it goes like this… why do you drink? to forget. to forget what? to forget that I’m ashamed of drinking. This shook me to my core when I first read it, having alcoholic family members, it gave me a new perspective. This book never fail to make me cry.
I got the book originally as a child from my deceased parents, one of them an alcoholic, that I will find it's charm before having it in literature in high school, I cried when I finished reading the book.
As much as I absolutely fucking hate my alcoholic and narcissistic father who caused me so much torture in my life, and I will always hate him and he doesn't deserve my forgiveness, but I've always felt sympathy for alcoholics, or addicts in general I've grown around drugs and alcohol and detest the use of them, but some of my greatest friends are stoners, and while I worry for them, I understand where they're coming from. They needed an escape, and while their escape may not be the best, it's the biggest hope they had at the time, and being humans, we gravitate towards hope and sources of hope. The reason religion exists is because humanity wanted a purpose The reason some people love each other is because it gives them purpose in life The reason someone has a career is because they need a purpose And the thing about hope is that it's as much of a drug as weed or alcohol, because you can fill someone with hope, and the moment it's taken away from them, they're bound to fall hard
As a French person, I can tell you how big this book is in France, it's like a classic that everybody has in their library. I reread it sometimes, and I cry every time
I remember a review that said this movie is not much of an adaptation of the little prince, but rather a movie about the action of reading the little prince. That's why this movie gave a "conclusion" to the origin book, because the girl read the book and imagined what happened to The prince. I love this movie so much, it feels like the proper way to adapt a story like The Little Prince, making it about the experience while also telling its own story that revolves around its source; the stop-motion it's just the nice ribbon on this perfect present
A close friend of mine has been wanting me to read this for forever, I've always put it off because I figured I wouldn't like it. Now I see how wrong I was, definitely interested in the story now!
It's both poignant and ironic that it took a video of someone you have a simple parasocial connection with to follow a recommendation of someone you have a genuine bond with, instead of at least trying to search about the book your friend recommended you, since the book is in great part about the bond we make with others. Seems like you really need to read it.
@@mariojorge68 eh, it's more of I haven't read anything since before graduating highschool and even before then I only got into certain types of books. I've flipped through the pages before when they gave me the book but I just kept telling myself I would read it when I had the chance to sit down for a couple hours and dedicate the time to read. I had basically forgotten about it until I saw this video pop up, it was super easy to click play and listen to the video while I went on about my work. (I was also interested in the video because I saw it was something my friend was interested in.) If it makes things any worse, I still haven't devoted any of my energy to looking for the book and actually reading it yet. So I'm definitely still a shitty person. Just now I know the plot to the movie and a vague understanding of what the book is about. P.S. Please don't try to analyze people's comments in social media and give them lectures about their relationships with people off of them. (I know it's ironic because now I'm doing basically the same thing, but this is a learning experience for both of us.) Next time just go with something like- "Sounds like that person really cares about you a lot and might be trying to tell you something, you should definitely read this when you get the chance!"
@@discountjesus6655 I didn't analyze your comment. I took it at complete face value. The time you wasted writing this massive wall of text justifying yourself and being hypocritical by culminating in a cheap and meaningless civility-fetish moralization attempt could have been spent actually trying to take the comment to heart. If you're willing to publish freely to the world something that shines a light into your failings and terrible attitudes, don't expect for everyone to sugarcoat their opinion on your behalf. I repeat: you got the same opinion twice, once from a close friend who values you and another a parasocial contact that doesn't know you exist. You valued the second one more. Consider what that says about yourself, and improve if you wish.
I subscribed to Pig because he’s an actual good TH-camr he hooks me in with his passion in each video. One’s that makes me laugh and others that make me think about things, but I never hated a single video he made, he shares his thoughts, life, and feelings. He’s a husband, a dad, and amazing guy, plus he has Shadow.
Tis was the first movie to ever make me cry. I remember my mom walking in when I was watching it and asking if I was okay. When I told her about it, she kept saying she wanted to watch it. Unfortunately, she never got the chance to but reliving this means a lot to me. Thank you Bionic, we all truly care for you
I don’t usually cry easily from movies, this movie made me cry, and then cry again, and if I remember correctly, I think I cried one last time at the end. I’m so happy others were moved as much as I was.
This is one of those movies where I cry about three times per watch. My childhood wasn't exactly like the little girls, but the main theme of being forced to grow up far too early was a major thing for me. It's really damaging and now that I'm actually grown it feels like I've been robbed of something I'm not allowed to have at all anymore. I long to one day feel as free as the aviator.
I've been in a depression for a while this story definitely helped remind me it's possible to jog yourself out of the fog. Thanks for sharing this underappreciated story, Pig
The relationship between the little girl and the old man is so beautiful it made me cry so much. The story honestly has a special place in my heart and I've never related to a movie so much. Loved the video ❤️
The little prince was the first book I read alone, it was so magical and with such a strong message, mixing real life with fantasy, everything. Also, the movie was so great that I cried during the movie, it was like I was inside that world. I Can't describe how I feel after seen this story. Ty Little prince~
Once upon a time, I was obsessed with this story, and once upon a time, I planned out a plane. My first ever blueprint came into existence thanks to The Little Prince, and it was because I was hellbent on finding him. I searched the stars for his asteroid, I reread the book countless times, I have all sorts of merchandise -- It was my everything. It made me feel not-so-alone, not-so-strange, and like I belonged somewhere. It understood my mind better than I did. Thank you for covering this life-changing masterpiece, as it certainly changed mine. I would ramble more about it but no one wants to hear that, this is a TH-cam comment section. Also, on the topic of this movie, where can I watch it if I may ask? I'm in the U.S. and it's no longer on Netflix. :(
Since it seems I’ve intrigued a wee audience, why not elaborate, eh? (Thank you for the kind messages as well. You all are the absolute best.) How it all began; I was in sixth grade, and scrolling Netflix so I can find a movie to fall asleep to. I then stumbled upon The Little Prince, and the whole concept and beautiful animation absolutely captivated me. I watched it, and grew utterly *obsessed.* Upon seeing the little girl’s efforts to find The Little Prince, I pondered it for a while. I thought it was outstanding. Then, I went to the mall with my old friends one day, and entered the bookstore, because I’m one of those people. They all groaned and moaned, but I had to browse! It’s who I am. Then, I found the book. I gasped, and it was the only thing I bought. I went straight for the counter and read it the rest of the mall trip. I quickly finished it and the last page captivated me the most. It hinted to The Little Prince being real. That was when my eyes lit up and I knew just what to do. Blueprints upon blueprints, I made a concept of a plane. I had (and still have!!) this wonderful teacher that helped me out. He was the music teacher at my middle school (he’s also the band director at my high school) and he had an uncle who built planes. Unfortunately, my visions never became a reality… however, it was fun while it lasted. I even had an aviator hat with goggles and the plush of Mr. Fox! Many of them, actually. Which didn’t come with tags, so my wee brain was under the impression he was real. I carried him on my shoulder everywhere I went. I’ve always been an oddball. My family and friends can and will confirm that. But it made me happy. So… in my humble opinion? That was *absolutely* worth the time and effort. Plus, I’m an inventor now. I have many blueprints of mainly automatons.
@@The-Vixenator-3000I used to believe that the little prince was real and out there, too...there was a german show for kids that retold the little prince's journey and added some elements and made the plot differrnt, but I was still obsessed with the idea of flying through the galaxy with the prince and fox to see different planets, I even begged my mom to sew me a costume and she did make me a cape similar to the little princes attire in that series, so I spent my days running around in our garden pretending I was flying. I guess I wanted to share that it's not just you who was infatuated with the little prince, it's such a magical story after all :)
This book saved my life on many occasions. It’s simplicity holds so much weight in my life. It keeps me in touch with myself. Really can’t express how much I value this book in my life.
I’m not a big emotional person, but this movie and book made me cry. Just the feeling of people constantly trying to make you do the things they see fit.
My mother got me this book when I was a kid, and I remember not really understanding parts of it. Now its one of my favorite stories, and I'm looking at my copy of the book on my shelf while i watch this. Great vid as always Pig
I took french immersion through k-12 (I'm canadian) and the little prince (le petit prince) was such an intense unit within my French class. My teacher during time we spent on it really got us to think about childhood and adulthood and what we missed and how we can bring back the creativity and curiosity that we had as children. I still remember how she read the book to us and by the end of the book she was a mess (in tears and couldnt fully finish, someone else had to finish the book). She gave us the assignment that was to make a fun game or toy and we got to play with them on the day it was due ( i make a bunch of costumes to play as the characters in the story). It's sad how I wasn't able to appreciate this book and it's message in high school. I hope more people will go read this book, the movie was great but the book (I think) hits harder.
And for those who love pictures to an incredible degree like me, there's a Graphic Novel version of The Little Prince available! If I recall correctly, there was also a cartographer in the book, and he told the prince that flowers aren't drawn on maps because they aren't long standing like mountains or oceans. I love this story very deeply, it's one of the reasons I choose to continue expressing wonder for the world around me and showed that just because you're grown up, doesn't mean you stop using your imagination.
My brother who passed away left me this book. It was given to him by my mother with a note inside about how her mother (my grandmother) had passed it to her. Thank you for this video my friend.
Ok I'm gonna be honnest, this story made me cry and this video too. My mom read the book to me a decade ago and it really is something that you don't forget. I recently faced the lost of someone so I'm a little sensitive on the death subject but this story is beautiful and I will always enjoy it.
finally someone talked about this masterpiece. i have cried so many times over this movie, it really helped me and and also destroyed me with its beautiful soundtrack.
I cannot explain how good this film is. If you haven’t seen it watch it now. If you have, watch it again and you will see the film differently, every time. There is so much packed in that you really need several takes to really sink in.
I was bullied at school and never really had any real friends, so this book really got to me when I was a child, still does. And to this day it's the only lecture I read and the only book I sometimes come back to. I remember crying on the fox scene each time I read it.
the story of the little prince is so beautiful in and of itself, im really glad that they managed to adapt it as a film so well. i thought this would be a pretty mediocre movie but it was so well done and it still affects me so much
I watched this movie first as a child and I didn't completely get it. The main thing that stuck out to me about it was how beautiful it was but nothing else from it hit me. But now that I've seen it again as a young adult it DESTROYED me. I've been struggling with my career and my art. I feel like I've lost the imagination I had as a kid and i miss it. I haven't been pursuing my art as much as i wish i was, partially from lack of inspiration and partially from lack of time because i have a fulltime job now. I'm an adult now so I'm worrying about money and expenses and where to take my career. So after watching this movie again I SOBBED. It told me so many things that I never knew I needed to hear. It's truly a beautiful movie
No matter the context, the little prince always makes me cry. it makes you realize just how much you have, and yet how much your missing. it makes me feel naïve for assuming things will get better if I simply "succeed more". I think we all want to succeed, but really the fear of loss and failure is what drives us to. the only escape from the harsh adult world we live in is to let go of the fear, to allow yourself to continue learning from your mistakes, that's how you got to where you are, so why not let it take you to where you want to go. I hope everybody has some takeaway from the book and movie, and I hope we can all implement the lessons learned into our everyday life.
I read this book in French class in high school. It honestly changed my life. I have to say it is a favourite of mine and a constant reminder to find the joy in everyday life. The fox to me is the best character and teaches a valuable lesson. The movie adaptation is a great modern take that always makes me tear up at the end. ❤
The Little Prince is one of my favorite stories! I read it in one of my high school French classes. It really did change me. Sometimes I can't describe how much this story means to me. "The Little Prince" taught me so many things about life, love, and the power of imagination. The story led me to think about my actions and to be responsible. It taught me that enjoying life and exploring the world is essential. Above all, I never forget to hold onto a child's ability to see magic and imagination in the world. I thank my high school French teacher for assigning this book to our French class. It definitely had and still has an impact on my life.
I watched it with my mentally disabled cousin. And I was really amazed that she actually understand the concept of dying with the help of that film. And I think it's important to watch that kind of stories with kids,because they could have a lot of questions and also they could see some things really diferent. It's nice to share it with each other :)
This is one of the first books I ever read, and it impacted me so much as a child that I still remember the story clearly. I remember being excited about this movie because I loved the book so much. However, I wasn’t expecting this movie to make me so emotional, but seeing as I had just lost my grandfather at the time, the aviator reminded me so much of him. The little prince will always hold a special place in my heart, and it will always be one of my favorites books.
As someone who read the book, I cried while listening half-heartedly to this review while drawing. Goddamit man, the damn sheep was inside the box all along.
I read the book when my older cousin gifted it to me as a child, she even left a note at the start about it being not just a children’s story. It wasnt until I reread it when I was a little bit older that I truly appreciated it and decided it’s my official “favorite book” (with tears in my eyes). Then much much later I found out there’s this movie, and it’s so beautiful. And when in Sky: children of the light I met the little prince I was so happy and delighted. Thank you so much for the video, I had tears in my eyes by the end. I should rewatch the movie sometime, and maybe make a little prince drawing (which I’ve daydreamed about for years but havent gotten around to it) and post it somewhere my cousin can see it
So far in all my life of watching movies, binge watching shows, playing games all with the heart wrenching stories… still the only piece of media to ever make me cry
When I first watched this movie, I was probably like 11 or 12 years old. But at that age I knew there was a message behind it but never knew what it was... I'm so thankful that I remembered this and reflected on it. Definitely so underrated.
Man, these reviews ALWAYS make me tear up - yet, for some reason I can't get enough of it. If you keep reviewing these amazing, heartfelt movies I'll have no choice but to keep coming back!
One quote from this book that really stuck with me, and I'm not entire sure why, is "And I guessed it even more fragile. It is necessary to protect the lamps: a gust of wind can extinguish them ..." I guess I connected it to my depression and happiness, how it can be so easily extinguished when I'm in a depressive episode because of how dim and fragile it is.
This year: My English college professor (Mr.Jeffery) gave me a wrapped up gift, that day was my last day of taking his class in my very first year in college. I waited till I got home, and it was this book ‘The Little Prince’. I read it every single night before bed till the very end. Best gift that I’ve never thought I would’ve needed until the last page of this book. It’s my favorite book. Mr.Jeffery is a great professor, very kind, and his class was never dull or boring, everyday I was looking forward to take his class in the morning. So receiving this gift? After finishing it? It is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I’ll cherish that.
I've never even seen the movie or read the book, yet your video itself made me tear up, and I hardly cry ever. I really need to read this, looks like it would change my life. Thanks.
This is the first time I've ever cried from one of your videos. My English teacher read us the little prince in 12th grade but I never really internalized the meaning until watching your video! I lost my father in 2017 to cancer and finishing high school and moving through college has been so hard without him, I've felt isolated. But that reminder that he's still with me forever just really hit. Thanks pig, I needed this one lol.
I discovered this story when I was going through the grind of my first post-grad school job, and it was such a balm for the soul to remember to keep the child and creativity inside of me alive. I hate when people sing the praises of being “essential” all the time, or being busy just for the sake of being busy. I value the time that I get to be creative and expressive and this story really reminds you to keep a playful spirit.
Today, for the first time, I cried out of hope, and desire for the world... thank you for making this video, it really means so much... I was so worn down and hopeless to the detriment of myself but this.... this made me feel the raw emotions I've never felt before.... thank you
I also really recommend you to watch marcel the shell with shoes on. The stop motion & storyline is so good and it’s really refreshing to watch. If anyone is going trough a hard time this will be the right movie ! Thank you for giving us another lovely movie review of yours.
We read this back in middle school and I forgot the majority of it for the longest time. Thank you for helping bring back our memories of it. It gives a beautiful message and we need more beauty like that with how gray the world feels nowadays
I knew of this story but never read the book or watched the movie. My husband and i are expecting our first kid very soon and after watching this its convinced me to get the book to read to them. Ive been so worried about this exact thing. I want my future kids to be ready and prepared for the world because its so hard but at the same time i want them to enjoy being little while they have the opportunity. This gave me a kind of peace of mind. Thank you.
My mom was the one that introduced me to the Little Prince. She would read the book when she was a little girl in Brazil. She still has her book till this day.
In school we were tasked with reading the book... year 8 of elementary... the last one... but i love it... especially as a artist... the art is beautiful... but the contents are the most important part... it changed me
So happy to see this movie covered and also to hear how helpful it was for you. My high school french class watched it since the story is originally in french and it resonated really hard with a bunch of creative kids who were at the point where public school really pushes college prep for "traditional" jobs (basically anything that isn't focused solely around creativity). As an artist who's currently working on going to school for animation seeing this beautiful story that combines such gorgeous stop motion with the very premise being about how the world is trying to push creativity out of you so you do an "essential" job instead just really helped push me to pursue my passions. Great video as always man, your content always keeps me coming back to watch and rewatch videos. (Also I was eating doritos during this so the sponsor bit caught me off guard lol)
I also believe that school hides the creativity of many subjects, the main victim being math. Like, I get so sad when I hear people call math uncreative or the polar opposite of art, just because school offers a very limited and grating experience of the subject. It's one of the most imaginative disciplines, and, if anything, it's art at its finest to my eyes.
this movie is literally my childhood and everytime i go back to it its still as good as i remembered, and it makes more sense as i grasp what the context i didnt have as a child is
The Little Prince is my favourite book and has been since I was young. I read it over and over again from the age of about seven. One bit I remember from the first time I read it was when I got to the part with the drunkard, and the narration says at one point that the little prince felt sorry for him and wanted to help him. I remember it because I felt the exact same way reading it as a naive child. I didn’t understand addiction or how and why people fall into it, I just knew I wanted to help this sad man.
I really needed this. For the longest time I wanted, my childlike sense of wonder to go away, but now I realize how important it really is and how much I love it. For context, I’m 18 and I’ve always been different from a lot of other kids and teens I’ve known. I always been happy, joyful, love colors and everything. Things that little kids love, and that made me different and for a long time I wished I knew how to make it not that way, but this is help me realize that that’s an important part of my life and I should hold onto it forever. Thank you pig none of your videos I’ve ever really touched me like this one has and keep making TH-cam even though this comment sunburn sad a lot of your videos have made me laugh over the years especially the ones with your characters and then never stop being your true self because a lot of people love and rely on you for happiness.
Since I was a kid we had multiple editions of the little prince. We had it in French, English, Slovak (my native language) we had a version about a little princess which was basically the story of a baby not yet born traversing through a panel house into which she'd be born, looking for her mom. When I was about nine I had the chance to go see Le petit prince ballet and when the movie came out I was scared to watch it. In fear of it not satisfying the standard for the storytelling I set for myself. But I watched with my mom and dad, leaning into my mom's side, her arm around my shoulders. Like we'd watch movies when I was little. I'm 19 now and I miss reading the story for the first time. And it was so much fun to watch the movie.
Fun fact my class met the director of the starting scene of the little prince when the man crashed his plane and meets the little prince 13:03 ! He showed us the progress of recording and showed us models it was so interesting!
I've been watching this movie since forever, since I was like, seven. I'm almost seventeen now, almost an adult. It makes me cry everything. Every time that music starts playing in the beginning, i get emotional. The line the fox says, "To me, you'll be unique in all the world. And to you, I'll shall be unique in all the world." Means so much to me, along with the "suicide" scene. As my favorite person and my best friend in the world is suicidal. And I can't imagine what would happen if they leave this world. The song "Equation (eng. Ver) in the film means a lot to me, too. As I relate deeply to the lyrics.
I absolutely adore this movie! I actually first watched this when I was fairly young with my brother and we both were very emotionally effected by its ending even though we hadn't fully understood the concept of what the movies deeper meaning was. It has now officially been 8 years since I have watched this movie, and re-visiting this film still gravely effects me now. But the only difference is I now can understand the deeper meaning and this movie comforts me in a way most can't. I honestly highly recommend this movie to any that feel as if growing up is a curse and that loosing people is just the cherry on top of it all. honestly if you are that person just know that growing up is a scary and amazing thing because even though your saying bye to your childhood you are not ending your story you are simply starting a new one by saying hello to a whole new life. One where you can choose to either be like the business man or you can be like the prince, and find your rose and learn to live with loss but don't fear nor hate it just accept and embrace it. ♡ Never forget that everyone goes through loss you are not alone ♡
I remember a show under the same title where the prince is the main character instead of the girl and i believe that the antagonist which is a snake that can change it's size at will is the "death" which is talked about in the movie
i feel like this is a story that gains more meaning as u get older. In elementary school, I did Kumon packets on this story. I didn't think much of it other than it was kinda goofy-- the line about the little prince living on a planet only slightly larger than itself stuck with me bc i thought that was such a weird and funny image. Middle school/ high school was the time I watched this movie. I thought it was cute and kinda sad toward the end. I understood it was about the loss of creativity but didn't think too deeply about it. Found it a little relatable as a person who likes to draw/ be creative. I believe it was last year/ early this year, the game: Sky Children of the Light collab with the Little Prince and it brought back memories. So i decided to seek out the original story. I watched an audio version on youtube and I really liked it. There was also a Little Prince documentary on Netflix. I watched that too. and then I bought the book. I'm in college now; that time of yer life when u gotta make a lotta important decisions. Growing up really do be tough but this story always reminds me that no matter where I go, I should never forget the things that are the most important to me and to never lose that sense of creativity and that curiosity about the world
I remember watching this movie when I was really little… I liked it more I think because I was a child. It really captures the whimsy of youth and the terror of becoming an adult.
My grandpa introduced me to this movie (and had me read the book afterwards), and it was not only a great bonding experience for us, but a fantastic story as well. A story that I needed to hear during a crucial point in my life, as I'd just graduated from college and had some fears about growing up in the real world. My grandpa just passed away last week, and while my heart's still broken, I know that I'll continue to cherish this story for the rest of my life. RIP, Grandpa. A lot of what I am now is because of you, and I'll always cherish the lessons you taught me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Few years ago I actually got a star for my birthday with a paper confirming it + the stars name. I found out you can buy someone a star for 50$. I was happy to have it cause I have a big passion for astronomy, but the idea of someone selling stars still blows my mind.
Thank you. I needed this. Im turning 20 in a couple weeks, lately ive been overthinking on how i dress, how i act, what hobbies i enjoy- are they too childish? Am i not woman enough? But i am ! Im a big kid at heart, forever. & thats okay
This man honestly needs more viewers. I tell a bunch of my friends about him. He's just doing what he loves and man that's just so refreshing. He's not trying to target the algorithm or taking shortcuts. He's working hard and it shows
I watched the movie a very very long time on Netflix, and it easily became one of my favorite movies on the platform when it was available. I was a lot younger and while I overlooked the relationship aspect I certainly resonated with the idea of creativity and throwing talent away in favor of pursuing more "useful" ambitions. The climax and ending felt so cathartic for me at the time that it moved me to tears. Come 2021, a game I played since launch for two years at the time called Sky: Children of the Light had a whole season dedicated to the story and it's still one of my favorites in the game's history. I plan on getting a copy of the book eventually as well :)
Beautiful video of a beautiful story. I cried. I lost my grandmother recently and I haven’t grieved because I haven’t wanted to let her go. There’s a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. That seems like what happened to you with this lovely story. Shine on, A. You’re too wonderful to let the world drag you down. ⭐️
Never seen or read it before and just hearing your take on the story made me tear up. Definitely watching this movie with the family and a box of tissues on the side. It might finally top “A.I.” on the list of movies that have always hit me hard emotionally
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I think its severely UNDERRATED and I would rewatch it countless of times, and this video is absolutely correct the movie/book is absolutely amazing and should be appreciated more.
I've been sick for last week or so with the flu and I been feeling horrible. Often times when I am sick, I can set my mind right and keep myself feeling better, but the longer it goes the more depressed I start to feel. this was the day for me, the feeling has been creeping up on my all day and I've been losing my power of my mind, in the shower i just stared at the wall with nothing in my head just the want to feel normal again. this video gave me a kickstart, I feel happier. Thank you BionicPIG you are amazing man
The part of the stars made me cry, because, ive lost a sibling before, and it hurts but when i heard “ill be among the stars” everytime its night i know their watching me, smiling at how far ive come.
My dog is suffering from a soft tissue tumor in one of his front legs. He is an 8 year old, 150-160lb English Mastiff. We would have to amputate, but he's too old and heavy to be able to use a prosthetic. On top of the fact everyone in my household can't be home to train and watch over his recovery. We are going to put him down soon so he doesn't suffer with the pain. I have seen the movie before a few years ago, but a part of the message was missed or lost to memory. Your video helped me gain a new perspective of the situation for him and myself. Thank you.
I don't remember a lot of things from my childhood, but one of my clearest memories is of one of the many many times that I stayed up when I was supposed to be sleeping just to reread this book, & within the first few pages I was already tearing up & by the end of the book I was be sobbing. I remember touching each word with my hand as I read it & stroking the pages gently as I absorbed each page to it's fullest. I was, & still am, a very fast reader & I took great pride in that as a child but reading The Little Prince I would force myself to slow down & truly appreciate each page. This book holds such a special place in my heart, as a child who was denied a childhood. It feels so dreamy & romantic & simultaneously so real & raw & is such an important story. 💛💛💛💛💛 "It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of tbr wheat fields."
very glad you discussed this movie. is so underrated and a must watch! i hope people will watch this movie bc it barely get enough attention. beautiful storytelling, animation and great use of metaphors.
This is one of few TH-cam videos to ever make me cry, and as soon as I finished I went to look in the comments to see if anyone else was the same. That was a bad idea because there are some amazing stories here too. I think I needed this
My parents bought me an audio cassette tape of the little prince, when I was small. I took it as a pretty story with a sad ending. I still loved to listen to it before sleep. Nothing deep, just a fairytale. But when I watched the movie (26), I cried my eyes out as it spoke to me. I went through the experiences the little girl had and saw so much of myself in her. I couldn't stop sobbing after it ended. Thank you pig for a beautiful breakdown of both the movie and the story itself.
After this video, I immediately took out my old pile of sketchbooks that I shoved in a dusty tote bag under the dark corners of my desk almost a year ago. When I first saw this movie, I was no different from the little girl. Practical, analytical, and pushed by my mother to become a scholar in a reputable school and maintain my grades. But I was also quite artistic and everytime I started drawing, it was like an addiction. I didn't want to make money out of my art, I just wanted to master it for myself and to be able to put out my imagination on paper. I wanted to be like Kim Jung Gi and other great sketch artists. There were a lot of times when I had to stop drawing to focus on surviving and putting my family's needs ahead of my desire to be creative, and that continued on 'til college. I'm in my final year now and watching this video on a whim made me want to relive the old highschool days when I could feel ambitious with my work without feeling too guilty about using my time for anything other than chores, academics, and worrying about a future carreer. I opened one dusty sketchbook page after another and most of the sketches were clearly for practice and not very good, but I found it so adorable. The tiny technical notes on how and where to improve, the experimental styles, the thumbnails and composition practice, the pure obvious passion of the old me at the time despite the art looking very amateurish now. Those were my stepping stones, and even in the tiniest frustrated scribbles I could only remember the happiness and the sense of accomplishment from making something that wasn't essential to anyone else but me. Maybe I'll take a look at this movie and book again, before I become a full fledged adult.
i have always had nostalgia for the little prince. called el principito in my country. and my dad read it to me in what i can genuenly remember bit by bit and the story, even thought i dont remember it too well besides de basics, brings a genuenine tear to my eye sometimes. i think that what makes the little prince transcend from good into something more is how it not only deals with heavy issues, but like you mentioned, does it through the lens of a little child. from the first time i heard my dad read the first page in his incredibely soothing tone, i knew that this was an amazing story. i was propably 3-5 at the time and i know i said it but holy shit did the story just stick close to my heart. Also, small detail in the final section of the movie, every character that before was in stop motion now is in pixar like animation. Showing how "essential" or more so "mature" they are now. And when the little prince goes back to his original form, hes a mix of both, because he is still mature, but has his child like wonder intact. Something we should all strive to be
Thank you for your time thank you for your effort. Thank you for your continued service here on TH-cam and in life. A father, a husband, a distant friend to strangers like myself. It doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you.
I'd love you to make a video on Klaus. It's my ABSOLUTE favourite Christmas movie of all time! But I don't hear many people talk about it. If anyone hasn't seen it yet please give it a shot, it's on Netflix you won't regret it
Like you, I didn't really enjoy the film-adaptation since I grew up with the book and felt like an "aged up" Prince kind of missed the point and watered down the story. However, after rewatching it and seeing the response from others, I admit that this was a great way to deliver the closure that the book lacked and also *introduced* the book for a whole new audience to enjoy. There's nothing bad there. With that said: I'm still INCREDIBLY salty that the film adaptation didn't turn out to be a My Girl/Bridge to Terabithia film to a younger generation.
Thank you for making these videos, they’re so interesting and well thought out. I get what it feels like to do stuff just for work and not because of your passion (I’ve recently started to draw because I need to, not because it’s what I love). Again, thank you so much, your videos inspire me!
We read this in my French class and finished up the unit by watching the movie! It’s one of my favorites and I swear it changed how I viewed certain aspects of myself and the world around me. Truly lovely.
This video and your last one made me cry. Thank you for being such a genuine person and showing how much you care about your family. It shows. Love you and I hope you have a great day. I always look forward to your videos
I remember this movie when I first watched it at school. I was intrigued to watch it again that it was luckily on Netflix, then I showed my parents with it and my mom used to use some songs from the soundtrack to keep the nursery asleep. She even still has the Minus+2 equation song as a ringtone when I message her. It really is an underrated gem and I’m glad that you are the one to talk about it!
I am so glad I found your video, so here's my story. The first time I read The Little Prince was in high school during Reading and Writing class. The topic was on European Literature, and the book's iconic interaction with the Little Prince and the Fox was written in our textbook. "What is essential is invisible to the eye." That line stuck with me so much that I decided to borrow a full copy of the book, and I eventually bought my own. And... wow, just... WOW. I fell in love with it, the story, the characters, the art, just everything about it. Not long after, I saw the movie, and the impact I felt the first time I read it hit me once more. So much subtle symbolism and life lessons, it expanded upon the book like what a good adaptation should be. The themes of childhood wonder, adult cynicism, and acceptance in this story will always be an important part of helping me grow as a better adult, and this video reminded me of that. So thank you, kind sir. I hope you're feeling better and have a truly essential life with your family. Today, years after, I still have my old copy of the book and a DVD copy of the movie, so I'm probably gonna reread & rewatch it again. The last time I read the book was as a bedtime story for my sister, so good times as well. Also, to anyone reading this, there's this novel/movie/anime called "Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai (I Want to Eat Your Pancreas)." The title doesn't sound desirable, but it's actually very wholesome/heartbreakingly devastating. The Little Prince book is an important part of the story, so I highly recommend watching/reading it as well. If you do so, be prepared for PAIN.
Pig, I dunno if you’ll see this, but you are the realest person on TH-cam. Over the last few months, you’ve become my favorite content creator. You’re videos have helped me out with my own struggles in creating things, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. You’re the man. I aspire to be someone just like you. Maybe someday I will put my creations out into the world with some success, and maybe you wouldn’t know it, but you would be a big reason as to why they’re out there. I hope I can inspire someone the way you inspired me. Keep killin it man. But only as long as it makes you happy.
When I was a child, my mother and my father both used to read "The Little Prince" to me almost every other week until I turned about 12 or 13(yeah, they did it for quite a while) and I loved it every time. And its been 7 years since I've heard the name "The Little Prince", till today, till this video, and holy hell did it open my eyes and heart yet again, the lessons of the story stuck with me for so long that I still had the ideologies of the fox, not exactly like the fox but close, like his quote "You can only see rightly with the heart, anything essential is invisible to the eye", I made something similar without realizing it, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but even the eye is blind to the beauty of what is imperfection". The story stuck with me so much that I still had the ideologies 7 years later but couldn't remember the name of where it came from. I love and cherish this story, and I haven't even seen the movie yet. "The Little Prince" is most definitely a must read, not only for children for lessons, but for adults to remind them of their beginnings and their faded child-like wonder so long ago, to return them back to their creative and naïve beginnings and to show them that that child-like view of the world is exactly what they needed and have been what they've been missing for so long. I needed this, thank you for reviewing this wonderful movie and book.
I grew up reading the little prince and I used to watch the old show on dvd I was so excited to watch the movie when it came out. It's such a sweet and deep concept all throughout its media sources.
I watched this when I was younger with my cousins. I remembered it fondly as a fun and visually appealing movie. Then the other day I was thinking about it, and what it actually means, and I started tearing up. Watching this review made me tear up again, just by how much you reminded me of its beauty. Thank you.
Oh my god, you just unlocked a childhood memory of me. I havent seen this movie in such a long time. edit: I just rewatched the movie before seeing this video, and damn, I'm struggling not to cry.
The first time I watched this movie I was 14. The first time I watched it I was jealous of the little girl bc of the structure her life had at the beginning. I wanted that stability and I wanted to know what I was doing. The second time I watched it I realized it was neglect and that growing up I experienced a different form of neglect, that neither were okay. This movie quite literally changed my life, I didn’t want the life my mom had, just working for a paycheck. I wanted to do something that I would enjoy, I didn’t want to loose my creativity or joy. I’m nearly 20 now, sometimes I forget that I’m working bc I enjoy my job. I’m still doing art and learning more creative outlets. I genuinely believe that I wouldn’t be here without this movie. I’ve never read the book so I think I’m going to go find it to read it to get a new experience with this story. This movie is so underrated, this is my first time ever seeing anyone talk about it
Genuinely, thank you. I had never heard of this beautiful film or book until now but, im so glad you're giving it recognition. This was a beautiful video made on a beautiful topic. Well done
I didnt realize the impact this had on me. I havent cried in so long and by the end of this I was sobbing. Even if I feel my parenets tried to give me a childhood full of creativity is was always leaning onto be useful. That on the first day of school I had these expectations stacked against me. As an adult now in college, its hard to be creative. You have all these logical things to worry about and adult problems. I long for the childlike wonder i had when I would be content in my own world, drawing and making stories. not having to worry if it looks ok or even the very real final exams. thank you for sharing this story, i needed it.
This video is wonderful. The story is amazing of course, but this narration and retelling and interpretation made me tear up in the end. Have my sub man you've hit me in the heart.
I read this as a kid and loved it then. It was so exciting and imaginative. I read it again as an adult and remember literally thinking that it was like a completely different story. Like my favorite line from the book "But I was too young to know how to love her" , as a kid I only got part of the meaning. Yet I enjoyed it all the same because the essential stuff, what makes the book so relatable and cozy, is invisible.

I got your back PIG.
Felt pretty called out when you brought up my smell, but I was in fact unshowered, so I'm gonna go fix that 🚶🏻♂💨
My brother and I had the tradition where we would go onto Netflix and find beautiful looking movies that we had never heard of, and watch them together. That's how I've discovered some of my favorite movies, because not only are they masterpieces, but it gives me nostalgia from before he moved out. And seeing people review this hidden gems brings me such joy. Thank you. ❤️
Interesting also wow that intro....... i feel the same but sadly I'm at the bottom so my numbers matter more than my happiness more than ever.......... if I don't finally break past the youtube wall well I will die unhappy
Also known as: the book that saved my ass on polish final exam in primary school. It literally had answer or reference to every theme that I had to elaborate on. Friendship? Got in. Loneliness? Here it is. Meeting with fictional character? Hello there little prince that apparently crashed near my house!
Bruh literally the same here. I would've gotten like 0% on essay part and the other parts if not for Mały Książe.
Same, its the Perfect book for that sort of things
I really enjoyed a comic based on it when I was little.
Same , that book contains more stuff then the entirety of Pan tadeusz
@@toastyideas2316 It doesn't have entire page about bigos though 😂
The Little Prince, Both the book and movie, are absolute gems. Greatly underappreciated.
And the play
But how can book be underappreciated if it is cult classic
The movie maybe. The book is even taught in schools, thats where I first read an adaptation of it
@@ivanvalentin7713 right i think i read this book in elementary and in high school i even had to watch a live action lmao this book is part of the Quebec culture at this point
@@shanynacloutier8681when I was in elementary school I read a comic book series that was based on the little prince. It’s was like a series of adventures with the little prince and the fox I think. It’s been a while since I have read them.
i think it goes like this…
why do you drink?
to forget.
to forget what?
to forget that I’m ashamed of drinking.
This shook me to my core when I first read it, having alcoholic family members, it gave me a new perspective.
This book never fail to make me cry.
Oh man I wish they put the drunkard and they lamplighter in the movie, kind of feels like the mom is the lamplighter in a way though.
@@meganbrown3776 THe mom and the dad for sure
I got the book originally as a child from my deceased parents, one of them an alcoholic, that I will find it's charm before having it in literature in high school, I cried when I finished reading the book.
As much as I absolutely fucking hate my alcoholic and narcissistic father who caused me so much torture in my life, and I will always hate him and he doesn't deserve my forgiveness, but I've always felt sympathy for alcoholics, or addicts in general
I've grown around drugs and alcohol and detest the use of them, but some of my greatest friends are stoners, and while I worry for them, I understand where they're coming from. They needed an escape, and while their escape may not be the best, it's the biggest hope they had at the time, and being humans, we gravitate towards hope and sources of hope.
The reason religion exists is because humanity wanted a purpose
The reason some people love each other is because it gives them purpose in life
The reason someone has a career is because they need a purpose
And the thing about hope is that it's as much of a drug as weed or alcohol, because you can fill someone with hope, and the moment it's taken away from them, they're bound to fall hard
The Little Prince is a traveler, because worlds ruled by adults are intolerable.
I love this movie and story so much. It makes me cry every time.
Just finished it and you're not wrong
I'm so happy this movie was made
I'm crying because of this VIDEO I can't imagine how the movie would do me
As a French person, I can tell you how big this book is in France, it's like a classic that everybody has in their library. I reread it sometimes, and I cry every time
did you know its second most translated book in the world? It's second only to the Bible
I think that book is in every country rn 😭
Its really popular in Mexico too, Its my fathers favorite book
I remember a review that said this movie is not much of an adaptation of the little prince, but rather a movie about the action of reading the little prince.
That's why this movie gave a "conclusion" to the origin book, because the girl read the book and imagined what happened to The prince.
I love this movie so much, it feels like the proper way to adapt a story like The Little Prince, making it about the experience while also telling its own story that revolves around its source; the stop-motion it's just the nice ribbon on this perfect present
A close friend of mine has been wanting me to read this for forever, I've always put it off because I figured I wouldn't like it. Now I see how wrong I was, definitely interested in the story now!
Also, I absolutely loved this video! I was starting to get all teary eyed by the end 😭
It's both poignant and ironic that it took a video of someone you have a simple parasocial connection with to follow a recommendation of someone you have a genuine bond with, instead of at least trying to search about the book your friend recommended you, since the book is in great part about the bond we make with others. Seems like you really need to read it.
@@mariojorge68 eh, it's more of I haven't read anything since before graduating highschool and even before then I only got into certain types of books. I've flipped through the pages before when they gave me the book but I just kept telling myself I would read it when I had the chance to sit down for a couple hours and dedicate the time to read. I had basically forgotten about it until I saw this video pop up, it was super easy to click play and listen to the video while I went on about my work. (I was also interested in the video because I saw it was something my friend was interested in.)
If it makes things any worse, I still haven't devoted any of my energy to looking for the book and actually reading it yet. So I'm definitely still a shitty person. Just now I know the plot to the movie and a vague understanding of what the book is about.
P.S. Please don't try to analyze people's comments in social media and give them lectures about their relationships with people off of them. (I know it's ironic because now I'm doing basically the same thing, but this is a learning experience for both of us.) Next time just go with something like- "Sounds like that person really cares about you a lot and might be trying to tell you something, you should definitely read this when you get the chance!"
@@discountjesus6655 I didn't analyze your comment. I took it at complete face value. The time you wasted writing this massive wall of text justifying yourself and being hypocritical by culminating in a cheap and meaningless civility-fetish moralization attempt could have been spent actually trying to take the comment to heart.
If you're willing to publish freely to the world something that shines a light into your failings and terrible attitudes, don't expect for everyone to sugarcoat their opinion on your behalf.
I repeat: you got the same opinion twice, once from a close friend who values you and another a parasocial contact that doesn't know you exist. You valued the second one more. Consider what that says about yourself, and improve if you wish.
@@mariojorge68 alright, nice talk professor
I subscribed to Pig because he’s an actual good TH-camr he hooks me in with his passion in each video. One’s that makes me laugh and others that make me think about things, but I never hated a single video he made, he shares his thoughts, life, and feelings. He’s a husband, a dad, and amazing guy, plus he has Shadow.
Yes!
I’m gonna be honest, I had no idea he was married, let alone a father
Tis was the first movie to ever make me cry. I remember my mom walking in when I was watching it and asking if I was okay. When I told her about it, she kept saying she wanted to watch it. Unfortunately, she never got the chance to but reliving this means a lot to me. Thank you Bionic, we all truly care for you
Haven u ever seen "I AM SAM" that made me cried more than anything I've ever seen
I don’t usually cry easily from movies, this movie made me cry, and then cry again, and if I remember correctly, I think I cried one last time at the end. I’m so happy others were moved as much as I was.
@@goodhoonter9882 I haven’t!!!! I’ll look into it thanks for the recommendation! I’ll let you know when I watch it
@@owleyes9739 Same!!!! It makes me happy you were so moved as well have a brilliant day and hold onto as much youth as you can!
This was the only movie to have made me cry
This is one of those movies where I cry about three times per watch. My childhood wasn't exactly like the little girls, but the main theme of being forced to grow up far too early was a major thing for me. It's really damaging and now that I'm actually grown it feels like I've been robbed of something I'm not allowed to have at all anymore. I long to one day feel as free as the aviator.
I've been in a depression for a while this story definitely helped remind me it's possible to jog yourself out of the fog. Thanks for sharing this underappreciated story, Pig
Underappreciated in the anglosphere, perhaps
The relationship between the little girl and the old man is so beautiful it made me cry so much. The story honestly has a special place in my heart and I've never related to a movie so much. Loved the video ❤️
The little prince was the first book I read alone, it was so magical and with such a strong message, mixing real life with fantasy, everything. Also, the movie was so great that I cried during the movie, it was like I was inside that world. I Can't describe how I feel after seen this story.
Ty Little prince~
Once upon a time, I was obsessed with this story, and once upon a time, I planned out a plane.
My first ever blueprint came into existence thanks to The Little Prince, and it was because I was hellbent on finding him. I searched the stars for his asteroid, I reread the book countless times, I have all sorts of merchandise -- It was my everything. It made me feel not-so-alone, not-so-strange, and like I belonged somewhere. It understood my mind better than I did.
Thank you for covering this life-changing masterpiece, as it certainly changed mine. I would ramble more about it but no one wants to hear that, this is a TH-cam comment section.
Also, on the topic of this movie, where can I watch it if I may ask? I'm in the U.S. and it's no longer on Netflix. :(
I want to know where to watch it as well :( I really want to rewatch but it’s not available for me
I would like to hear more
Yes we would love to hear more my friend, you’re not alone
Since it seems I’ve intrigued a wee audience, why not elaborate, eh? (Thank you for the kind messages as well. You all are the absolute best.)
How it all began; I was in sixth grade, and scrolling Netflix so I can find a movie to fall asleep to. I then stumbled upon The Little Prince, and the whole concept and beautiful animation absolutely captivated me.
I watched it, and grew utterly *obsessed.*
Upon seeing the little girl’s efforts to find The Little Prince, I pondered it for a while. I thought it was outstanding. Then, I went to the mall with my old friends one day, and entered the bookstore, because I’m one of those people. They all groaned and moaned, but I had to browse! It’s who I am.
Then, I found the book. I gasped, and it was the only thing I bought. I went straight for the counter and read it the rest of the mall trip. I quickly finished it and the last page captivated me the most. It hinted to The Little Prince being real. That was when my eyes lit up and I knew just what to do.
Blueprints upon blueprints, I made a concept of a plane. I had (and still have!!) this wonderful teacher that helped me out. He was the music teacher at my middle school (he’s also the band director at my high school) and he had an uncle who built planes.
Unfortunately, my visions never became a reality… however, it was fun while it lasted. I even had an aviator hat with goggles and the plush of Mr. Fox! Many of them, actually. Which didn’t come with tags, so my wee brain was under the impression he was real. I carried him on my shoulder everywhere I went.
I’ve always been an oddball. My family and friends can and will confirm that.
But it made me happy. So… in my humble opinion? That was *absolutely* worth the time and effort. Plus, I’m an inventor now. I have many blueprints of mainly automatons.
@@The-Vixenator-3000I used to believe that the little prince was real and out there, too...there was a german show for kids that retold the little prince's journey and added some elements and made the plot differrnt, but I was still obsessed with the idea of flying through the galaxy with the prince and fox to see different planets, I even begged my mom to sew me a costume and she did make me a cape similar to the little princes attire in that series, so I spent my days running around in our garden pretending I was flying.
I guess I wanted to share that it's not just you who was infatuated with the little prince, it's such a magical story after all :)
This book saved my life on many occasions. It’s simplicity holds so much weight in my life. It keeps me in touch with myself. Really can’t express how much I value this book in my life.
I’m not a big emotional person, but this movie and book made me cry. Just the feeling of people constantly trying to make you do the things they see fit.
My mother got me this book when I was a kid, and I remember not really understanding parts of it. Now its one of my favorite stories, and I'm looking at my copy of the book on my shelf while i watch this. Great vid as always Pig
I took french immersion through k-12 (I'm canadian) and the little prince (le petit prince) was such an intense unit within my French class. My teacher during time we spent on it really got us to think about childhood and adulthood and what we missed and how we can bring back the creativity and curiosity that we had as children. I still remember how she read the book to us and by the end of the book she was a mess (in tears and couldnt fully finish, someone else had to finish the book). She gave us the assignment that was to make a fun game or toy and we got to play with them on the day it was due ( i make a bunch of costumes to play as the characters in the story). It's sad how I wasn't able to appreciate this book and it's message in high school.
I hope more people will go read this book, the movie was great but the book (I think) hits harder.
And for those who love pictures to an incredible degree like me, there's a Graphic Novel version of The Little Prince available!
If I recall correctly, there was also a cartographer in the book, and he told the prince that flowers aren't drawn on maps because they aren't long standing like mountains or oceans.
I love this story very deeply, it's one of the reasons I choose to continue expressing wonder for the world around me and showed that just because you're grown up, doesn't mean you stop using your imagination.
My brother who passed away left me this book. It was given to him by my mother with a note inside about how her mother (my grandmother) had passed it to her. Thank you for this video my friend.
Ok I'm gonna be honnest, this story made me cry and this video too. My mom read the book to me a decade ago and it really is something that you don't forget. I recently faced the lost of someone so I'm a little sensitive on the death subject but this story is beautiful and I will always enjoy it.
finally someone talked about this masterpiece. i have cried so many times over this movie, it really helped me and and also destroyed me with its beautiful soundtrack.
I cannot explain how good this film is. If you haven’t seen it watch it now. If you have, watch it again and you will see the film differently, every time. There is so much packed in that you really need several takes to really sink in.
I was bullied at school and never really had any real friends, so this book really got to me when I was a child, still does. And to this day it's the only lecture I read and the only book I sometimes come back to. I remember crying on the fox scene each time I read it.
the story of the little prince is so beautiful in and of itself, im really glad that they managed to adapt it as a film so well. i thought this would be a pretty mediocre movie but it was so well done and it still affects me so much
I watched this movie first as a child and I didn't completely get it. The main thing that stuck out to me about it was how beautiful it was but nothing else from it hit me.
But now that I've seen it again as a young adult it DESTROYED me. I've been struggling with my career and my art. I feel like I've lost the imagination I had as a kid and i miss it. I haven't been pursuing my art as much as i wish i was, partially from lack of inspiration and partially from lack of time because i have a fulltime job now. I'm an adult now so I'm worrying about money and expenses and where to take my career.
So after watching this movie again I SOBBED. It told me so many things that I never knew I needed to hear. It's truly a beautiful movie
No matter the context, the little prince always makes me cry. it makes you realize just how much you have, and yet how much your missing. it makes me feel naïve for assuming things will get better if I simply "succeed more". I think we all want to succeed, but really the fear of loss and failure is what drives us to. the only escape from the harsh adult world we live in is to let go of the fear, to allow yourself to continue learning from your mistakes, that's how you got to where you are, so why not let it take you to where you want to go. I hope everybody has some takeaway from the book and movie, and I hope we can all implement the lessons learned into our everyday life.
I read this book in French class in high school. It honestly changed my life. I have to say it is a favourite of mine and a constant reminder to find the joy in everyday life. The fox to me is the best character and teaches a valuable lesson. The movie adaptation is a great modern take that always makes me tear up at the end. ❤
The Little Prince is one of my favorite stories! I read it in one of my high school French classes. It really did change me. Sometimes I can't describe how much this story means to me. "The Little Prince" taught me so many things about life, love, and the power of imagination. The story led me to think about my actions and to be responsible. It taught me that enjoying life and exploring the world is essential. Above all, I never forget to hold onto a child's ability to see magic and imagination in the world. I thank my high school French teacher for assigning this book to our French class. It definitely had and still has an impact on my life.
I watched it with my mentally disabled cousin. And I was really amazed that she actually understand the concept of dying with the help of that film. And I think it's important to watch that kind of stories with kids,because they could have a lot of questions and also they could see some things really diferent. It's nice to share it with each other :)
This is one of the first books I ever read, and it impacted me so much as a child that I still remember the story clearly. I remember being excited about this movie because I loved the book so much. However, I wasn’t expecting this movie to make me so emotional, but seeing as I had just lost my grandfather at the time, the aviator reminded me so much of him. The little prince will always hold a special place in my heart, and it will always be one of my favorites books.
As someone who read the book, I cried while listening half-heartedly to this review while drawing.
Goddamit man, the damn sheep was inside the box all along.
I read the book when my older cousin gifted it to me as a child, she even left a note at the start about it being not just a children’s story. It wasnt until I reread it when I was a little bit older that I truly appreciated it and decided it’s my official “favorite book” (with tears in my eyes). Then much much later I found out there’s this movie, and it’s so beautiful. And when in Sky: children of the light I met the little prince I was so happy and delighted.
Thank you so much for the video, I had tears in my eyes by the end. I should rewatch the movie sometime, and maybe make a little prince drawing (which I’ve daydreamed about for years but havent gotten around to it) and post it somewhere my cousin can see it
So far in all my life of watching movies, binge watching shows, playing games all with the heart wrenching stories… still the only piece of media to ever make me cry
When I first watched this movie, I was probably like 11 or 12 years old. But at that age I knew there was a message behind it but never knew what it was... I'm so thankful that I remembered this and reflected on it. Definitely so underrated.
Man, these reviews ALWAYS make me tear up - yet, for some reason I can't get enough of it. If you keep reviewing these amazing, heartfelt movies I'll have no choice but to keep coming back!
One quote from this book that really stuck with me, and I'm not entire sure why, is "And I guessed it even more fragile. It is necessary to protect the lamps: a gust of wind can extinguish them ..."
I guess I connected it to my depression and happiness, how it can be so easily extinguished when I'm in a depressive episode because of how dim and fragile it is.
This year: My English college professor (Mr.Jeffery) gave me a wrapped up gift, that day was my last day of taking his class in my very first year in college. I waited till I got home, and it was this book ‘The Little Prince’.
I read it every single night before bed till the very end. Best gift that I’ve never thought I would’ve needed until the last page of this book. It’s my favorite book. Mr.Jeffery is a great professor, very kind, and his class was never dull or boring, everyday I was looking forward to take his class in the morning. So receiving this gift? After finishing it? It is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I’ll cherish that.
I've never even seen the movie or read the book, yet your video itself made me tear up, and I hardly cry ever. I really need to read this, looks like it would change my life. Thanks.
This is the first time I've ever cried from one of your videos. My English teacher read us the little prince in 12th grade but I never really internalized the meaning until watching your video! I lost my father in 2017 to cancer and finishing high school and moving through college has been so hard without him, I've felt isolated. But that reminder that he's still with me forever just really hit. Thanks pig, I needed this one lol.
I discovered this story when I was going through the grind of my first post-grad school job, and it was such a balm for the soul to remember to keep the child and creativity inside of me alive. I hate when people sing the praises of being “essential” all the time, or being busy just for the sake of being busy. I value the time that I get to be creative and expressive and this story really reminds you to keep a playful spirit.
Today, for the first time, I cried out of hope, and desire for the world... thank you for making this video, it really means so much... I was so worn down and hopeless to the detriment of myself but this.... this made me feel the raw emotions I've never felt before.... thank you
I also really recommend you to watch marcel the shell with shoes on. The stop motion & storyline is so good and it’s really refreshing to watch. If anyone is going trough a hard time this will be the right movie ! Thank you for giving us another lovely movie review of yours.
We read this back in middle school and I forgot the majority of it for the longest time. Thank you for helping bring back our memories of it. It gives a beautiful message and we need more beauty like that with how gray the world feels nowadays
I hope you see this BionicPig. You're taste in things are worldly and your mind is beautiful. I love how you process things and perceive them.
I knew of this story but never read the book or watched the movie. My husband and i are expecting our first kid very soon and after watching this its convinced me to get the book to read to them. Ive been so worried about this exact thing. I want my future kids to be ready and prepared for the world because its so hard but at the same time i want them to enjoy being little while they have the opportunity. This gave me a kind of peace of mind. Thank you.
My mom was the one that introduced me to the Little Prince. She would read the book when she was a little girl in Brazil. She still has her book till this day.
In school we were tasked with reading the book... year 8 of elementary... the last one... but i love it... especially as a artist... the art is beautiful... but the contents are the most important part... it changed me
So happy to see this movie covered and also to hear how helpful it was for you. My high school french class watched it since the story is originally in french and it resonated really hard with a bunch of creative kids who were at the point where public school really pushes college prep for "traditional" jobs (basically anything that isn't focused solely around creativity). As an artist who's currently working on going to school for animation seeing this beautiful story that combines such gorgeous stop motion with the very premise being about how the world is trying to push creativity out of you so you do an "essential" job instead just really helped push me to pursue my passions. Great video as always man, your content always keeps me coming back to watch and rewatch videos.
(Also I was eating doritos during this so the sponsor bit caught me off guard lol)
I also believe that school hides the creativity of many subjects, the main victim being math. Like, I get so sad when I hear people call math uncreative or the polar opposite of art, just because school offers a very limited and grating experience of the subject. It's one of the most imaginative disciplines, and, if anything, it's art at its finest to my eyes.
this movie is literally my childhood and everytime i go back to it its still as good as i remembered, and it makes more sense as i grasp what the context i didnt have as a child is
The Little Prince is my favourite book and has been since I was young. I read it over and over again from the age of about seven. One bit I remember from the first time I read it was when I got to the part with the drunkard, and the narration says at one point that the little prince felt sorry for him and wanted to help him. I remember it because I felt the exact same way reading it as a naive child. I didn’t understand addiction or how and why people fall into it, I just knew I wanted to help this sad man.
I really needed this. For the longest time I wanted, my childlike sense of wonder to go away, but now I realize how important it really is and how much I love it. For context, I’m 18 and I’ve always been different from a lot of other kids and teens I’ve known. I always been happy, joyful, love colors and everything. Things that little kids love, and that made me different and for a long time I wished I knew how to make it not that way, but this is help me realize that that’s an important part of my life and I should hold onto it forever. Thank you pig none of your videos I’ve ever really touched me like this one has and keep making TH-cam even though this comment sunburn sad a lot of your videos have made me laugh over the years especially the ones with your characters and then never stop being your true self because a lot of people love and rely on you for happiness.
Since I was a kid we had multiple editions of the little prince. We had it in French, English, Slovak (my native language) we had a version about a little princess which was basically the story of a baby not yet born traversing through a panel house into which she'd be born, looking for her mom. When I was about nine I had the chance to go see Le petit prince ballet and when the movie came out I was scared to watch it. In fear of it not satisfying the standard for the storytelling I set for myself. But I watched with my mom and dad, leaning into my mom's side, her arm around my shoulders. Like we'd watch movies when I was little. I'm 19 now and I miss reading the story for the first time. And it was so much fun to watch the movie.
This is one of my favorite movies I seen in a long time, and I’m glad that this story was able to help you, and hopefully everyone watching ❤️
Fun fact my class met the director of the starting scene of the little prince when the man crashed his plane and meets the little prince 13:03 ! He showed us the progress of recording and showed us models it was so interesting!
I've been watching this movie since forever, since I was like, seven. I'm almost seventeen now, almost an adult. It makes me cry everything. Every time that music starts playing in the beginning, i get emotional. The line the fox says, "To me, you'll be unique in all the world. And to you, I'll shall be unique in all the world." Means so much to me, along with the "suicide" scene. As my favorite person and my best friend in the world is suicidal. And I can't imagine what would happen if they leave this world. The song "Equation (eng. Ver) in the film means a lot to me, too. As I relate deeply to the lyrics.
I absolutely adore this movie! I actually first watched this when I was fairly young with my brother and we both were very emotionally effected by its ending even though we hadn't fully understood the concept of what the movies deeper meaning was. It has now officially been 8 years since I have watched this movie, and re-visiting this film still gravely effects me now. But the only difference is I now can understand the deeper meaning and this movie comforts me in a way most can't. I honestly highly recommend this movie to any that feel as if growing up is a curse and that loosing people is just the cherry on top of it all.
honestly if you are that person just know that growing up is a scary and amazing thing because even though your saying bye to your childhood you are not ending your story you are simply starting a new one by saying hello to a whole new life. One where you can choose to either be like the business man or you can be like the prince, and find your rose and learn to live with loss but don't fear nor hate it just accept and embrace it. ♡ Never forget that everyone goes through loss you are not alone ♡
I remember a show under the same title where the prince is the main character instead of the girl and i believe that the antagonist which is a snake that can change it's size at will is the "death" which is talked about in the movie
i feel like this is a story that gains more meaning as u get older.
In elementary school, I did Kumon packets on this story. I didn't think much of it other than it was kinda goofy-- the line about the little prince living on a planet only slightly larger than itself stuck with me bc i thought that was such a weird and funny image.
Middle school/ high school was the time I watched this movie. I thought it was cute and kinda sad toward the end. I understood it was about the loss of creativity but didn't think too deeply about it. Found it a little relatable as a person who likes to draw/ be creative.
I believe it was last year/ early this year, the game: Sky Children of the Light collab with the Little Prince and it brought back memories. So i decided to seek out the original story. I watched an audio version on youtube and I really liked it. There was also a Little Prince documentary on Netflix. I watched that too. and then I bought the book. I'm in college now; that time of yer life when u gotta make a lotta important decisions. Growing up really do be tough but this story always reminds me that no matter where I go, I should never forget the things that are the most important to me and to never lose that sense of creativity and that curiosity about the world
I remember watching this movie when I was really little… I liked it more I think because I was a child. It really captures the whimsy of youth and the terror of becoming an adult.
My grandpa introduced me to this movie (and had me read the book afterwards), and it was not only a great bonding experience for us, but a fantastic story as well. A story that I needed to hear during a crucial point in my life, as I'd just graduated from college and had some fears about growing up in the real world. My grandpa just passed away last week, and while my heart's still broken, I know that I'll continue to cherish this story for the rest of my life.
RIP, Grandpa. A lot of what I am now is because of you, and I'll always cherish the lessons you taught me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Few years ago I actually got a star for my birthday with a paper confirming it + the stars name. I found out you can buy someone a star for 50$. I was happy to have it cause I have a big passion for astronomy, but the idea of someone selling stars still blows my mind.
Thank you. I needed this. Im turning 20 in a couple weeks, lately ive been overthinking on how i dress, how i act, what hobbies i enjoy- are they too childish? Am i not woman enough? But i am ! Im a big kid at heart, forever. & thats okay
This man honestly needs more viewers. I tell a bunch of my friends about him. He's just doing what he loves and man that's just so refreshing. He's not trying to target the algorithm or taking shortcuts. He's working hard and it shows
I watched the movie a very very long time on Netflix, and it easily became one of my favorite movies on the platform when it was available. I was a lot younger and while I overlooked the relationship aspect I certainly resonated with the idea of creativity and throwing talent away in favor of pursuing more "useful" ambitions. The climax and ending felt so cathartic for me at the time that it moved me to tears. Come 2021, a game I played since launch for two years at the time called Sky: Children of the Light had a whole season dedicated to the story and it's still one of my favorites in the game's history. I plan on getting a copy of the book eventually as well :)
I remember being so happy and delighted and shouting “Little prince!!” when I saw him in the game, realizing who the “friend of rose” is
Beautiful video of a beautiful story.
I cried. I lost my grandmother recently and I haven’t grieved because I haven’t wanted to let her go.
There’s a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
That seems like what happened to you with this lovely story.
Shine on, A. You’re too wonderful to let the world drag you down. ⭐️
Never seen or read it before and just hearing your take on the story made me tear up. Definitely watching this movie with the family and a box of tissues on the side. It might finally top “A.I.” on the list of movies that have always hit me hard emotionally
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I think its severely UNDERRATED and I would rewatch it countless of times, and this video is absolutely correct the movie/book is absolutely amazing and should be appreciated more.
I've been sick for last week or so with the flu and I been feeling horrible. Often times when I am sick, I can set my mind right and keep myself feeling better, but the longer it goes the more depressed I start to feel. this was the day for me, the feeling has been creeping up on my all day and I've been losing my power of my mind, in the shower i just stared at the wall with nothing in my head just the want to feel normal again. this video gave me a kickstart, I feel happier. Thank you BionicPIG you are amazing man
The little prince appears in Sky: Children of light, it's entrance is in the far back of the windy paths
The part of the stars made me cry, because, ive lost a sibling before, and it hurts but when i heard “ill be among the stars” everytime its night i know their watching me, smiling at how far ive come.
My dog is suffering from a soft tissue tumor in one of his front legs. He is an 8 year old, 150-160lb English Mastiff. We would have to amputate, but he's too old and heavy to be able to use a prosthetic. On top of the fact everyone in my household can't be home to train and watch over his recovery. We are going to put him down soon so he doesn't suffer with the pain. I have seen the movie before a few years ago, but a part of the message was missed or lost to memory. Your video helped me gain a new perspective of the situation for him and myself. Thank you.
I don't remember a lot of things from my childhood, but one of my clearest memories is of one of the many many times that I stayed up when I was supposed to be sleeping just to reread this book, & within the first few pages I was already tearing up & by the end of the book I was be sobbing. I remember touching each word with my hand as I read it & stroking the pages gently as I absorbed each page to it's fullest. I was, & still am, a very fast reader & I took great pride in that as a child but reading The Little Prince I would force myself to slow down & truly appreciate each page. This book holds such a special place in my heart, as a child who was denied a childhood. It feels so dreamy & romantic & simultaneously so real & raw & is such an important story. 💛💛💛💛💛 "It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of tbr wheat fields."
very glad you discussed this movie. is so underrated and a must watch! i hope people will watch this movie bc it barely get enough attention. beautiful storytelling, animation and great use of metaphors.
This is one of few TH-cam videos to ever make me cry, and as soon as I finished I went to look in the comments to see if anyone else was the same. That was a bad idea because there are some amazing stories here too. I think I needed this
My parents bought me an audio cassette tape of the little prince, when I was small. I took it as a pretty story with a sad ending. I still loved to listen to it before sleep. Nothing deep, just a fairytale.
But when I watched the movie (26), I cried my eyes out as it spoke to me. I went through the experiences the little girl had and saw so much of myself in her. I couldn't stop sobbing after it ended.
Thank you pig for a beautiful breakdown of both the movie and the story itself.
It says something about a movie when I start tearing up merely at a recap of the movie.
After this video, I immediately took out my old pile of sketchbooks that I shoved in a dusty tote bag under the dark corners of my desk almost a year ago.
When I first saw this movie, I was no different from the little girl. Practical, analytical, and pushed by my mother to become a scholar in a reputable school and maintain my grades. But I was also quite artistic and everytime I started drawing, it was like an addiction. I didn't want to make money out of my art, I just wanted to master it for myself and to be able to put out my imagination on paper. I wanted to be like Kim Jung Gi and other great sketch artists.
There were a lot of times when I had to stop drawing to focus on surviving and putting my family's needs ahead of my desire to be creative, and that continued on 'til college. I'm in my final year now and watching this video on a whim made me want to relive the old highschool days when I could feel ambitious with my work without feeling too guilty about using my time for anything other than chores, academics, and worrying about a future carreer.
I opened one dusty sketchbook page after another and most of the sketches were clearly for practice and not very good, but I found it so adorable. The tiny technical notes on how and where to improve, the experimental styles, the thumbnails and composition practice, the pure obvious passion of the old me at the time despite the art looking very amateurish now. Those were my stepping stones, and even in the tiniest frustrated scribbles I could only remember the happiness and the sense of accomplishment from making something that wasn't essential to anyone else but me. Maybe I'll take a look at this movie and book again, before I become a full fledged adult.
i have always had nostalgia for the little prince. called el principito in my country. and my dad read it to me in what i can genuenly remember bit by bit and the story, even thought i dont remember it too well besides de basics, brings a genuenine tear to my eye sometimes.
i think that what makes the little prince transcend from good into something more is how it not only deals with heavy issues, but like you mentioned, does it through the lens of a little child. from the first time i heard my dad read the first page in his incredibely soothing tone, i knew that this was an amazing story. i was propably 3-5 at the time and i know i said it but holy shit did the story just stick close to my heart.
Also, small detail in the final section of the movie, every character that before was in stop motion now is in pixar like animation. Showing how "essential" or more so "mature" they are now. And when the little prince goes back to his original form, hes a mix of both, because he is still mature, but has his child like wonder intact. Something we should all strive to be
Thank you for your time thank you for your effort. Thank you for your continued service here on TH-cam and in life. A father, a husband, a distant friend to strangers like myself. It doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you.
I'd love you to make a video on Klaus. It's my ABSOLUTE favourite Christmas movie of all time! But I don't hear many people talk about it. If anyone hasn't seen it yet please give it a shot, it's on Netflix you won't regret it
Like you, I didn't really enjoy the film-adaptation since I grew up with the book and felt like an "aged up" Prince kind of missed the point and watered down the story. However, after rewatching it and seeing the response from others, I admit that this was a great way to deliver the closure that the book lacked and also *introduced* the book for a whole new audience to enjoy. There's nothing bad there.
With that said: I'm still INCREDIBLY salty that the film adaptation didn't turn out to be a My Girl/Bridge to Terabithia film to a younger generation.
Thank you for making these videos, they’re so interesting and well thought out.
I get what it feels like to do stuff just for work and not because of your passion (I’ve recently started to draw because I need to, not because it’s what I love).
Again, thank you so much, your videos inspire me!
We read this in my French class and finished up the unit by watching the movie! It’s one of my favorites and I swear it changed how I viewed certain aspects of myself and the world around me. Truly lovely.
This video and your last one made me cry. Thank you for being such a genuine person and showing how much you care about your family. It shows. Love you and I hope you have a great day. I always look forward to your videos
I remember this movie when I first watched it at school. I was intrigued to watch it again that it was luckily on Netflix, then I showed my parents with it and my mom used to use some songs from the soundtrack to keep the nursery asleep. She even still has the Minus+2 equation song as a ringtone when I message her. It really is an underrated gem and I’m glad that you are the one to talk about it!
I am so glad I found your video, so here's my story. The first time I read The Little Prince was in high school during Reading and Writing class. The topic was on European Literature, and the book's iconic interaction with the Little Prince and the Fox was written in our textbook. "What is essential is invisible to the eye." That line stuck with me so much that I decided to borrow a full copy of the book, and I eventually bought my own. And... wow, just... WOW. I fell in love with it, the story, the characters, the art, just everything about it. Not long after, I saw the movie, and the impact I felt the first time I read it hit me once more. So much subtle symbolism and life lessons, it expanded upon the book like what a good adaptation should be. The themes of childhood wonder, adult cynicism, and acceptance in this story will always be an important part of helping me grow as a better adult, and this video reminded me of that. So thank you, kind sir. I hope you're feeling better and have a truly essential life with your family.
Today, years after, I still have my old copy of the book and a DVD copy of the movie, so I'm probably gonna reread & rewatch it again. The last time I read the book was as a bedtime story for my sister, so good times as well. Also, to anyone reading this, there's this novel/movie/anime called "Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai (I Want to Eat Your Pancreas)." The title doesn't sound desirable, but it's actually very wholesome/heartbreakingly devastating. The Little Prince book is an important part of the story, so I highly recommend watching/reading it as well. If you do so, be prepared for PAIN.
Pig, I dunno if you’ll see this, but you are the realest person on TH-cam. Over the last few months, you’ve become my favorite content creator. You’re videos have helped me out with my own struggles in creating things, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. You’re the man. I aspire to be someone just like you. Maybe someday I will put my creations out into the world with some success, and maybe you wouldn’t know it, but you would be a big reason as to why they’re out there. I hope I can inspire someone the way you inspired me. Keep killin it man. But only as long as it makes you happy.
When I was a child, my mother and my father both used to read "The Little Prince" to me almost every other week until I turned about 12 or 13(yeah, they did it for quite a while) and I loved it every time. And its been 7 years since I've heard the name "The Little Prince", till today, till this video, and holy hell did it open my eyes and heart yet again, the lessons of the story stuck with me for so long that I still had the ideologies of the fox, not exactly like the fox but close, like his quote "You can only see rightly with the heart, anything essential is invisible to the eye", I made something similar without realizing it, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but even the eye is blind to the beauty of what is imperfection". The story stuck with me so much that I still had the ideologies 7 years later but couldn't remember the name of where it came from. I love and cherish this story, and I haven't even seen the movie yet. "The Little Prince" is most definitely a must read, not only for children for lessons, but for adults to remind them of their beginnings and their faded child-like wonder so long ago, to return them back to their creative and naïve beginnings and to show them that that child-like view of the world is exactly what they needed and have been what they've been missing for so long. I needed this, thank you for reviewing this wonderful movie and book.
I don’t cry when reading books or watching movies, but this. 🗣️
I grew up reading the little prince and I used to watch the old show on dvd I was so excited to watch the movie when it came out. It's such a sweet and deep concept all throughout its media sources.
I watched this when I was younger with my cousins. I remembered it fondly as a fun and visually appealing movie. Then the other day I was thinking about it, and what it actually means, and I started tearing up. Watching this review made me tear up again, just by how much you reminded me of its beauty. Thank you.
Oh my god, you just unlocked a childhood memory of me. I havent seen this movie in such a long time.
edit: I just rewatched the movie before seeing this video, and damn, I'm struggling not to cry.
Im glad this movie is getting recognition❤i have to read the book asap!!
The first time I watched this movie I was 14. The first time I watched it I was jealous of the little girl bc of the structure her life had at the beginning. I wanted that stability and I wanted to know what I was doing. The second time I watched it I realized it was neglect and that growing up I experienced a different form of neglect, that neither were okay. This movie quite literally changed my life, I didn’t want the life my mom had, just working for a paycheck. I wanted to do something that I would enjoy, I didn’t want to loose my creativity or joy. I’m nearly 20 now, sometimes I forget that I’m working bc I enjoy my job. I’m still doing art and learning more creative outlets. I genuinely believe that I wouldn’t be here without this movie. I’ve never read the book so I think I’m going to go find it to read it to get a new experience with this story. This movie is so underrated, this is my first time ever seeing anyone talk about it
Genuinely, thank you. I had never heard of this beautiful film or book until now but, im so glad you're giving it recognition. This was a beautiful video made on a beautiful topic. Well done
I didnt realize the impact this had on me. I havent cried in so long and by the end of this I was sobbing. Even if I feel my parenets tried to give me a childhood full of creativity is was always leaning onto be useful. That on the first day of school I had these expectations stacked against me. As an adult now in college, its hard to be creative. You have all these logical things to worry about and adult problems. I long for the childlike wonder i had when I would be content in my own world, drawing and making stories. not having to worry if it looks ok or even the very real final exams.
thank you for sharing this story, i needed it.
This video is wonderful. The story is amazing of course, but this narration and retelling and interpretation made me tear up in the end. Have my sub man you've hit me in the heart.
I read this as a kid and loved it then. It was so exciting and imaginative. I read it again as an adult and remember literally thinking that it was like a completely different story. Like my favorite line from the book "But I was too young to know how to love her" , as a kid I only got part of the meaning. Yet I enjoyed it all the same because the essential stuff, what makes the book so relatable and cozy, is invisible.
