An enchanting tale of adventure, friendship, and love. Based on the famous book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the tale unfolds of the prince who befriends a pilot whose plane crashes in the Sahara Desert.
Told with simplicity and poignancy, the prince learns to choose with his heart rather than his eyes, to find courage to explore new things, and to appreciate life’s simple pleasures. The Little Prince is a colorful and inspiring tale for the entire family.
