The makers didn't get The Little Prince at all!
It's obvious from the narrative of this film that the writers had no concept of what The Little Prince is all about. Yes they used some quotes here and there but took everything out of context, thereby completely missing the point of the Fox and the Rose. The Fox is reduced to a stuffed toy and the Rose dies. We never see The Little Prince forming his own moral education about how he feels for the things he thinks about and cares about deeply and in the process, it loses all its romanticism which made the book a unique literary classic. Shame that animated movies like this feel the need to "dumb things down" for parents and their kids.
