Why Is There No Wide Theatrical Release ?


Why didn't this get a theatrical release? It's in the caliber of films from Laika and Pixar, such as Coraline and Inside Out.

Because netflix bought the U.S. distribution rights and they chose to publish it on their website, rather than in theaters. A business move, for better or worse.

I really hope this does not hinder its likeliness of getting a best animated nod at the Academy Awards.

The Little Prince deserves to be competing with Zootopia and Kubo.

Paramount was gonna release it in 3D back in April, but changed their minds because they're *beep*
