Jane and Pieter made this playsheet for us to contemplate this month’s movie The Little Prince.
Plan to join us for a discussion of this month’s movie, The Little Prince, on Sunday, October 23rd at 8 pm ET/6 pm MT. Jane Sobel and Pieter Van Prooijen will be facilitating this month’s movie discussion.
The Little Prince is a 2015 animated fantasy adventure drama film. The film stars the voices of Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, James Franco, and Ricky Gervais. The film relates the story of a young girl who has just met the book’s now-elderly aviator narrator, who tells her the story of his meeting with the Little Prince in the Sahara desert.
Jane and Pieter chose this movie for the spiritual themes of how there is the forgetting of who we are, friendship, love, forgiveness, innocence, death, life purpose, and then, of course, the journey home, all shared in the movie. Furthermore, one can recognize the overall theme of how not taking time to smell the roses, but instead focusing on bigger, better, faster, always trying to get ahead and plan for the future, how this is ultimately a trap. In the end, we shall see… “We’re all just walking each other Home!”
The film has received positive reviews, earning praise for its style of animation and becoming the most successful French animated film abroad of all time.
You can find this movie on Netflix.
