‘The Little Prince’ Gets Netflix Release Date & New Trailer

Netflix picked up the pic in March after Paramount Pictures unexpectedly dropped the film from its schedule only days before its planned theatrical release. The animated adaptation of Antoine Saint-Exupery’s classic centers on a Little Girl and her mother who is preparing her for the world in which they live – only to be interrupted by her eccentric, kind-hearted neighbor, The Aviator. The Aviator introduces The Little Girl to his new friend The Little Prince, and a world where anything is possible. The stellar voice cast includes Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Marion Cotillard, James Franco, and Ricky Gervais. （Deadline.com）
