Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A worldwide literary classic (it's been translated into 190 languages), The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince in French) is a 1943 children's book written and illustrated by French aviator and count Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It is the fictional account of a French aviator whose plane crashes in the Sahara desert, a thousand miles from civilization. While trying to fix his plane and expecting to die of thirst within days, he is approached by a young boy who requests that he draw him a sheep. The rest of the story is mostly about the boy (thereafter referred to as the little prince) relating to the narrator his life on an asteroid and his travels from planet to planet in search of the meaning of life. While the Prince talks, the narrator continues to work on his plane.While the book was written for children, the philosophical content appeals to any adult reader, as during the prince's adventures he encounters analogues of many of the traits of modern humanity, and learns about love and friendship from the plants and animals he meets.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Adaptations have mostly been for the stage, but there's also a 1974 movie musical and a 1979 Claymation short. It also inspired an anime, a 2010 CGI cartoon airing on French TV, and a full-length animated movie in 2015.Not in any way a Spear Counterpart to A Little Princess, or Tony Ross' Little Princess books for that matter.

Author Avatar: The Narrator who meets the Little Prince. The Little Prince himself bears some resemblance to the author as a child.

Alternative Foreign Theme Song: The theme song for the Japanese release of the film is titled "Kidzukazu Sugita Hatsukoi" by Yumi Matsutoya. The 1970s TV anime adaptation also got a different theme song when it was dubbed into English and shown during the '80s on Nickelodeon.

Adults Are Useless
 The Little Prince / int_a939d96a
comment
Adults Are Useless: The story begins with the narrator telling us a story of his first attempts at drawing - and why he immediately gave up on it, as a big establishing metaphor on how adults lose their creative minds and imagination when they grow up, instead always wanting and expecting to be reasonable and mature. Spending time with the little prince, the narrator realizes that he himself has lost his imagination and childlike joy just as well.
