Here’s a new trailer for the animated film adaptation of the classic French children’s book, The Little Prince. The film is directed by Mark Osborne, director of the first Kung Fu Panda film and features the voice talents of Marion Cotillard, Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, and Paul Giamatti.

The film will show at the Cannes Film Festival in May and will officially be released in France on July 29th. There’s no official release date for US theaters yet.

Based on this trailer alone the film looks pretty amaznig, and adorable I might add. What do you guys think?

How did you like Frozen? I know that sometimes you do reviews for movies. Would you consider doing one for Frozen and The Book Thief?

I loved it! I saw it twice (Wednesday and Thursday) and I really loved it. I think you could argue that Tangled, or even Princess in the Frog is a better film, but I think I like Frozen the most of any Disney film in a long time. I was going to write a proper review on my other blog, but I don’t think I’m going to get around to it anytime soon. The music was really awesome and after I saw it the first time I bought the soundtrack. There were a few lines in maybe one or two songs that were kind of awkward, but overall they were well done. The first time I saw it, I thought that some things (like the reprise of “The First Time In Forever”) would have worked better on broadway than in a Disney film, but I didn’t feel that as much the second time. Before I saw the film I was only luke warm about “Let It Go” but now I love it. Next to that, my favourite song is probably “Love Is An Open Door.” But every song was well done, I thought. 

I love the characters so much. All of them, really. Olaf gets a lot of hate and has since the teaser first came out, but aside from that one line about not having a skull being weird, I liked him. And the kids in the cinema all freaked out when he showed up. I also loved the trolls. Some people were saying that they just seemed sort of randomly thrown in, but it is a film set in Norway so it never felt random to me. 

Maybe one of the reasons I like this film so much is because of the themes. With The Princess and the Frog, it kind of felt like they were keeping to the old Disney ways with saying how dreams can come true, but adding to that by also saying that you have to work very hard to get there. With Frozen, they sort of expand or even rectify some of the flaws in their past movies related to love. Like many a princess before her, Anna has no experience with men and falls in love with the first guy she meets. I can definitely say that this proves to be a very bad idea as the plot unfolds. I also liked how they point out that you can’t really change anyone, although love can fix them up a bit. A lot of lessons to be found, like how you can’t look to another person to help you ignore the pain in your past and how you can’t hide a part of yourself. 

The animation was beautiful, the vocals were all great and it didn’t feel like I was hearing Elphaba instead of Elsa or Melchior Gabor instead of Kristoff. Overal, just a great movie with lots of humour and heart.

Hi! I was wondering what you think of the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. I saw that Jane Austen is among your favorite authors (mine too). What's your favorite book by her and why? Thanks :)

Hey! I liked the 2005 Pride and Prejudice- it obviously doesn’t follow the book as closely as the BBC, but I thought it was a beautiful film. And Pride and Prejudice is my favourite! I love the story and the characters the best.

It all started when Warner Bros. came to me with the suggestion of turning ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of ‘Fantastic Beasts’, realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As hard-core Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.

As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t dislodge. That is how I ended up pitching my own idea for a film to Warner Bros.

Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.

If you see one more film in your lifetime, this one certainly deserves your attention.  My favorite book was turned into my favorite movie.  Thank goodness.

Adding to the Host commentary: there are some problematic elements, as with Twilight, but it's a much deeper story - about friendship, love, family, sacrifice, survival, and ultimately, what it means to be human. Meyer's writing is also much stronger in The Host and her characters are much more nuanced and likable. The book definitely goes into a lot more detail than the film.

Thank you! It sounds really good.

can you tell me the conflict that was in the book mary poppins by P.L. trevers

If this is a school assignment I’m going to feel very stupid, but I don’t remember there being a central conflict in Marry Poppins. The book, unlike the film, is filled with little adventures the children have with Mary Poppins. It’s really simple and fun, but there isn’t much of a plot. Of course, if you were assigned to find the central conflict for school, there must be one and I’m clearly forgetting something. But I only remember a story about a nanny who takes the children on impossible adventures, only to leave when the wind turns. You can read my review here.
