The new animated version of the classic story “The Little Prince” will be the opening-night film at the 2016 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, organizers announced on Monday.
Directed by Mark Osborne and featuring the voices of Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Ricky Gervais, James Franco and Benicio Del Toro, the animated film premiered at last year’s Cannes Film Festival and will be released by Paramount Pictures in March.
“The Little Prince” takes elements from the original book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and uses them in an original narrative by Irena Brignull and Bob Persichetti about a little girl who develops a friendship with an elderly neighbor as a way of escaping from the rigorous life of studying that her mother has meticulously mapped out for her.
