Never heard of this one. Lot of big names in this. Animation and artistic style looks really good. May have to give this one a look over when it gets closer to release.

Thanks for the intel on this release BleedOrange11

It's received good reviews. Looks like a potential Oscar nominee if it gets a limited release in the U.S.

Visually, it's a cool blend of CGI and stop motion. I hope the 3D is used well.

Havn't seen it. All I know is that the same Director, Mark Osborne of "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" created what has been my strongest 3D cell-drawn animation experience to date and Rotten Tomatoes gives this 100% = ("Reviews Counted: 9") to date.

Not many reviews for the movie, but all solid.

Paramount just dropped out of distributing the film a week before it was scheduled to be released in the U.S.. Now, the film has to find a new distributor and no doubt will be delayed, and there could be a chance it doesn't come out in the U.S. at all.

I see from this thread that the French release is unfortunately region B locked. Is there an English friendly, region free release with both 3D and 2D versions, as I don't like to import but could see that making sense in this case if the price is right.

BleedOrange11 · 03-11-2016, 09:22 PM

This won best animated film at France's César Awards this year.

Zivouhr · 03-11-2016, 09:53 PM

Online 3D trailers can sometimes be deceptive depending on the source, but if it's an official source and the 3D is mild, then that's not good if that's the case.

Thanks for that info. I was just looking at this in some site's 2016 list of upcoming movies they were anticipating. Guess they'll have to revise that list if this doesn't make it to the US this year.

Seventh Son 3D had to find a new distributor and it took a year before it was released afterwards, even though the film was long since completed.

BleedOrange11 · 03-11-2016, 11:32 PM

I was looking at screencaps from the Blu-ray 3D, easily accessible via Google images. True, I haven't seen the whole movie, so I could be missing something, but it's easy to tell from a decent-sized random sample of images that the basic stereography is not on the same professional level as major US animated productions. See it for the story and animation but don't expect high quality 3D.

manicsounds · 03-11-2016, 11:58 PM

The Japanese 3d+2D Blu-ray will be released on March 23rd.
The movie was good, but not great, as it focuses way too much on the young kid / old man relationship rather than the original "The Little Prince" story with the stop motion scenes.

Imagine seeing "The Princess Bride", but if most of the movie was between Fred Savage and Peter Falk.... But I will admit there were a few tears shed.

This movie is getting really great reviews in the States (93 on R.T.) but......

i checked dddhouse just now and it been pushed back to april 5th.

Zivouhr · 03-19-2016, 01:07 AM

Importing movies I really enjoyed and in 3D is one thing for $30+, but importing movies I haven't seen yet depends on how strong the 3D is and if it's a movie I'd watch at least once every year. This looks interesting, but I'll wait for more feedback on the 3D and story.

that's good to know since I'll be actually home after the 1st of April.

HDM_fan · 03-17-2016, 06:08 PM

This is a terrific movie & 3D is done well (medium to strong). I got the French 3D BD. Recall there was an English audio track, but think opening/ending credits were in French. No pop-outs like someone already posted, but nice depth.

Nice to see HK BD release now.

The English "voice" role credits are presented after the final Paramount ending header on the French disc.

Netflix has picked up Paramount’s domestic rights to the stop-motion/CG-animated hybrid feature, according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, and the streaming giant is expected to premiere it later this year. http://www.awn.com/news/mark-osborne...emiere-netflix

Looks like Netflix picked up Little Prince for distribution through Netflix. No release date. I wonder how that will affect a later blu ray option in stores.
