The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince) is a French stereoscopic computer-animated children's television series inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's novel of the same name that began broadcast in late 2010. The series was created by Method Animation and the Saint-Exupéry-d'Agay Estate Production, in co-production with LPPTV, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Fabrique d'Images, DQ Entertainment and ARD, in participation with France Télévisions WDR Rai Fiction, Télévision Suisse Romande and TV5Monde.
It was produced by Aton Soumache, Alex Vonarb, Dimitri Rassam and Cedric Pilot, co-produced by Jean-Marie Musique, Christine Parisse and Tapaas Chakravarti, and developed for television by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patelliere with Romain Van Leimt. Main character creation and adaptation was done by Bertrand Catignol, with art direction by Gabriel Villate and Pierre-Alain Chartier. Storyboard supervision was done by Augusto Zanovello and Jean Charles Andre, and script edition by Christel Gonnard. The original music OST track for the series was composed, orchestrated and arranged by Frederic Talgorn, and performed by WDR Rundfunkorchester Köln.
Adaptation rights currently belong to Soicete pour l'CEuvre et la Memoire d'Antione de Saint-Exupery (2008). It was later translated into English and Scottish Gaelic.
Translated dubs were broadcast on three channels in Canada:TVOntario (until 2016, as part of TVO Kids), Télé-Québec and Knowledge Network. In the United States, the series was part of the original lineup for Primo TV during its January 2017 launch. The series is also officially available online, via media partners, on YouTube.
