6/10
They has me on the first half
2 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This movie tried to retell the timeless classic to a new era of kids and for a little while it does a good job, the stop motion scenes are beautiful and the relationship between the old man and the girl is sweet. The pilote is interesting and their friendship is strong enough to make me care about them. I liked the parallel between the wild imagination of the pages and the strict world.

However, they just danced around the main themes and I left wondering what is this movie even about.

The last act is just horrific, the characters suddenly jumped into an action movie and dumbed down every lesson they tried to teach. Also the CGI little prince is so odd looking.

The old man got into the hospital and the movie ended for me.
