Little lived up to its namesake. The
Little Prince EssayThe Little Prince is a very good book and the movie lived up to its namesake. The movie was very similar to the book but there were still some noticeable differences. Today I will be looking at the setting,characters, plot and resolution.
I will also share my opinion on both. I hope you enjoy this essay on the little prince.Although the setting was very similar as previously stated, the differences actually made it more appealing and added some atmosphere to the already amazing book.

The most obvious character difference is the Little Girl. In the movie it doesn’t say the name for the Little Girl but nevertheless she was never mentioned in the book.
Another character difference that is quite obvious the first time you watched the movie is the Pilot. Yes the pilot was in the book too, but in the book he was a middle aged man yet in the movie is a old man that is on the verge of death.

The Geographer, Lamplighter and Tippler was excluded for no reason.
Another big difference is that all the characters that was put into the movie came alive in the end. Another big difference is that the Little Prince
