If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the bestselling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director(导演) has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片).
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击) into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grownup world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing(令人惊奇的) world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions—in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9yearold daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream, and the dream is lost by most adults in this stressedout society.
"The most touching part is that every one of us was a goodnatured kid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质) goes away as time flies, " he says.
