The novel that the movie was based on, written by some French guy, attempts to delve deeply into the meaning of life, the unponderable realities of love, and unanswerable questions about the existence of mankind as seen through the eyes of a... uh... very short extraterrestrial that looks amazingly like an annoying British kid with stupid curly hair and an accent so thick that it makes you go "Uh..what?" and "Huh???" and "What the SHEEP did he say?" (at least in the movie version).
For some odd reason, the Little Prince at one point in the movie asks the narrator "Wood you drarwer mea sheeeeeep?" English Translation: "Would You Draw Me a Sheep?"
As you can see, for some reason, we actually had to Drarwer A Sheeeeeeep for class. Yeah. Good to know the educational system is pushing us to the limit. So, I drew the sheep, but turned the Little Prince into a stinky, long-haired, Grateful Dead loving, pot smoking, hemp wearing, acid dropping, peace sign waving, flag burning, beatnik drumming, San Francisco living, organic farming, no meat eating, bohemian dancing, communal living, nude sitting, "Om" chanting, Allen Ginsberg reading, tie-dye making, civil rights screaming, anti-war movementing, Woodstock Festivaling, flower powering, free loving, bra burning, bell bottom bustling, VW driving, psychedelic rocking, incense burning, Transcendentalist philosophizing, Phish listening, artistically expressing, Patchouli smelling, Dig It Man hippy.
