Woo hoo! We have a date for The Little Prince movie…

Entertainment Weekly’s Nina Terrero (@NINA_TERRERO) has posted the release date for The Little Prince movie.

August 5

She wrote the following:

EW has learned that the animated retelling of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s 1943 novella will simultaneously be released theatrically and will hit Netflix exclusively on Aug. 5, four months after Paramount quietly pulled the feature shortly before its mid-March release date.

There’s also a Netflix branded trailer (see below).

This is great news!

And with 10 weeks to go, we are hoping that Netflix will consider what we’ve written in our “Dear Netflix” posts.

Please protect this prince!

— The Gang
