Nippon Animation's 1978 adaptation of The Adventures of the Little Prince is now available on Crunchyroll, complete with both English dub and subtitle options. This 35-episode series follows the iconic boy from Asteroid B612 as he travels to Earth and encounters a cast of characters, exploring themes of loneliness, friendship, and the adult world's absurdities through his innocent perspective.
The show is a faithful, episodic retelling of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's beloved novella, capturing the philosophical and whimsical tone of the original work. While it predates the 2015 CGI film, this 70s adaptation offers a classic animated take on the timeless story, making the entire journey available for binge-watching.
Produced by TV Asahi, the series offers a gentle, contemplative viewing experience, suitable for those seeking a nostalgic revisit or an introduction to the enduring tale of the Little Prince and his rose.
