I remember watching this when I was little... I wonder if it helped keep me open-minded about life in outerspace - I'm glad it didn't turn me into a flaming homosexual though.

From outer space
Can catch a shooting star
And sail away...

I'm really glad I didn't know there was a cartoon version.

its obvious from your disconnected, awkward sentences that you stopped reading at children's books

awesome book. They have you read it every few years in school over in France, since there are so many ways to interpret it.

Kind of interesting, considering the author's fascination with planes/space, that he disappeared without a trace mid-flight.

And my middle school was named after St. Exupery, w00

^ see the French know how to deal with literature

American public education really kind of fumbles around with literature
especially with standardized testing

I didn't want to be pretentious

but I think I'm going to give up on modesty here... it seems if I even mention literature I'm being pretentious so...

yes, American public education flags behind other nations of the world including France

What a great book. I read it in translation whenever I'm feeling sad.

i used to watch that cartoon too
and we had to read it in french class as well.
the little theater did the play version of it and i did all the crappy drawings on a projection screen, but I also got to do the posters too, so that was cool
