The animation style gives the story a rather bizarre, yet whimsical vibe, as if it was something straight out of a dream. Some scenes, like the imaginary dance between the Little Prince and the Rose were simple gorgeous, though I'm not really sure of the aesthetic choice for the character designs, which at moments had a bit uncanny look. The same goes for some of the voices: The narrator was fine, but the rose and the fox sounded a bit weird at moments.
Still, this is a rather impressive effort, and I appreciate the heavy faithfulness to the source material, even if the short lenght made a couple of scenes a bit rushed.
Glad Vinton kept the ambiguous melancholic ending of the book.
