He is a take *beep* from no one sort of character, hardcore if you will, who has a sarcastic flare. He is best described as a "rogue with a heart of gold", he is a peripatetic sailor who is both stoic and sympathetic to the disadvantaged. Corto Maltese is a laconic sea captain, without a ship, that goes on adventures all around the world during the early 20th century. Corto Maltese is, by most accounts, the most popular comic character in all of Europe. Corto Maltese is a european graphic novel series created by the legendary writer Hugo Pratt who is so respected by the comic industry for the groundbreaking strides he made in the creation of what is now know as a graphic novel, that he has an island nation in DC comics continuity named his most famous character Corto Maltese, that first appeared in the dark knights returns series as a nod to Hugo Pratt. For those of you not familiar with Corto I'll give a brief introduction as well. In addition to these five movies there are also six twenty-minute television episodes released at the same time that chronicle his smaller adventures. This is the second (story order) of five movies released in 2002 that deal with the tales of Corto Maltese. If you don't see this film it is definitely your loss.
The animation is a combination of two very different styles, computer & stop motion, which makes the movie even better than it would have been otherwise as the stories being told stand out from the rest of the film in a unique and breathtaking way.
Through stories of his past, and his friend that he calls the little prince, the old man slowly awakens the childhood spirt inside of her and helps her to come to terms with real life inevitabilities such as living, loving, losing, aging, and even death. It tells the story of a little girl who grew up way too fast and her old neighbor who never did. Though these unfortunate circumstances don't generally bode well, the film is fantastic. Soon after, exclusive rights were purchased by NetFlix and it will be released in August 2016, nearly a year after the rest of the world.
Two days before it's USA national release paramount pulled it indefinitely from the theatrical schedule, without explanation, other than that they didn't feel it would appeal to Americans. 'The Little Prince' is a beautiful animated movie that was shockingly withheld from American audiences.
