Production notes

This TV series ran for 39 episodes, of which only 35 were broadcast; the last four finally appeared on the video reissue.

Edited into a 26 episode series called The Adventures Of The Little Prince for Nickelodeon.

Loosely based on Antoine de Saint-Exupery's 1943 French novella "Le Petit Prince."

The English-language dub gives Saint-Exupery a French accent.
