Gene Wilder as the Fox in The Little Prince

The sweetest, most beautiful moments of the 1974 musical film of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's classic The Little Prince. Wilder has the sweetest, most beautiful face, perfect for playing The Fox, who gets to say the most important sentence in the book: It is only with the heart that one can see clearly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.



The little prince realizes on his own that now that he has tamed the fox, he feels responsible for him. Someone tamed me in the 1980's, but never felt responsible in any way. He will never know what he still costs me every day of my life.
