As child, I was enloved with Oscar Wilde's ~Happy Prince~. it was not exactly a favrit tle. but , simple, exactly, The Tale. after decades, I saw this little gem. and memories, and emotions come back. because it is more than a faithfull adaptation. it represents a love letter. simple, moving, memorable, impressive. and honest. all is delicate to ideal. the animation, the music, the voices. and that "swallow, little swallow" never sounds more delicate. for first time, I saw the tale as a portrait of Wilde itself. and the temptation to see the story as adult falls. because it is more than a children tale. it is , this film is splendid proof, a trip across yourself. short, Ron Goodwin gives a precious gift to his public. and more. because this short animation has the gift to define. yourself.
