The Little Prince - Grow a Little Closer

[@mariamcgrath2402]

Sigh, irreplaceable Gene Wilder. Gentle, funny, special human.

[@georges_biscuit4083]

This song is stuck in my head. I wish Gene Wilder would sing this song to me if he reincarnated into a fox.

Hermoso comentario 😌

My dad took our family to Radio City Music Hall Christmas Day 1973 to see the Rockettes. The Little Prince was the feature film. He drove us there all the way from Philly. It turned out to be the most delightful Christmas imaginable. I'm almost 54 years old and I never forgot how magical and lovely this story has been. A fantastic show with those beautiful dancing Rockettes, too. Thanks Dad, I love you! Thanks Rockettes and thank you everyone whose performances in this production of The Little Prince made it such a priceless touchstone to a very happy childhood memory. Love to all!!!!

[@anonaccount6055]

Kimberly Murray oh my god my mother has the exact same memory the rockettes and the little prince!

[@daniamorales8347]

Loved this movie & song as a kid. I sometimes work with rescue cats and this is a perfect song to represent the outcome you want in the end! ❤

Basically describing how falling in love works

[@TheMilwaukeeProtocol]

Yeah, it's a little weird. But, yanno.

[@georges_biscuit4083]

Yea, that's true. Love is not that easy y'know

what is love if not a way of tame?

[@lauratude5132]

How it should work. It's so hard to fall in love because we skip the slow approaching.

[@jamien.5528]

Not all falling in love is romantic

[@arcar66]

Such a joyous part of a wonderful movie...still my favorite book...

[@catherinesanders1111]

This is just the cutest ever!!!!!

[@JonathanToolonie]

A lot of people had Willy Wonka as the first time they saw him, or The Producers, or Blazing Saddles, or his Trilogy with Richard Pryor, or even Bonnie and Clyde. I had The Little Prince as my first time experiencing this treasure of a man.

[@watarukt5591]

This was the first movie I saw when I was a little child (that I remember) and at that time, I had read a picture book of the Little Prince so I knew it would be a fox + prince scene. So I thought it's weird...a man in brown suits jumping around, not a fox..he even didn't wear his fox tails and ears. I also couldn't read Japanese subtitles at that time so I felt so harder. Now I'm old, understand English and at the same time, can understand the book as a grown-up. So I happened to see this and now I'm really impressed with the song and the performance. Yes Gene Wilder is the fox itself from the book... He's so perfect and I'm in love with him, finally after 46 years...

[@mckenna8663]

I just happened upon this video. I never knew The Little Prince (still don't). But, since finding this video, I have watched it a dozen times. What a sweet song. And LOVE Gene Wilder!!

[@Baseds_Backup_Account]

An underrated masterpiece that has stood the test of time and always will.🙏👱🦊

[@cathrinrehder6652]

One of the most heart-warming scenes in film history with two great actors and wonderful music.

[@mylesgarcia4625]

Oh, the joy, wonder and innocence of childhood -- so well exemplified by this number! Too bad that the score's writers, Lerner & Loewe, were disappointed with the finished product of the whole film.

[@edwardnigma2638]

It was the last thing they did together

[@tlkorde6752]

I am 39, and to this day, this is why I absolutely love foxes! Easily one of the greatest movies ever filmed!

[@mattsmith5704]

Gene just had a way of being unintentionally terrifying and it’s hilarious! Such a cute video though

[@Norma_Ro]

This is, I think, my favourite part of this beautiful movie.

[@Psyche0delic]

This was on at about 1 in the morning when I could not sleep. I was living on PEI, Canada and studying for my bachelor's; I ended up teaching French in Westwood NJ, and showed it in class. The students loved it. Much more than I did during my insomnia so many years before.

[@alyh3721]

I was watching a fox this past weekend and this was the only thing I could think of haha! The fox was so shy but also very curious like the one in the story. I might have found the Little Prince's Fox guys!

[@SuzanneNuttall]

I never knew about this before. I grew up with the French version of the book and it has shaped my life. This is a delightful interpretation!

[@alexgardner8399]

i love this song

[@alexgardner8399]

How I feel after exams and finally remember that one equation I needed two hours ago.

[@AmyEdisaurus]

Love that song, thanks for posting. That's Steven Warner dancing with Gene Wilder. Richard Kiley played the pilot.

[@lautigonzalez1232]

Me gusta la pelicula de el principito como te extraño mucho 😂😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@jeffersond.c.5464]

I LOVE THIS SONG SINCE 2004

[@SoyPamuk]

Maravilloso e inolvidable

[@huanxi99]

lovely

[@gatospordoquier]

Bro, what luck, after seeing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I looked for the actor and the little prince came up, and it is one of my favorite books and since I was a child I watched a series of the little prince, so I was happy to know that he was in the movie, I already saw it and I loved it

[@gaboseries5252]

How could someone dislike this? It is true it's missing one slight piece but it's not that important Edit: Oh, the dislike's being removed. Nice

[@whisper8742]

I didn't know this existed... until now

[@katiehickey4539]

You're a wonderful fox!

[@LearningEnglishThroughStories]

it's really nice movie. thank you. My friend lead me here. :D

[@captaintoad-ef6zt]

thanks

[@reynoldsblackwater113]

Why is it every time I listen to a Tiny Tim I think of gene

[@lewisbreland]

I tamed a fox once. He didn't sing though. Lol😢

[@ightcloud2997]

Willy wonka

[@johnjames1320]

Wonka Willie

[@nadiaolson4316]

How is this both creepy and cute at the same time?

[@johnjames1320]

Just cute. Made in early 70s

[@maxiepattie85]

Not like on face, need not apply

[@halfofakitty]

I guess I'm the only one reading the Fox as pedophilic.... (and the ending as suicide)

[@jenniferfield805]

Yeah...you gotta remember the context....I love this scene!

[@shuukoanisong2897]

Is like weep says, this seems a little creepy maybe because he's a adult person but the movie is very inocent and haven't real connotations...you just must imagine him like the creature is performing

[@SuzanneNuttall]

Read the book and you will see it differently. Wilder is playing a fox, not a human being. After all, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

[@georges_biscuit4083]

Yea, the ending was sad... The Prince was a pretty cute little boy I just wanna squish his cheeks!

[@blytheheintz3481]

Not everyone is a creep. It’s more of a reflection of you than what was meant by the book or the movie, because it’s your interpretation

[@abadabababadaba4774]

This creeps me out. Total Cringe.

[@Countercloth]

Sorry for being late.. if you still feel this way, can I ask why? Not that it really matters- just curious.

[@syreetadukes4428]

This is why i love this genre of music. 😍😄🤗

[@PlayedOutGames]

Suicidal Seagull magic music

[@mylesgarcia4625]

@@dev0tn474 Well, it would be called "musical theatre" music. The songs advance characterization and the plot.

[@edwardnigma2638]
