"There are some stories no child should live without and no adult should ever forget." 

For an ordinary trailer, that platitude could elicit an eye roll, but Netflix proved how much it cared for Mark Osborne's The Little Prince when it picked up the film in March for U.S. distribution. A new trailer from the streaming service goes right to the heart of the beloved story, which will be available on Aug. 5.

The Little Prince was originally set to be distributed in the U.S. by Paramount, until Osborne announced via Twitter that it would be delayed. The film features the voice talents of Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Benicio Del Toro and more – including Jeff Bridges, who narrates the trailer as the Aviator.
