LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The makers of "Chicken Run" will travel to the
desert to find a boy from outer space.

Pathe is set to adapt Antoine de Saint-Exupery's classic story "The Little
Prince" into an animated film, according to the BBC.

"Prince" centers on a pilot who crash-lands in the desert only to find a
unique boy who claims to be a prince from another planet. The prince
recounts fantastical tales about his travels and who he meets.

"'The Little Prince's' magical words and images are deeply rooted in the
imagination of generations of children around the world," says Francois
Ivernel, managing director of Pathe. "We intend to make a feature film that
uses the very best animation techniques and talents."

A 1974 live action version of the story starred Gene Wilder and Bob Fosse. 
"Prince" was first published in 1943 and has sold 25 million copies
worldwide, in over 150 different languages.
