My toddler also looked a bit like the Little Prince. Plus, it's a wonderful film. I first saw this when I was about three or four - my family didn't realise it's a musical about death and, as such, not 100% suitable family viewing.... But it is such a wonderful film and it contains almost some of my favourite performers; Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Bob Fosse and the incomparable Gene Wilder. Gene Wilder's performance is heartbreaking. He writes in his autobiography that just filming the last scene in the wheat field he received the news his father had died. The director, Stanley Donen, directed two of my other favourite films - Funny Face and Bedazzled.
