Paramount's movie adaptation of the timeless French tale, "The Little Prince," gets the most heart-melting trailer, yet with the added bonus of a stellar voice cast.

The recently released English trailer of the movie revealed the heart-warming story of an unlikely friendship between "The Little Girl," voiced by Mackenzie Foy, and "The Aviator," portrayed by Jeff Bridges.

According to Deadline, Foy and Bridges are joined by actors and actresses who lent their voices to some of the most beloved characters of all time, including Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, James Franco, Paul Rudd, Ricky Gervais, Benicio Del Toro, Paul Giamatti, Bud Cort, and Albert Brooks as "The Businessman."

Under the careful direction of "Kung Fu Panda" director, Mark Osborne, the voice cast and crew of "The Little Prince" movie produced what the outlet described as a "gorgeous" adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's novella from the 1940s.

See for yourself.

"The Little Prince is gorgeous to look at - switching from modern-day colorburst animation to a classic-looking Gallic style," the outlet's report reads.

The script, penned by Bob Persichetti and Irena Brignull, follows the story of The Little Girl who has everything in life planned out for her by her misguided-but-well-meaning mother, voiced by "The Notebook" star, Rachel McAdams.

On a regular study night, she receives a mysterious note folded into a paper plane from an old bearded guy, who, for those who read the book, would come to know as the "Aviator."

With the trailer already revealing how the film will look, Cinema Blend believes that it will be as magical as the book that it was based on.

Based on the outlet's report, Paramount's, "The Little Prince," will be uniquely portrayed in a sort of two-in-one style.

According to the outlet, the little girl's story will follow the same storyline as the book, but portrayed in computer animation, while the part where The Aviator narrates The Little Prince's story will be depicted in stop motion animation.

"It gives that aspect a much more surreal feeling. We assume that the story that The Aviator tells is 'true' within the context of the film, but the change in style makes you wonder if it is real or just a story within a story," the report explained.

Another special aspect of the stop motion animation of the flick is its watercolor painting resemblance, which was inspired by the actual illustrations used in the book itself.

The movie adaptation of the classic tale has already premiered with the original French-language version in several countries, including its country of origin back in July. It is not due in U.S. theaters until March 18, 2016.
