Which is the "original" version?

Which is the "original" version: the English or the French one?

I know it's a USA-France coproduction, but it has an English-speaking director.

Thanks!

Originally there was an Japanese anime version which was dubbed into English using American porn actors, then re-dubbed with A-list Hollywood stars after the porno-voice version got traction. They were going to do a live action re-imagining of the anime but couldn't get the budget so they settled on re-animating the anime, which was ridiculously Loli - if you can, check out some of the trees in the anime, they're obscene - but re-using the Hollywood voice-recordings with a BUNCH of fill-in from foley artists.

The French names in the cast are mainly Canadian.

The only original version of The Little Prince (2015) is the English version. The French version is just a regular dub.

Beg to differ. The original text is in French ;-)

Yes, but did you know the English translation was published first?
