The Happy Prince - Part 1

[simonbild67]

Part of my childhood ,had no idea it was Wilde , such a beautiful piece of work

[projecttopman29]

my god this brings back very happy memories of my childhood

[Beetlebug202]

I'm looking for another version, also animated- has anyone else seen it, or remember watching it? It was on British t.v about 15 or more years ago, when i watched it as a kid, but looked older than that, so was probably a repeat. It was in stop-motion, not drawn, and completely set to music, like an opera. It was beautiful- but I can't find it anywhere, not even a mention of it... any ideas????????? thanks.

[gramboliciousness]

Been trying to recall this for some while now, 37 years since I saw it, I was 6. I finaly found the name of it on google and here it is.

This internet thing might just catch on.

[michou881]

Thank you for this video

[mujgan02]

awesome i loved<3 it so much.And i remembered my childhood

[erica42285]

Thank you for posting this! I watched it as a child and it was so wonderful to come across it again. Truly. Thank you.

[oroszm]

I checked many times when I was a kid. I loved this story. Still very touched. It is part of my life. Respect from Hungary.

[squishhhhug]

I remembered this when as a child and did learn the leasson and actually applied it to mmy life.

It is also reminded me of jesus and love for one another and everyone should be treated well and thats what it is like to be godlike in a way , when one loves everyone enough to give up ones own life or even lifestyle. I got the message in this toon because children will pick out the lessons that end in good. Its too bad the children actually are tought NOT TO CARE through their lives.

[ciddlylife]

Thank you so very much for putting this on youtube for us. I haven't seen it since I was probably 10 years old and it brings me right back to my livingroom, crying my little eyes out. I really appreciate you sharing it with us.

[Mistermuggz]

Look! Not one dislike!

[Mistermuggz]

The Swallow and the Happy Prince, along with all of Old England, will live in my heart.

[MizzChrissy2088]

@ladgefull Lol! Same here. I was just thinking about it a minute ago. For some reason the movie Hugo got me thinking about that cartoon about Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, then suddenly the "Happy Prince" came to mind. My connections are a bit weird O_o.

[lydiamond12]

I don't know why I put myself through this...I know I'm going to cry. I cry throughout because I know what is going to happen and then I cry so much at the end. I need to get a grip here...so sad yet beautiful.x

[nayomade]

great,, thanks for this animation.. such a great work

[underworldmad1]

my dad has been telling me out this film ever since i was little girl and i have been wanting to see it for years and i have finally found it <3 xxxxx

[VickySherGill438]

I Read This Story In Class 10th, And I Like It, Its Very Heart Touching Story, And The Message Conveyed By The Author Is True Happiness Comes From Serving The poor And The Needy. God Also Blesses Such Parsons. It Is Clear From The Examples Of The Happy Prince And The Swallow. The Happy Prince Gives His All For The Sake Of The Poor. The Poor Swallow Sacrifices His Life For The Sake Of The Happy Prince. God Blesses Both Of Them. He Gives Them Place In His Paradise.

[kamkambyaping]

This was very touching me. It tough me how to "Share" "Love" and "Sacrify"

[TheSpamchops]

I cannot even tell the story to people without crying! It is lovely though

[OneEyedJack1970]

I remember how this story really choked me up as a kid, and it still does. Thanks for the upload.

[elijah7k]

@OneEyedJack1970 I hear you, it happen to me too.

[erox1989]

I read the story when I was a kid and it really touched me!

[1968TonyJ]

Watched this film on Xmas Day about 1976 and cried my eyes out. I've never forgotten it. This is the first time I've seen it since then.

[sonoflecter]

[schaapje35]

OMG there is a dislike button on this story... Can anyone fix this mistake?

[TheMomberg]

This is the most Wonderful adaption of Oscar Wilde's Story to Anamation, and I know he will be very Happy!! And Thankful!

[nicoyadoll]

I still have these vhs tapes. I used to love them when I was little.

[nettieheartful]

I like this version!

[YooHee32]

We are recently studying this in our literature subject, I never thought it has a animated film, it has a wonderful story and it almost make me cry.

[azzorroww]

this story is brilliant , wilde was really commenting on the social structure of england of his day, and when the prince's gold was stripped away as was wilde during his trial the really double standard society had then and even to a lesser degree today the story is respectful also to its time period in refrence to the illustration of ships, artetechture and chimmney sweepers so it had a wonderful aspect of historical accuracy never remove these stories youtube we need to see them.

[Ruoter1]

guys we're having a play on this story and i can't find the music. plz if anyone can find the background music of this film. plz give a link.

[klausyboyjnr]

Pure Gold, what joy sadness can bring!



[PaulinetheGreat5]

I loved this short movie. It was very touching at Christmas time in the 80s (long before reality shows filled up our schedules). If it is never shown on TV again then there is no justice in the world!

[dawnchats]

The Happy Prince influenced me profoundly......before I could even process it.....He has always been a part of me

[andreina001]

ALGUIEN M PUED DECIR SI HAY LA VERSION SUBTITULADA O EN ESPAÑOL PLIS....

I remember seeing this as a child and it touched me so much. I'm so pleased to have found this again. :)

[MemoriesOnTheMoon]

thank you for posting this!

[sanchoclause007]

What? I can't belive I finally found it here on Youtube, Thank you, thank you very much for uploading this, this is the most beautiful story I had ever seen!!!

[annut123]

Does anybody know where I can buy this movie?

[0kyokyo0]

@annut123 When I was a child I had a VHS with this story and others Oscar Wilde's stories. Maybe now you can find it in DVD... but it would be susprising!

[annut123]

@0kyokyo0 I did find it on Ebay right before Christmas. Talk about lucky! Watched it with the kids and it was just like I remember it!

[eroslesbos]

When I was a toddler, this film brought me to tears each Christmas. Then, for some reason, TV stations stopped showing it. I haven't seen it for almost 30 years !! This is now my son's 2nd Christmas watching it, with his mother and I alongside him. I first saw this when I was about the age he is now (5). I cannot express to you my gratitude for posting this.

[wiganrugby]

@eroslesbos same here, used to be reduced to tears when this was on

[zara2255]

Thanks so much ! Wonderful ! :)

[nancyl2]

Ummmmmm First time I have seen this. Sent by My Angel being. Such a delightful Saturday. : -) THANK YOU!! <3

[OronOfMontreal]

I didn't realise that it is Canadian-made. All the better!

[garthmacin]

A masterpiece :)

[genchandy]

The happy prince is soooo an angel!

[katinaanimator]

This is probably one of the saddest - and most beautiful - animated films ever made.

[onlyratesgoodthings]

@katinaanimator Do they still sell this film?

[davidsestakcz]

It is not sad:)) They did the best they can and they finally reach The God:D Sacrifice, endure and forgive.

Most beautiful film and story.

[Tsubahi]

I didn't think much of this cartoon at the time, but now it's a remarkable one as I look upon it once again.:)

[horsepg]

Thanks So much for this! I love this movie!

[carlosluz70]

Thank you! Before watching this when I was still a child, I never thought cartoons can make one cry, but such were sweet tears.

[mimale19741974]

Thank you, have been looking for this on and off for I don't know how many years. Amazing story.

[ernestordzj]

me trae recuerdos de mi infancia, la verdad una bonita historia llena de mensaje, crei que no volveria a verla...gracias por ponerla aqui, ojala mucha gente la disfrute como nosotros.

[jackyleesam]

awe, thanks so much I loved this story as a kid! x

[intrepidlikes]

The Remarkable Rocket, the Happy Prince and the Selfish Giant. All animated stories of Oscar Wilde by the same production company. Does anybody know if there were other animated films produced by the same company? I only remember these three which I used to watch over and over on tv around christmas time.

[EmilyGrace63]

beautiful story of my childhood....yes it was during christmas that we had the chance to see wonderfull story. The end still makes me cry!!!!!

[GILHADAR1]

WOW 'TANXֱֱֱֱ I LOVE IT
