Does the song at 1:35 have a name? I'd like to find out how to play it.

[ALYSSZ]

@gothbunnyrainbow The song is called 'Les grandes personnes sont comme ça' :)

What are the baobabs supposed to represent? 0_o

[ALYSSZ]

If I'm not wrong, they are supposed to represent "the evil". (Okay, not really evil - but they aren't good...) The little prince has to make sure his sheep can live on his planet. (L'astroide B615) But that's impossible when the boababs are all over the planet. (:

[SaritaWolf]

I know that, but I was thinking Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was trying to use them to represent something other than just "evil." *shrug* I dunno.

[ALYSSZ]

Hm, to be honest, I wouldn't know either.. I read the book a year ago, but I can't remember :p

Oh well, according to an online version of the book, the baobabs will make the planet split in pieces. I think it just represents "the evil". I can't think of anything else - at the moment.

The Baobabs represent how anything can get out of hand if you do not cultivate and care for it properly. It's not necessarily an evil, but the danger of what can happen. You can also look at it in the way of how growing up into to much of an adult can make you "destroy" parts of you that are important, so it's also another way of saying to never forget your childhood and grow up too much.

песня про баобабы моя самая любимая в этот мюзикле))

[yelcupid]

@SaritaWolf : If I'm not wrong, the planet represents our very soul, the rose is 'love' and the baobabs are the negative feelings (like hatred, greed, etc.). If we just ignore those feelings and let them as they are, some day they'll grow big enough to destroy your soul planet ^^ At least that's what I'm thinking. Le Petit Prince is great right, for it always makes us wonder ^^

[sassyseraph]

Most of the book is about innocence vs. experience. The baobobs represent the experience of life and cynicism coming in and spreading and growing and slowly destroying the innocence of youth (which Astroid B612 represents, along with LPP) Once a seed is planted, the cynicism will continue to grow, and plant other seeds of doubt in a child's mind as they grow up until they no longer see the sheep in the box

[JulieWinchester]

@SaritaWolf I can help with that. Antoine was European, if I recall well, and the book was written around WWII. What was the big plague in 1940s? Totalitarisms. 3 baobabs (in the drawing in the book at least), 3 dictators (Hitler, Staline, Mussolini)... Plus the analogy is good. You must prevent the baobabs growing, because when they're grown it's too late. You have to stop totalitarisms from being powerful. If you don't, you get big troubles like WWIII.

@ALYSSZ I know it comes way too late XD but it's the asteroid B-612 and not B-615.

[JamieLanelle72]

@ALYSSZ Perhaps the baobabs represent all the evils that the prince will encounter, because no matter what flaw or "evil" you have it becomes all consuming until eventually it eats you up. Hence the baobab introducing the of his travels. Plus they are something he must constantly be working at to remove from his planet- which is in essence his life. He must be constantly working doing easy but annoying work to keep his life free from the all consuming evils of this world.
