I my case, it is precisly said animated film. I don't remember why, but I found it incredibly off-putting for some reason. I think back on it every time someone brings up The Little Prince.

I'm curious what you found off-putting about it, if you don't mind elaborating :)
You want each emotion with assigned numerical value from 0 to 10, I presume...
I'm not sure how I am supposed to interpret your comment, what did you mean by that?

My aim was to start a positive dialogue with zppln about why the book didn't land with him or why it was off-putting. I'm happy to discuss it with you as well, but if your comment was just meant to be negative then I'll pass.

Apparently nobody read the damn book. There is a section where he describes how adults only understands numerically measurable quantities.
I must admit, that went right over my head–but you're right and what a great connection
I actually did consider that this is what you were referencing, but truly wasn't sure how to interpret your comment. Sorry I ruined the joke!
