      Boo and humbug.

      How is the little prince overrated?

      He’s not some huge pop icon.

      Oh unless, is he some huge pop icon where you’re from?

        It was a global success (translated into over 500 languages and has sold over 140 million copies). That doesn’t seem like much compared modern movies or TV shows, but for a book those are really good numbers. Dr. Seuss sold over 600 million books but that’s spread over 60 different titles. Could be a generational thing. I remember seeing “The Little Prince” in a lot of homes in the 80s.

            Me, too. It’s an interesting choice.
