Mediawan Kids & Family, an independent European multi-genre studio, has teamed up with The Sandbox to develop an immersive experience centered around "The Little Prince" – an all-time classic by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. 

Through this partnership, Mediawan Kids & Family will expand its field of activity and offer innovative experiences based on its iconic characters and famous IPs. This includes "The Little Prince," whose timeless character will debut in The Sandbox metaverse. Fans and players will be able to revisit Saint-Exupéry's hero in a brand new journey where they can enjoy a personalized experience around a "The Little Prince-themed NFT avatar" collection.

"We are delighted to pursue our privileged collaboration with The Saint-Exupéry-d’Agay estate by bringing 'The Little Prince' into the Metaverse with the Sandbox," said Julien Borde, President of Mediawan Kids & Family. "Kids & Families around the world dream with the 'Little Prince' since 80 years and we are thrilled to explore new ways of storytelling to perpetuate Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s values and bring them to new audiences."

"Bringing The Little Prince – one of the most globally known cultural icons of our times – into The Sandbox open metaverse is a meaningful moment for me," said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. "We hope to inspire a generation to dream of wonders and friendship and share their creations in a new format of storytelling and entertainment that goes beyond print or traditional media."

For many years, Mediawan Kids & Family has collaborated closely with the Saint-Exupéry-d'Agay estate to adapt The Little Prince's world for modern audiences. The Little Prince and Friends, a new animated TV series for preschoolers, will also hit the scene in September.
