At least you don't have to see Force Awakens before Rogue One if you don't want to. (Apologies for the "for dummies" on here: [link] )
Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Oh, cool! This looks like the perfect way to ease into the new way of doing things, then. I already know the Big Thing that happens in Force Awakens (yes, I read all the blocked print at the time) so I should at least go pick up the nuances.
It's a Netflix original movie, so I wasn't sure if I should put this here or in Streaming, but you should all go run and check out their stop motion version of The Little Prince. I found it exquisite and nearly bawled my head off at the end. It stays relatively truthful to the book, in the best ways; it definitely put me in the same frame of mind as Up. The only problem I had with it was I found the framing device they used to tell the little Prince's story a little heavy-handed at times. Still, cried.
There was a version of Little Prince with Gene Wilder as the Fox. I have to be in the mood for that much crying to deal with The Little Prince.

The first time JZ saw Gene Wilder I think.
There are a few companies who make stuffed Little Prince Foxes. I want one. Some of them are pretty bizzare, though. I want to find one that seems friendly, although bizzare.
I also want a stuffed Toothless, but I haven't found the right one yet. And maybe an Appa.
I have a problem, don't I?
Nope! I want a Toothless (I almost go the Build-A-Bear version), and I have an Appa.
I want to buy a bunch of balloons to tie to him so he can fly, while I run around yelling "Yip yip!"
I have bought my children a Toothless and an Appa (back in the brief window when you could get Avatar characters).
But not a Little Prince Fox.
My son has a Toothless. My wife really wants an Appa, but the only ones I could find when she mentioned it were the movie abomination version.
I have no need for a Toothless, my black cat is basically the same if you substitute leaping freakouts for wings and destroying stuff by knocking it over rather than shooting lightning bolts at it. (Though her most impressive feat was destroying a floor lamp, so there may have been an electrical explosion involved...)
