I remember seeing a children’s animated movie in the 90’s. It was probably around 1996 or 1997 when I saw it. All I remember is that there was a redheaded little boy (could have been blonde) and the scene showed the boy sitting on a planet and you could see the whole planet under him. I also remember him and a man searching through the desert for water and they saw a mirage and ran toward it thinking there was water. This movie was in color and in English.
I don ‘t remember this as s movie, but that sounds just like the book The Little Prince.
You’re describing “The Little Prince,” which has been adapted for screen several times. If the version you saw was claymation it was probably this one from 1979.
sounds like one of the many adaptations of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry “The Little Prince.” maybe the 1979 claymation version directed by Will Vinton?
I don’t know if that has already been said, but it’s probably an adaptation of The Little Prince
