Cue the angry legions of devoted fans to the classic story.
I know there have been several adaptations of the story already. An animated one was released in 2015 (although I never watched it). I suspect someone must own some kind of rights.
But I'm also not sure this is the kind of story Disney develops. They'd probably change it radically. -

The Little Prince is a beautiful and tragic story. Does Disney do tragedies? If they cut out the tragic part, I think the story will lose a lot of its beauty. -

Well, I guess you could say that classic Disney animated features replace tragedy with happy endings.

So, sure, Disney could adapt The Little Prince and give him a clearly happier ending than the ambiguous one of the original story.
