The Adventures of the Little Prince (1978)

Based on the character from the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry novella, when the little prince isn't tending to the baobab trees and volcanoes on his tiny planet, he's catching a passing shooting star, usually with his butterfly net, and traveling to other worlds. Each episode he hitches a ride some place, usually Earth, where he meets and adventures with a person (or creature) and all involved learn a lesson or two. And when the next shooting star passes overhead, the little prince flies back home alone.
