Nice catch. The similarities are really close. Even the style of dress. Not that this should take away from Michael. Everybody is borrowing from something in the past (except Jimi Hendrix ). Just repackaging and refining to a new audience.
 
Also some give credit to Bill Bailey as the original moonwalker. Check around 2:03:

Unsolicited opinion...that "Little Prince" movie looks absolutely awful. 

Oh but nay... Jimi borrowed from Curtis Mayfield!

EDIT: I just watched it wit sound. It's better silent.

well said-I lasted about 20 seconds with the sound-too distracting from the moves.  

Even though that film was admired I agree with Craig...what an awful clip. And thought so when I first saw the film upon release. Bob is a much better dancer (and choreographer...though not singer) than this clip could ever show. El sucko in extremeo.
