Inventing flying contraptions, war machines and studying cadavers, Leonardo da Vinci tackles the meaning of life itself with the help of French princess Marguerite de Nevarre. I think it's a great idea to teach kids about history, especially those who feature so importantly in our current, modern lives. Film, especially animation like this, is an ideal way to educate young people. I would hope and expect many families went to see this although figures so far suggest not. For me there were too many tropes and mannerisms from today thrown in. Like the cartoon figure sawing at his neck in that Americanism that means 'cut', or 'stop talking.' I think it was dumbed down too far and felt ultra childish. Kids are much more astute than we give them credit for and while the animation was done very nicely, I feel the presentation of the material was done by those who simply don't understand kids. I couldn't watch til the end as it's not for my age group and was annoying me. But for those with younger children they might enjoy it.

Wonderful charming movie! Both the stop motion and 2d animation are absolutely amazing, and the beautiful craftsmanship in this movie absolute testament to how stop motion animation stands alongside and sometimes above computer animation. The voice acting is all very very well done, I especially loved the Pope (though in parts the music can drown it out somewhat) and I really thought Leonardo's internal conflict throughout the whole movie. Highly recommend this movie to anyone even remotely interested in Italian Renaissance history, stop motion animation, art and the act of creation, or wants to see a beautifully told story about humanity and art.

I loved this film. Originally when I seen it in theatre I traveled one and half hours to see and it did not disappoint. I have also watched it multiply times since then. This film it beautiful and well told. I love the mix of stop motion with 2D animation. The film is well paced and has a huge fan of Leonardo Da Vinci and animation is a must see. This film is very touching but does have some humor (the gags are wonderful in it) Not only is the animation and storytelling beautiful but it has a wonderful soundtrack that will stay with you after watching the film. Overall great film and think everyone should give it a watch.
