Alien at the Movies

The Inventor

This stop action animation film features the story of the famed renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci. He was insatiably curious about astronomy, anatomy, architecture, science, flying machines, mechanical gears., & so much more. He was a deep thinker & inventor… a man before his time. Some of his ideas were thought to be heresy. Thus in 1516, Leonardo would leave Italy for France so he could experiment freely. Short sighted leaders could only think of symbols of power so they only wanted da Vinci to build for them statues & war machines. This amusing film is better suited for adults & older kids rather than little children expecting typical cartoon humor. 

Alien gives it 2½ “the ideal city” stars out of 4.
