See for yourself when The Inventor comes to theaters on September 15th. The songs are catchy, the jokes are timed perfectly, and the voice cast delivers incredible performances. This film is not just fun, it is educational too. While it is a bit slow at times, it ultimately clocks in at a decent runtime of just under one hundred minutes. There is no doubt that he is a brilliant man, and this stop motion animated adaptation of his life is sure to teach and inspire, just as the man himself did. The Inventor details the life of Leonardo da Vinci, and in particular the struggles he had to go through in order to conduct his studies, which ultimately truly helped to shape and advance society and medicines. Which is perfect considering the role he plays in this story. He has a comedic energy that surrounds him, and his voice, that just makes you giggle. Stephen Fry is wonderful as Leonardo da Vinci, but it is Matt Berry and his ridiculous sense of humor that steals the show every time Pope Leo X is on screen. When it comes to the voice cast, they are all incredible. The two styles weaves together to make The Inventor special and unique. It is used to enhance the storytelling and set apart these specific plot points with different visuals. The 2D animation doesn’t come into play all that often, but every time that it does, it makes sense in the story. There is nothing quite like seeing Leonardo da Vinci’s assistant carrying a dead body and trying to convince the King that it is just a drunk man - in stop motion animation. And they do it in a fun way that is entertaining and filled with catchy musical numbers, while also offering a lot of laugh out loud moments. What works so well about this film is that it takes viewers on a journey where they are likely to learn, at least a little bit, about Leonardo’s life that they did not know. Synopsis: 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. The Inventor would not exist without the labor of the writers and actors in both unions.
