* Director: Jim Capobianco
* Length: 9 minutes, 31 seconds
“Leonardo” is an animated film that chronicles the conception and experimentation of some of Leonardo Da Vinci’s most famous designs. The star of the film is Da Vinci himself, portrayed as a character that’s drawn in such an endearing way that he would fit right in with the cast of a Disney/Pixar movie. Toward the beginning, you see images of some of Da Vinci’s blueprints, and realize that the animation style is based off of them. It’s creatively simple.
Although by today’s standards the animation would be considered crude, in its crudity lies the film’s charm. And this is a charming little movie. It has a hopeful message and ends on an extremely high note that, as cliché as it sounds, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Couple that with the amazing music, performed by Sirinu, and you have a short film put together by someone you’d really like to see more from.
