The Inventor

About This Movie

So, 'The Inventor' is a fascinating twist on the classic tale of Leonardo da Vinci, really. Pierre-Luc Granjon captures this vibrant, almost whimsical energy of the Renaissance. The animation is rich, with a hand-drawn feel that gives it a unique texture, and the pacing flows nicely, allowing the viewer to soak in all the inventive chaos. Themes of curiosity, creativity, and the pursuit of knowledge are threaded through Leonardo’s adventures in the French court. The dynamic between him and Princess Marguerite brings out a delightful mix of humor and heart. There’s an authenticity in the way they depict his inventions, too—feels quite grounded despite the fantastical elements. The voice performances, especially, lend a warmth that complements the visual style beautifully.
