Embark on an exciting journey with perhaps the greatest genius of all time in a humorous story inspired by the life and times of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo works diligently in Italy, but the Pope is not a fan of his creations. The endlessly curious and stubborn inventor thus leaves Italy to join the French court, where he can freely experiment, invent flying machines and incredible contraptions, and study the human body. There, Leonardo, along with the brave Princess Marguerite, uncovers the answer to a fundamental question: What is the meaning of it all? He realizes that the meaning of life cannot be found in material things or in fame. The meaning of life lies in discovering the beauty and mysteries of the world. An honest tale of the power of human creativity, delivered with warmth, charm, and the humor of animated classics. This family-friendly film is brought to you by the creators of the hit Ratatouille.
