Edison and Leo
Edison and Leo is a 2008 stop-motion animated feature film produced by Perfect Circle Production and Infinity Entertainment. It is Canada's first stop-motion animated feature.
The film is about the relationship between crazy scientist George Edison and his son Leo. After being electrocuted as a child, Leo is no longer able to touch people without electrocuting them.
Powers Boothe, Gregory Smith and Carly Pope voice the main characters of Edison, Leo and Zella.[1] It is one of the first stop-motion feature films to not target the family audience, and is being distributed in Canada by TVA Film.
Technical director Jean-Luc Dinsdale used Automatic Duck to arrange the film.[2]
The film's world premier was on September 4th, 2008, as the Opening Film of the Canada First section at the Toronto International Film Festival. Toronto International Film Festival Programmer Jesse Wente said about it: "The animation is so gorgeous it almost made me vomit - in a good way - when you see the scene you’ll know what I mean" [3].
