EDISON AND LEO

In your typical family, the father is not a magnetic, amoral and womanizing genius; the deceased mother is not immortalized by a 12-metre metallic replica; the youngest son does not have electricity literally crackling through his veins; and the older son – together with his robotic wiener dog, Pickle - does not pledge to overthrow the entire family order. The Edison family, however, is far from typical. And Edison and Leo is far from your typical stop-motion animated feature film.
