Hey there, time traveller!

An animated film written by a prominent Winnipegger will have its premium cable TV premiere in December.
Edison and Leo, a Vancouver-made film scripted by Guy Maddin collaborator George Toles, will begin airing Dec. 20 on HBO Canada.
Network officials announced the schedule earlier this week.
The 79-minute comedy, about a crazy scientist and his son, was released in 2008. Directed by Toronto-based Neil Burns, it is billed as Canada’s first stop-motion animated film.
Toles teaches film and theatre at the University of Manitoba. He has co-written many of Winnipeg auteur Maddin’s films, including his recent hit My Winnipeg.
