Come dressed as a Gnome for a free movie

By sir warren b leonhardt on January 26, 2011

Tribute.ca has announced that a Guinness World Record attempt will be…attempted?…this February in Toronto. What for, pray tell? From the original article:

“…for the largest gathering of people dressed as garden gnomes on Family Day — Monday, February 21, 2011 in Toronto. The event will be held at AMC Theatre, Yonge and Dundas at 9:30 a.m. and an official judicator will be present. The first 400 people to arrive in costume will receive a free ticket to the family-friendly activities and the morning screening of Gnomeo & Juliet in 3D, which follows. “

Full disclosure: I worked on this film. I haven’t seen the final cut but you should go see it, especially if you like gnomes. It’s your dang patriotic duty if you work in animation in Toronto. Gotta give those new Starz Animation investors a reason to keep hiring.

AND – hopefully you’ll all show up as the beauty pictured below. Just sayin. More Hi-res pics of the work from Starz Toronto can be found at Stitchkingdom.com

Warren Leonhardt spent too much time watching tv, reading comics, or doodling in his math textbooks to really pay attention, but he thinks he was raised the Kootenays of British Columbia by two grownups and a sister. After realizing that cartoons and animated films don’t make themselves but were actually made by people, he decided to become one of those people. Over time he’s managed to fool companies like House of Cool, Disney Canada, Spümcø, Sony Pictures Animation, Blue Sky Studios and Corus into actually paying him money to draw funny pictures and generally goof around as a storyboard artist for animated features and television. He currently lives in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada with his long-suffering wife and toddler. In between drawing till his hand falls off and fending off the wildlife invading his property, he interviews people more interesting than himself for CAR.CA.
