Etienne is swept up in wonder and work even as he struggles to keep up his grandiose façade, while every day his chances for happiness slip further away. For Etienne, taking a stand for his own happiness is as daring as any trick the Amazing Remarkable Leotard could perform. Eddie Campbell and Dan Best bring to life the historical story of the daring young man on the flying trapeze in a tale filled with wonders and marvels. </div></div> 2950850 5 8 2008 The Amazing Remarkable Monsieur Leotard total:72|5:10|4:15|3:36|2:10|1:1| 72 239 102 17 3 1 false false Tue Apr 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 15:49:08 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 15:49:37 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Feb 16 04:18:26 -0800 2009 Thu Mar 19 04:27:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Sep 09 06:25:38 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 06:25:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 19:51:50 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 19:56:32 -0700 2008
