London, June 3 (ANI): A video showing an adorable baby girl in the role of Iron Man has become an Internet sensation after it was posted on YouTube.
The short film, called Iron Baby, features little Margaret transforming from toddler to ironclad superhero, and it has attracted a whopping 2.6million views.
Margaret’s dad Patrick Boivin, a self-taught filmmaker from Montreal, Canada, had directed the clip.
The film starts with baby Margaret playing with some toys before being transformed into the armour wearing Iron Man, based on the film’s main character Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jnr.
The tiny tot then flies off to battle machine gun toting bunny rabbits that are destroyed with a laser bolt fired from the palm of her hand.
The movie, which Boivin made with 3D artist pal Jocelyn Simard, took two months to make and cost virtually nothing, and it has even reached Hollywood, with Boivin saying he has had offers from movie producers.
“It’s a way of showing what we can do together to companies who are interested in working with us,” the Sun quoted him as saying.
“It has been a success for me. I’m pretty sure I’m going to do some more clips with my girl,” he added. (ANI)
