I've just been to a preview screening of Mary and Max, the new animation by Oscar-winning Harvey Krumpet writer/director, Adam Elliot.
I absolutely adored this film. Visually, it is spectacular to look at and it has a simple, touching story. The film is about the twenty year pen-friendship that forms between an eight year-old Mary in Australia and a forty-something year-old Max in New York.
Whatever I say about this film will sound trite, so I won't try to review it, only say that films like this one inspire my storytelling and motivate me to try harder. Never a bad thing!
Definitely see this one if you can.

ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, caught this over the weekend - just wonderful. Nice to see all of the dopey parents with kids in tow ushering them out of the cinema every ten minutes...
