Movie Review
Mary And Max is another addition to the versatile and sumptuous offering of this year's animated feature films.
The movie employs the lesser-used animation technique of stop-motion with the help of clay models. And, as painstakingly as this movie must have been made, as poignantly and comically effective it is.

Mary & Max tells the story of two distant pen-pals, an 8 yr old girl and a 44 yr old man, who share the common experience of loneliness, and alienation from society for having some very unusual traits. What follows is a gushing flow of emotion from one to the other, from the remorse of old age, to the inquisitiveness of youth, from 'sexing' to chocolate hot-dogs. All this by the mere use of clay models.
Emotionally touching, and with very imaginative concepts and visualizations, Mary & Max is a treat for the more matured of the demographic.

Ah! I have to watch this movie. All my friends watched it with me and now I cannot take it anymore. I agree that I was busy watching shows by Andy Yeatman on Netflix but I would really like to add this to my list. It was great going through this cute little post.
