More awards for Mary and Max
June 26th 2009 04:41
Mary and Max continues its dream run overseas, picking up the Grand Crystal Best Feature award at the prestigious Annecy International Animation Festival held in France. The award is jointly shared with US animated feature Coraline (directed by Henry Selick) as the jury couldn’t decide between the two! Annecy is regarded as the largest Animation festival in the world, so it’s a huge coup for the Mary and Max team.
RUNNING TIME: 92 minutes
CAST:
Mary – Toni Collette
Max – Philip Seymour Hoffman
Narrator – Barry Humphries
Damien – Eric Bana
Young Mary – Bethany Whitmore
Vera – Renee Geyer
DIRECTOR: Adam Elliot
WRITING CREDITS: Adam Elliot
DISTRIBUTOR: ICON DENDY FILMS
SYNOPSIS: Sometimes strangers make the best friends.
Mary and Max is a claymation feature film. It is a simple tale of pen-friendship between two very different people; Mary Dinkle, a chubby lonely eight year old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne with little or no friends to speak of , and Max Horovitz, a 44 year old, severely obese, Jewish man with Asperger's Syndrome living in the chaos of New York.
Spanning 20 years and 2 continents, Mary and Max's friendship survives much more than the average diet of life's ups and downs. Like Harvie Krumpet, MARY AND MAX is innocent but not naïve, as it takes us on a journey that explores friendship, autism, taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, where babies come from, obesity, kleptomania, sexual difference, trust, copulating dogs, religious difference, agoraphobia and much much more.
