DVD Review "MARY AND MAX" Score B+ 88%

This animation is out of the book of Wallace and Gromit-ville (if you haven't seen any of their films check em out). The stop motion claymation of these characters is brilliantly done. And the odd black and white look, but not shot in black and white lends even more charm to this odd tale. The storyline is definitely nothing like you've seen before. I found myself chuckling and smiling throughout this one. Really enjoyable piece of film making. Its more for adults almost more than it is for children. The tale is told mostly from the view of the pen pal letters being read with lots of visuals to be found along the way in the descriptions as the letters are read outloud. Top notch character work combined with this odd yet fun story is spread out over a beautiful back drop of clay figure animation. Check this one out for a good time.
