Mary and Max (2009)

 Here is one of my favorite movies as of late, "Mary and Max" directed by Adam Elliot is an amazing Full-length Clay Stop-Animation. This movie is NOT for kids but is quite enjoyable for adults. The reason for this not being for kids is because of the subjects that it hits on throughout the movie ranging from mental disorders, to suicide, to bullying, etc... There's not a lot of subjects that it doesn't decide to tackle during the 92min run-time of this movie. However with all of the seriousness that comes with the various issues the director does an amazing job of keeping you laughing through the entire film. You can watch this film streaming from Amazon.com. Another piece from this same director is a short called "Harvie Krumpet" which is done in the same style but is only about 22min long. Hope that you guys will go and try them out, you won't regret it.
You can check out a synopsis of Mary and Max at IMDB.com if you're interested.
I'll embed both the "Harvie Krumpet" short below as well as a trailer for "Mary and Max". ENJOY!!
