Mary and Max is a feature film from the creators of the Academy Award winning short animation. It is simple tale of pen-friendship between two very different people; Mary,chubby lonely eight year old girl living with monstrous mother and taxidermist father.,and Max a 44 year old,severely obese,Jewish man.At the post office one day, she randomly picks a name out of a New York phone book. That name is Max Jerry Horowitz.They start writing each other, and continue to write each other throughout their lives, filling the role of, literally, the only friend each other has.it's honest about depression; it's extremely funny in places without falling into the slapstick trap.This movie recalls me "Amelie" movie with events at its beginning and conclusion.Her mother is drawn perfectly especially her lips.she has toys which she designs herself and she gets hook on a cartoon and whipped cream love.What I totally love about the film, is how each scene comes chock full of sight and verbal gags, that just begs for more than one repeated viewing just to take it all in. It tells you a lot about the labors of love from the filmmakers in stuffing every moment with something to take away from, and something new to discover each time you watch the film, enriching the previous viewing experience. There's also plenty of animation going on in the film, with sequences crafted full of humor each time any character thinks of something, or flashes back in reminiscence, confirming that there is no effort spared in really making this an animated film to remember.
For this movie words fail me, it is short of words.I enjoy so much Mary's theory about childbirth.I give nine out of ten to this movie.If you want to have a good time,you will watch this movie.
