Fantastic Movie!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 April 2013)

I always say Australian films aren't great and as an Australian I don't really enjoy many movies made in my home country and I find mainstream actors like Hugh Jackman to be overrated in my opinion, sorry Jackman fans. But this film, made in Australia, is a rare one because I love this film period. The story of the film was great it shows the developing friendship between the two pen pals. The animation was incredible too with splendid smooth movement of the character unlike the clunky and weird stop-motion of Harviee Krumpt, which I do like. The music was nice and catchy too, especially the theme song as well. But if I have to choose my favorite scene, it has to be the ending when Mary found Max dead peacefully in his apartment room and when she saw all the mementos that Max kept from her all the way from childhood such as the pictures and the letters was emotional to watch, I nearly cried there at the ending. I recommend this movie and I liked this very much and its really one of my favorite animated movies of all time. You can feel the character's emotion and understand what they go through throughout this movie. Fantastic work and story.
