Its a simple tale of pen-friendship between two very different people; Mary Dinkle, living in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and New Yorker Max Horovitz. Spanning 20 years and 2 continents, Mary and Max's friendship survives much more than the average diet of life's ups and downs. "Adam Eliot's Mary and Max, a dark-but-semi-sweet Claymation mini-masterpiece of New Globalism, in which a neglected Australian girl begins a pen pal relationship with an obese New Yorker with Asperger's (voiced by Philip Seymour Hoffman). This is a rousingly gritty fable landing more poetry and caricatural wit than the intensely WASPy Fantastic Mr. Fox, and puts a cherry on top of the animated-year-that-was 2009." The Village Voice
