Mary And Max  (2009) is a fantastic film with beautiful stop motion and a wonderful score. It’s poignant but not sappy. It’s funny but doesn't pander. It really hits every emotion. It just gets better every time I see it.

This short film is included on the Mary And Max  (2009) ( review ) Blu-ray. It's great.

Re-watched Mary And Max . So beautifully done in every regard (animation, music, voice-over). Really hits every emotion. A truly wonderful film.

Mary And Max  (2009) is a fantastic film. Beautiful claymation. Wonderful score. Poignant, but not sappy. Funny, but doesn't pander. Loved it. Thank you to Victoria for the suggestion.
