Mary and Max, a claymation animation playing at Edinburgh Film Festival, from a terrific animator-Adam Elliot. He has a really nice feel to his work, and the storylines are just perfect. A little bit obscure which is always a good thing, but just really really charming. It took a crazy 5 years to make!
I was craving for a bit more animated goodness so I did some more rummaging and found a short he made a few years back. It is incredible!! I had this silly grin on my face as I watched it.. and stabs of jealousy at times, but mostly awe! I adore strange endearing characters and I think Harvie Krumpet fits that description perfectly.
“The odd biography of a man who has Tourette’s Syndrome, chronic bad luck, menial jobs, nudist tendencies, and a book of “fakts” hung around his neck”
Harvie Krumpet
Watching animation always gets me a tad over excited, and I just had to, had to go find this…classic!
Big hurrah! :D
