The narrator practically describes everything that's going on, which makes it more of a visual audiobook than a movie. I enjoyed the art style and Phillip Seymour Hoffman's voicework, but the audiobook style narration gets annoying after the first 30 minutes. Very disturbing and an unenjoyable experience

Sublime. Balance between light and shade in the story is almost perfect, wonderful animation, script and soundtrack, and for such a simple yet poignant story, it evokes a variety of different emotions and themes, so much so, as Max so eloquently put it, it feels like they're in a tumble dryer. Truly touching and I would definitely recommend it.

The story becomes repetitive although the detailed visuals hold the eye.

'Astonishing' doesn't do it justice. Beautifully animated, wonderfully written and voiced, with many moments of outstanding wit, humour, and creativity. Most brilliantly of all is this movies perfect pacing and tone that gets darker and darker right up until the perfect ending. One of my favourite animated movies ever.

Dark stop-motion animation full of soul, creativity and genius in every detail. The characters are both bizarre and charming and their world seems decadent and lifeless, as if to expose the real face of contemporary urban centers. Inspired direction soon make us forget that we are faced with plasticine puppets, taking us through a plot that easily join comedy and tragedy. Always clever, ironic and poetic, it all makes us think about what are really the most important things of this life.

I'll get the one tiny complaint out of the way first: yes, the movie needed more dialog and less narration. Now that that's out of the way, this is a beautiful movie. In every sense of the word: Gorgeous animation that perfectly compliments the tone of the story; a clever, witty sense of humor; characters I deeply cared about; and a perfectly-paced, deeply moving story that, while simple, really struck an emotional chord with me. This just became my favorite animated film of all time.

Sometimes it's really depressing, sometimes funny, sweet. Oh man if I was depressed it would've made me cry. It's just really really good

Harvey Krumpet was very enjoyable in the way it drew you in to Elliot's world of humour counter balanced with tragedy. Mary and Max is a solid lengthier creation of that style and perhaps, for me, it's biggest downfall is its length. I feel the narration, the plot, the scenes and simply Elliot's very recogniseable style and feel has a much better place in animated shorts. This dragged on in an unfortunate way for me. And I found that a great pity.

It's cute and watchable for adults, but why all the love? No real reason to seek this out if you ask me.

A completely affecting and brilliant animation. In equal parts funny and heartbreaking. It's beautiful to watch and the script was amazing. The juxtaposition between the overall themes of the movie and the way they are handled is outstanding. Great voice work too.

Had terrible pacing, but a lot of genuine humor and interest. I loved the art style too.

Beautiful gem.

'Harvey Krumpet' light. Even if it's not as incredible and energetic as said short, this is a fully successful stab at telling a dark story in a light-hearted way. I find Elliot's style refreshingly peculiar, and his humour is constantly amusing, if never all-out hilarious. It can all get slightly too repetitive but overall it's a pleasant and worthwhile watch.
