Mary and Max is a claymation feature film from the creators of the Academy Award-winning short animation Harvie Krumpet.
It is a simple tale of pen-friendship between two very different people; Mary Dinkle, a chubby lonely 8-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max Horovitz, a 44-year-old, severely obese, Jewish man with Asperger's Syndrome living in the chaos of New York.

Although the film is not out until 2009, an official website has been created, which although still under construction, is well worth checking out. The art and animation is beautiful and there are some great little behind the scenes videos that have been put up as well.
