For Melanie Coombs, producer of 'Mary and Max' and Oscar-winning short 'Harvie Krumpet', stop-motion animation has a magical quality - at once real, but not real - that touches audiences profoundly.
Mary and Max, the animated feature by the Oscar-winning team of writer/director Adam Elliot and producer Melanie Coombs has been selected to open the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
Academy Award winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) has joined an all-star line-up of Australian talent in lending his exceptional talent to voice the role of Max in the new claymation feature Mary and Max.
