This is what the film medium was invented for........Holliwood super writers making 100 million dollar films, don't have 1/100th of the emotion produced in this film.
this is such a great video, it just goes to show that someone can spend an entire movie trying to touch a persons heart but truly it can be done in just 7 minutes. adam elliot is an amazing story teller. very moving
@Bapho23 If you look at the Grandfather's tombstone in Mary and Max it says, "His memory will live on, his wisdom we'll keep, God saw he was tired and put him to sleep." I love this line as well and seems Adam Elliot does too.
I've seen both those movies. Whilst Up was brilliant (like everything else by Pixar), I didn't think it was as strong as Mary and Max, that's just a personal thing. The Academy recognized Adam Elliot once, they'll probably do it again.
its amazing to know how people like adam elliot see the world
the difference is what i think entertaining

Truly a great piece of work.

Thank you for uploading this film.
I have just watched 'Mary and Max' and 'Cousin' and am a new convert to the incredible work of Adam Elliot.
I think it is so important that he explores a world which is real and so frequently ignored by the film industry.

I enjoy all of Adam Elliot's work thus far. Mary & Max deserves an Oscar nomination at least.

I'm sure it will be nominated. But everyone knows the Oscar is going to Up.
