Breaking news - Mary and Max has just won The Grand Crystal Best Feature award at the prestigeous Annecy Animation Festival. The Award is jointly shared with Coraline (d: Henry Sellick - Laika Entertainment/Universal Pictures).
Annecy is the ‘Cannes of Animation’ and is where Harvie Krumpet (the Oscar winning short film also written and directed by Adam Elliot and produced by Melanie Coombs) began its journey winning three Annecy awards back in 2003.
This award comes hot on the heels of Mary and Max’s success at Stuttgart Animation Festival (Grand Jury Prize) and Zagreb Film Festival (winner of both the Jury and Audience Awards!!).
Next week Mary and Max travel to Edinburgh to delight the UK audience!
The film will be released in cinemas throughout France by Gaumont Sept 30.
