Pure artistry,

This review is from: Harvie Krumpet [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
This is a delightful film... a biography of a man whose life is a succession of misfortunes yet who still manages to feel that life itself is a blessing, it's impossible not to warm to. Director Adam Elliot manages to tell this story from the heart, without a scrap of contrived sentimentality. He uses rough-hewn claymation models and minimalistic animation yet instils his characters with more warmth, reality and genuine humour than many a mega-budget feature.Adam's other films, 'Uncle','Cousin' and 'Brother' also feature on this disc but it would be an injustice to think of them as bonus features or minor works in any way; they may have paved the way to Harvie Krumpet but they are every bit as good - both funny and touching. It's unfortunate that the TV networks in this country seem to have lost interest in modern animation because in Adam Elliot's films both they and the wider public are missing a treat. He has a true artist's touch and I can't wait for his next film, whatever it might be.

Poor Harvie,
By MSG1969 "MSG1969" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Harvie Krumpet [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
As a huge fan of Mary and Max (one of my favourite films from 2009) I was intrigued to see the short film that preceded the feature. I wasn't disappointed - Harvie Krumpet is made with the same attention to detail, blackly humourus comedy and wonderful characterisation that made Mary & Max so good. I'm not surprised this won the Academy Award for best animated short. The additional material and examples of the filmmaker's early work adds even more depth and provides a great deal of information. There may only be 45 mins of material on the disc, but every single one is pure gold.

Harvie fantastic,
This review is from: Harvie Krumpet [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
This is an absolute must for ant aspiring animator. Funny but touching at the same time. The animation is not quite up to that of Ardman, but is still excellent and complements the styling and mood of the characters and of the story being told.GET THIS DVD and add it to your collection now!!! also look out for Mary and Max, Adam Elliot's follow up film from 2009; this looks excellent and i'm still trying to find a Pal DVD version.
