    Mary and Max is one of the few movies that made me cry like a baby. I wish more animated films can tackle hard subjects like the ones in this film.

    Gumby? Gumby. GUMBY~!
    Also, that scene from Mary & Max where Max is at the receptionists, then it cut to him on the train with a chair from the office? I howled out in laughter, as one thing I often joke about (being an Aspie myself) every time I'm told to "take a seat" at an appointment is that "none of them matches the decor at home"!

I've seen your movie reviews, and though the other videos are indeed part of the reason, most of the reason I am subscribing is this video alone, for the joy you gave him. Thank you.

    Mary and Max was a great movie. Although parts of the visuals were an acquired taste, the themes were handled well and most the jokes were hilarious. As an aspie myself I was impressed by how unbiased they were with talking about the condition. Overall it's a cool movie, and showcases how powerful animated movies can be. It's a difficult movie, but still an especially good one.

    I owned Gumby the movie as a kid and was freaked out by it, not understanding how old it was and the fact that the song at the beginning really freaked me out. I discovered Gumby when I saw him on a wall at a restaurant me and my family were eating at. In fact that was when I first learned about cancellation and began hunting it down. I found the movie and had fun watching it. I would say that Mary and Max looks older than it is and as I said it was depressing. But overall I liked Gumby and Mary and Max was probably not for my taste.

    Have you thought about doing a look-back at the British children's shows that were made in the 60s onwards? A lot of iconic shows are all animation in varying degrees; these are just how I would describe them:
    Bagpuss, The Wombles, The Clangers, Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids = puppets and stop-motion
    Chorlton and the Wheelies, Camberwick Green, Trumpton = toys and stop-motion
    Ivor the Engine, Mr Benn, Captain Pugwash (the original version) = paper art
    Roobarb, Spider in the Bath = looks like a kids drawing

    MegasXRL (Said to be released, although no further word)
    Magic School Bus
    These are only a few ofc, there were many more but I can't remember, forgot and/or can't find them.

    I'm pretty sure that the Gumby movie was a whole lot better than the other three movies that you talked about. At least that's what I believe. I think that, regardless of what the gross for Gumby the Movie was, I believe that the original 90 minute version of that movie should be released (hopefully soon) on dvd as a special edition. In fact, both the original 90 minute version and the director's cut should be released on dvd as a 2-disc set. One disc would have the original 90 minute version while the other would have the director's cut. But both discs would have all of the dvd features such as the special features, scene selections, and subtitles. You understand what I mean, don't you?
