That’s mummy, she sang it herself.
Do you like it too?
I guess so, because your ear is right up against the speaker ...
It’s about the stars and moon and stuff like that ...
I play it every night before I go to sleep.
The first act completely touched my heart. The opening scene of JoJo beating his father to the bridge, running with his pink rubber gloves whilst a bird flew around the sky. I loved the meaning…
Oh wow. Now this was a treat, such a scrummy, scrummy, scrumptious treat!
The storyline, the animation, the stop motion, MARY & MAX, their friendship, the hilarious & genuine banter they had throughout the whole film.... the portrayal of depression, anxiety and mental health as a whole was so raw and wonderful, so honest & untouched, the way that life just takes you away from things & makes you wonder 'what if' scenarios.

Hopkins was absolutely impeccable. His eyes ...... oh my HIS EYES, his eyes on their own just portrayed such intensity & emotion. I felt glued to them & couldn't look away. I wanted to wrap my arms around him & hug him tight.
John Merrick was…
