Submitted by BrianTT on June 22, 2010 - 2:49pmCHICAGO – A disturbingly small number of people were given the chance to see Adam Elliot’s brilliant and moving “Mary and Max,” one of the most notable releases in arguably the best year in the history of modern animation.

If only the movie itself lived up to such an impressive HD treatment.
