It’s about an unlikely friendship between a little girl from Australia and an old Jewish Aspie guy from New York. The animation is nice and quirky and the voice acting done by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Toni Collette is what really makes this movie great. The trailer makes this movie seem like a comedy but it’s a lot more than that. It IS funny but it’s also really, really sad in parts.

The UK version [MP4 Link] is a typical hand holding, ‘our users might be stupid’ approach. Our friends in the Far East deliver the same message without a single spoken word. I prefer the Japanese version [MP4 Link] and I hope you do too.
