A claymation animation that vividly portrays what many of us must have experienced: a little girl in Australia randomly pen-friends of an old man in Manhattan, and these farthest ends of the friendship spectrum correspond back and forth throughout life. A very palpable concept, since through letters and emails, sometimes you get to know a person living in a far-away land better than a first-degree relative. The humorous moments are never-ending, and the rare dark moments are lingering and profound (eat your heart out, Tim Burton). And it all points to a great quote at the end of the film:
"God gave us relatives. Thank God we can choose our friends."
