If you’ve never hear of Adam Elliot then the ‘Memoir of a Snail’ trailer is an excellent way to acquaint yourself with a singular style of stop motion animation that he does entirely on himself.
Grace Pudel is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books. At a young age, when Grace is separated from her fire-breathing twin brother Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst. Despite a continued series of hardships, inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life.
Winner of the Best Film ‘Cristal’ Award at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and the Best Film Prize at this year’s BFI London Film Festival (the first time an animated feature has ever taken the top prize), nominated for a Golden Globe, short-listed for Animated Feature of The Year at the London Critics’ Circle Film Awards and long-listed for the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards, Memoir of a Snail is the bittersweet tale of a lonely woman, Grace Pudel, who retells her life story to a humble garden snail called Sylvia.
Featuring the voice talents of Sarah Snook (Succession) as Grace with Kodi Smit-McPhee as her estranged twin brother Gilbert, this is another incredibly rich and moving feature-length “clayography” from one of the world’s most admired animation auteurs – part seven of Elliot’s Trilogy of Trilogies (three short shorts, three long shorts, three features). The voice cast also includes Eric Bana, Nick Cave, Dominique Pinon and Jacki Weaver and like Adam’s previous adult works, the film is based on his family and friends and explores challenging subject matter that is often dark but tempered with moments of hilarity and warmth.
We’ve had the privilege of seeing this and its is exceptionally good and already even though tis January is likely to be on our best films of 2025 list
