Uncle. Adam Elliot. 1996. Animation.

Format: 16mm / Sound: Mono / Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Significant cast: William McInnes
Producer: Sarah Watt
A nephew recalls the sometimes-lonely and often-eccentric life of his uncle.
Part one of a trilogy; ‘Uncle’ has screened at over 200 film festivals, both internationally and locally. Fellow animator Sarah Watt (see ‘Catch of the Day’ - 1995) produced the film, and her husband, William McInnes, narrated it.
To complete the trilogy, Adam produced ‘Cousin’ in 1998 and ‘Brother’ in 1999, each of which received an AFI award for Best Animation.
In 2003, Elliot with producer Melanie Coombs made ‘Harvey Krumpet’ narrated by Geoffrey Rush. The film went on to win both the AFI Award and Academy Award in 2003. The team of Elliot and Coombs made the feature film ‘Mary and Max’ which was a joint winner with Henry Selick’s ‘Coraline’ at Annecy in 2009. The film has been widely studied in secondary schools throughout Australia. ACMI in Melbourne held an exhibition of its puppets and sets in 2010.
Elliot’s film “Ernie Biscuit’ (2015) is narrated by John Flaus and is another of what he calls his ‘clayographies’.

Cute, dark but cute

[@WickedHole]

The cerebral-palsy artstyle, the self-deprecating morbid humor, the gentle and sad narration, the bleak and un-buttered depiction of death and unenthused suburban living and unfulfilled dreams -- these little clay shorts are beautifully dismal.

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

What do you mean by 'cerebral-palsy artstyle'?

[@WickedHole]

@GeorgiaGeorgette the unsteady, lumpish, design of the characters

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

@@WickedHole You're calling people with cerebral-palsy 'lumpish'?

[@WickedHole]

@@GeorgiaGeorgette No. I'm calling the art style 'lumpish.'

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

@@WickedHole 'Lumpish' like people with cerebral-palsy, according to your comment.

[@williamcrowe2576]

I could be wrong, but I think the actor who voiced the uncle was also the voice of Harvie Krumpet.

[@josgretf2800]

you are correct! John Flaus, who also narrated Ernie Biscuit It seems adam elliot likes to work with him a lot
