Memoir of a Snail (15)

Dir. Adam Elliot | 2025 | 94 mins | English 

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 isseparated 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. 

From Academy Award-winning® animation writer and director Adam Elliot, Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt, hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.

Like Adam's previous adult works, the film is based on his family and friends and explores challenging subject matter that is oftendark but tempered with moments of hilarity and warmth. Another rich story from one of the world's most admired animation auteurs, this highly anticipated follow-up to the acclaimed Mary and Max (voiced by Phillip Seymour Hoffman) is again voiced by some of the world's leading actors, including Sarah Snook, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Eric Bana, Dominique Pinon, Jacki Weaver and Nick Cave.
