01
Why this pick
Elliot’s longer stop-motion follow-up shares Harvie Krumpet’s deadpan narration, handmade melancholy, offbeat Australian texture, and deep compassion for a life shaped by loneliness and absurd misfortune.
02
Why this pick
This adult stop-motion fable similarly finds bruised humanity in eccentric suburban lives, balancing bleak comedy, tactile character design, and sincere questions about what makes an ordinary existence meaningful.
03
Why this pick
Its deceptively simple stop-motion style carries sadness, resilience, and tender humour with the same refusal to patronise damaged characters or soften life’s strangeness.
04
Why this pick
A brief, wordless animated tragedy whose handmade visual poetry and compassionate focus on a vulnerable outsider evoke the quiet emotional force beneath Harvie Krumpet’s comic surface.
05
Why this pick
For the more unsettling side of Elliot’s tactile animation, this handmade stop-motion nightmare transforms domestic objects and shifting materials into an intimate, darkly fable-like experience.

01 / THE STORY
The story revolves around the life of Harvek Milos Krumpetzki, born in Poland in 1922. As a child, he begins to collect pieces of information he calls "fakts", which are presented throughout the film. At the outbreak of World War II, shortly after his parents' death in a house fire, he migrates to Australia as a refugee, settling in Spotswood, Victoria, and changing his name to Harvie Krumpet.
