According to The Big Cartoon Database, Australian animator Adam Elliot, who surprised a lot of people by winning the Animated Short Oscar for Harvie Krumpet, has had many offers from American companies who want him to come work for them – but he has turned them all down. “Winning an Oscar has reminded myself and the film community that we’re very good storytellers and we have a lot to say. Our voice is very unique…We still want to keep telling Australian stories, and we want to keep making the films here in Australia and use Australian talent”.
