Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
Cinema release: 24 June
I am smitten by a tiny talking shell named Marcel who has one eye and wears shoes.
Born out of a short stop-action clip over 10 years ago, Marcel is making the transition to the big screen in his feature length debut. His creator, Dean Fleischer-Camp, interviews Marcel, who is wonderfully voiced by Jenny Slate. The movie also features cinema royalty with Isabella Rossellini lending her voice to the character of Marcelâs grandmother, Connie.
Hereâs the three short films that first introduced Marcel to the world.
There are also a couple of picture books featuring Marcel, but theyâre hard to come by and expensive to import.
âGuess why I smile a lot?â he asks. â'Cause itâs worth it.â
