MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON is an endearingly strange and melancholic live-action/stop-motion animation hybrid mockumentary. An anthropomorphic shell called Marcel (Jenny Slate) lives with his grandma Connie (Isabella Rossellini) in the corner of an Air BnB and wonders where the rest of his family has disappeared to. When a depressed documentarian (Dean Fleischer Camp) moves in he films and assists with Marcel’s search, prompting the tiny crustacean to go viral on YouTube. How much joy or otherwise you get out of Marcel will depend a lot on if you find Slate’s vocal delivery cute or annoying, but there’s very little else even remotely like this out there; a hand-crafted tribute to outcasts and family told in a way only outcasts would think to tell it.
