Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

Best Animated Film Nominee, Oscars 2023

After a breakup, a documentary filmmaker (director Dean Fleischer Camp) moves into a rental home. There, he discovers Marcel (Jenny Slate) - a tiny, one-inch-tall talking shell who lives with his grandmother. Together, they hatch a plan to find Marcel's extended family.

Using a memorable mix of mockumentary-style live-action film and stop-motion animation, Marcel is a rare film that will appeal to children and adults alike. It's hard not to be charmed by the adorable Marcel, and there's a surprisingly rich emotional core to this clever, kind-hearted film.
