Marcel is an adorable one-inch-tall shell who ekes out a colorful existence with his grandmother Connie and their pet lint, Alan. Once part of a sprawling community of shells, they now live alone as the sole survivors of a mysterious tragedy. But when a documentary filmmaker discovers them amongst the clutter of his Airbnb, the short film he posts online brings Marcel millions of passionate fans, as well as unprecedented dangers and a new hope at finding his long-lost family.

Little predictable (this really could’ve been made by Disney if the window dressing and artistic approach were more conventional), but very cute, funny and heartwarming. It’s like somebody watched _Honey I Shrunk the Kids_ or _Ant Man_ and realized there’s still a lot of untapped potential by looking at the world from a micro perspective. The characters are wonderful, music and directing are fantastic, the animation and worldbuilding are very fun, it’s a blast overall. I just wish it took some more risk with the storytelling. 8/10

Not sure how to rate this one... Of course I'm no one to tell an artist how they decide to tell their story, but it felt, to me, that it should have been a short film instead, because after 30 minutes in, I was already checking how far along was it. I love stop-motion and it's an endearing story, that manages to focus on some interesting points (pretty much summed up by Lesley Stahl at the beginning of the interview), but it just didn't grab me in as I was expecting.

Slate, Camp, and the rest of the crew find a human heart, relatability, and universality to a shell. They’ve mastered the homey, comfy tone by now, making it so you truly feel with and for Marcel, laugh with him, and cry with him. What could’ve gotten away with just being a- very funny- vehicle More

Huge heart in this film. It's funny, philosophical, life affirming and just a pure pleasure to watch. The fact that it's stop motion animation makes it a complete wonder. How?

_Marcel the Shell with Shoes On_ is the type of film that reminds you what it’s like to be a decent human being through the perspective of a little talking shell that walks on the walls of a normal sized house by stepping in a puddle of honey. The film is laugh out loud funny, sad in a gut punchin More
