Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
2022 · TMDB 7.6
Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp
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. When a documentarian discovers them amongst the clutter of his Airbnb, his resulting short film brings Marcel millions of passionate fans, as well as unprecedented dangers and a new hope at finding his long-lost family.
Why it matters
Dean Fleischer-Camp's film about a tiny shell who lives in an Airbnb with his grandmother, documenting his life for a filmmaker. A gentle, funny, and heartbreaking story about family, loss, and the resilience of the small.
