Marcel the Shell is Getting His Own Film!

Remember the early days of YouTube? In comparison to the flood of polished and unpolished content available today, YouTube from a decade ago feels almost nostalgic. It was a playground for bored teens posting amusing stunts and for aspiring artists showcasing their creativity.
Marcel the Shell With Shoes On first captured the hearts of online audiences back in 2010. This charming character, brought to life by the unique voice of Jenny Slate, represents a quirky, authentic era of YouTube that many may fondly remember. Now, 12 years later, Marcel is set to star in his own feature film. The animated mockumentary will follow Marcel as he seeks to find his place in the world, featuring a storyline that reflects personal experiences of heartache and breakups — a narrative that parallels Slate’s relationship with her ex-husband, Dean Fleischer-Camp. The two have collaborated on the character and story both before and after their amicable separation in 2016.
Following the success of their 2010 short, the duo produced three additional short films and two children’s books, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On: Things About Me (2011) and Marcel the Shell: the Most Surprised I’ve Ever Been (2014). Slate voiced the character throughout, while Fleischer-Camp directed. The new film, set to debut on June 24 under A24, will also feature a cast that includes Isabella Rossellini, Rosa Salazar, Thomas Mann, and Lesley Stahl — and it has already received rave reviews at film festivals.
Since their split, Slate has married artist Max Turner, and the couple welcomed their first daughter, Lily, in February 2021. While promoting her Amazon show I Want You Back, Slate shared in interviews that motherhood “really took me by surprise,” expressing that she initially thought she would become consumed by the caregiver role. Instead, she discovered that motherhood has enabled her to become a better version of herself, creatively. She even allows her daughter to inspire her, stating, “How do I let my child’s sweetness and courage and curiosity be the torchbearer for how I want to be? A little baby has no need to be defensive or brag or to flatter. There’s a lot to learn from the tiny sage that is a baby.”
And it seems there’s also a lot to learn from a little shell searching for his own path in life. Check out the full trailer for Marcel the Shell with Shoes On below.
