The trailer has arrived for the feature film adaptation of Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp’s 2010 stop-motion short “Marcel The Shell With Shoes On” which A24 will release in cinemas on June 24th.
The story follows Marcel, a 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 new hope at finding his long-lost family.
The original short won awards at AFI FEST 2010, was an official selection at Sundance 2011 and the feature premiered at Telluride last year to rave reviews. Rosa Salazar, Thomas Mann, Isabella Rossellini, and Lesley Stahl lend their voices to the film which Fleischer-Camp directs from a script by him, Slate, and Nick Paley.
