Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

This simple one of the sweetest and most tender productions in recent times. It is a mockumentary that portrays the life of a small snail, animated in stop motion, who lives with her grandmother in a real Airbnb. Marcel (voiced by Jenny Slate) has a peculiar way of carrying his life, adapting all daily needs for someone of his size (which is really very small, barely 2 centimeters). His daily life is portrayed by Dean (played by the director of the film, Dean Fleischer Camp), an Airbnb guest who takes great interest in the universe of Marcel, and thus begins to document it and publish it on the internet, instantly turning him into a celebrity. Just the concept of "Marcel, the Shell with Shoes On" is already wonderful, and watching a little snail performing everyday tasks is already entertaining enough. But behind this creative story, the film still hides a huge heart. The story talks about family, belonging and overcoming adversity, in a narrative that flows between emotions, making us alternate between laughter and tears without even realizing it. A movie for adults, children, to watch as a family, as a couple or alone. Extremely likeable, funny and emotional, which will certainly please anyone.
