From A24 and Elevation Pictures, MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON is a live-action comedy based on the short YouTube films of the same name. 

Marcel, voiced by Jenny Slate, is an adorable one-inch-tall shell who ekes out a colourful existence with his grandmother Connie, voiced by Isabella Rosellini, 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. A beloved character gets his big-screen debut in this hilarious and heartwarming story about finding connection in the smallest corners.
