Slate reprises her role as the tiny single googly-eyed Marcel with a pair of miniature shoes living in an Airbnb-rented Los Angeles house with his grandmother, Connie (voiced remarkably by Isabella Rossellini), to much delight. Marcel is such a comforting small-scale adventure filled with genuine heart.
Scripted by Fleischer-Camp, Slate, and Nick Paley over the course of seven years with the improvised audio dialogue recorded first before filming the live-action segments then the stop-motion animated elements, the film stretches and squeezes as much sweetness as possible into its ninety-minute runtime.
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On lives up to the endearing and earnest appeal of its original conception. Slate and Fleischer-Camp build on the charming innocence of the open-hearted protagonist. It's an altogether warm experience that elevates on the inspiration of a curious little funny voice extended to a fully-realized character of wonderment.
