This touching and stunning film, rated 3.9 out of 5, is soon leaving Netflix’s library. You have just one week left to catch it and fall in love with its adorable main character.
This film is one of the most beautiful and tender offerings of 2023, and it’s about to exit Netflix’s catalog. With a community rating of 3.9 out of 5 on AlloCiné, this feature that blends live-action with stop-motion animation is among the top animated films of 2023 according to viewers.
Audiences have loved this film, but it has also been recognized by critics and the industry, earning nominations at both the Golden Globes and the Oscars. Libération praised it as “a marvel of delicacy and elegance, free from the clutter that too often bogs down this genre”, while L’Obs described it as “a gem of emotion, carried by sardonic humor and a constantly inventive plot”.
Rediscover Marcel the Shell!
If this feature is worth watching, it’s largely due to its main character: the shell named Marcel who uniquely wears shoes. The film, simply titled Marcel the Shell (with Shoes) by Dean Fleischer-Camp, tells the story of Marcel, an endearing shell living alone with his grandmother Connie following a tragic split from their community.
The duo is hidden in an Airbnb soon to be rented by Dean, a documentarian settling in after the end of his marriage. Upon meeting Marcel, a 2.5-centimeter mollusk, he decides to film his daily life and share the documentary online.
The film goes viral, and Marcel becomes an internet sensation. However, the shell isn’t looking for fame; all he desires is to reunite with his family.
More than just a quirky mockumentary, Marcel the Shell (with Shoes) is a masterpiece of stop-motion animation, a much-needed dose of gentleness, an intimate tale that’s touching, and a stirring adventure that strikes right at the heart.
It’s impossible not to grow fond of this courageous, naive, and curious mollusk who, despite his small size, opens himself to the vastness of the world and confronts his fears and prejudices to find his people and ultimately grasp happiness.
The film “Marcel the Shell (with Shoes)” will leave the Netflix catalog on April 13th.
