Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

Marcel is a one-inch-tall shell who lives out a colorful existence with his grandmother Connie and their pet lint, Alan. Once part of a community of shells, they now live alone as the sole survivors of a mysterious tragedy. When a documentary filmmaker discovers them amongst the clutter of his Airbnb, the short film he posts online brings Marcel millions of fans, new dangers, and a hope at finding his long-lost family.
