After a series of successful shorts and books, the comedian’s animated mollusk character, created with Dean Fleischer-Camp, receives feature-length treatment.
Marcel appeared out of thin air. “My name is Marshell — oh no, that’s not the first time I’ve done that,” he said in his high-pitched, slightly nasal voice, in a video uploaded to YouTube in 2010. Undeterred by his hiccup, he began again: “My name is Marcel and I’m partially a shell, as you can see from my body.
” These wholesome opening lines came to define the essence of Marcel the Shell, the brainchild of comedianThis beady-eyed mollusk was witty, confident and curious. “Have you ever eaten a raspberry, and what was that like?” he once asked. I still think about this question and how I, if asked earnestly, would answer. Marcel possessed a distinctly uncorny optimism founded on admirable self-love.
