Its critical praise and awards resulted in two more shorts being released in 20. It premiered at AFI FEST 2010, where it was awarded Best Animated Short and was an official selection of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. This idea originated from a series of shorts by Dean Fleischer Camp and actress Jenny Slate, who voiced the title character. Obviously, it's because it's distributed by indie studio underdog A24, but it's also because it looked so flipping adorable, more so than the Minions from 'Despicable Me'. This is one of the summer movies, whether they're big or small, that immediately caught my attention from their trailers. This particular film has one where a tiny creature's journey inspired something far greater than expected. When it comes to documentary movies, some extraordinary stories can come from the smallest of things. It is based on the short films of the same name by Fleischer Camp and Jenny Slate. The film was directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, who directed the documentary 'Fraud'. Released on June 24, 2022, the film is about a shell searching for his family. 'Marcel the Shell with Shoes On' stars Jenny Slate, Rosa Salazar, Thomas Mann, Isabella Rossellini, Dean Fleischer Camp, and Lesley Stahl.
