Marcel The Shell With Shoes On

Big hearts can come in very small shells.

When a filmmaker discovers Marcel, a tiny shell living a quiet life with his grandmother in an Airbnb, the pair begin documenting Marcel's search for the family he lost. What follows is a funny, heartfelt and wonderfully original story about friendship, resilience and the importance of belonging.

Blending stop-motion animation with documentary-style storytelling, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is unlike anything else you'll see. Charming, witty and unexpectedly profound, it finds extraordinary emotion in the smallest moments, reminding us that kindness and curiosity can change lives.

As part of our season celebrating the families we're born into and the families we build, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is a touching reminder that home isn't just a place. It's the people who make us feel seen, supported and loved.

Filled with laughter, warmth and quiet wisdom, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is one of the most joyful films of recent years. Whether you're eight or eighty, it's almost impossible not to fall in love with Marcel.
