MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON (2022)

March 11, 2023 by Jacob Nelson in 2022, 7, ANIMATED, COMEDY, DRAMA, FAMILY, FANTASY, M, Oscars 2023

12/19/22 - Marcel the Shell with Shoes On - 7+/8-/10

The most adorable movie of the year, as Jenny Slate and her ex-husband Dean Fleischer-Camp adapt their short films to a feature length cutesy tug on the heartstrings. It is both sweet, sincere, buoyantly funny, and endearingly kindhearted.

I don’t really understand how it can be counted as an animated film for the Oscars, but the blend of animation and live action, especially within the realm of this world, was inventive and endearing. This is a delightful addition in the “supremely made/exquisitely sweet/all around feel good family feature” genre, where the Paddington cinematic felicities reside.
