When I was a kid, my sister and I had carefully placed miniatures, pottery animals, and shelves full of small and delicate things. I hadn’t really thought about these exhibits, but now collecting and ordering these little emblems of the world is a way of expressing agency and dominance when children enter there. You can see that there is. It’s no wonder that miniatures look so attractive. They are time machines. As the philosopher Gaston Bachelard states it in his book The Poetics of Space, its tiny gives us access to the “expanding gaze of the child.”
It partially describes the “Shoeed Shell Marcel” tugboat about small creatures in the great and big world. He’s a curious companion, like a curious person, but he’s also just unique. To get started, he’s a shell. It is not one of the terrestrial snails or sea creatures where you can find hard protective layers washed up on the shore. From his appearance, Marcel is puzzling, even if it’s about an inch in size, walking, talking about the empty shell, and having one eye, two shoes, and an animated mouth that is the font of the shell. I am alive. , Baby-like voice.
There are many falsetsto of the adenoid, courtesy of comedian Jenny Slate. And it could have easily broken the deal. Marcel is very talkative and, in its sweetest and most appealing way, reminds us of a sincere quarrel that children share all the little things that run through their excited hearts. At least what’s fascinating is that while waiting for a tremendous line, the last gas bag that was stuck next to you might flash badly. Certainly, it took time for my voice to warm up. Partly because you can hear all the calculations that shape Marcel’s flow, its decline and the embarrassment of the flow and the practiced comedy, but most of it flows.
Looking at the effort in performance is fine and sometimes productive, but not here. This is because “Marcel the Shell” captivates you with real-world object and animation combinations, supple textures, and giant pushpins, while forgetting the slate and accepting light surreal stupidity. In other words, it helps you fall in love with Marcel. He is the main character, so he never runs away. But his care is very important. Because if he guides you and you meet his grandmother (another shell raised by the precious Isabella Rossellini), so much, if not much, is happening. That’s not the case.
Marcel was born in 2010 in a short time of more than 3 minutes. Created by Slate and Dean Freisher Camp. Posted on youtubeA short introduction to Marcel with short strokes, a small budget, and basic and effective stop-motion animation. The origin is unknown, but Marcel lives in a large house, sleeps on bread, and drags around a ball of lint with human hair. “What I regret in my life is that I never have a dog,” he said. With its subtle simplicity and gentle pull of melancholy, the shorts gained millions of views, and Marcel immediately had fame, more shorts, books and now this feature-length car.
“Marcel the Shell With Shoes On” produces intermittent productive effects based on its predecessor. Once again, Marcel pulls the lint, makes a bed of bread, and lives in the human home, the little soul of the Giants’ land. And, as he did before, Marcel often talks to men. This guy has the name and behind-the-scenes story of Dean (spoken favorably by the camp). When the movie started, he lived in Marcel’s house. The house was converted to Airbnb with disastrous consequences that gave the shape and sentiment of the story. He has also created a documentary about his unusual roommate and will post it on YouTube soon.
Advertising tie-ups are now part of the disappointing Marcelland, part of the story that turns on the record of its typical American identity, celebrity, and becoming. Dean’s portraits enliven the landscape, make Marcel famous and cause problems. Enter Leslie Stahl and the Gawker wielding a selfie stick. Some of this is interesting, if too familiar, but the self-reflexiveness of the entire enterprise only breaks the spells that slate and camp are working hard to maintain. It feels like a gentle caress.
