EXCLUSIVE: A24 has dated two recent festival faves for theatrical release this summer: the Jenny Slate animated comedy Marcel the Shell With Shoes On on June 24 and the horror comedy feature Bodies Bodies Bodies on Aug. 5.

 

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On made its world premiere at Telluride last fall and recently played SXSW. The Dean Fleisher-Camp directed and co-written movie is the feature take of the animated short film, which centers around an interview with a mollusk named Marcel. Slate voices Marcel, and the pic also stars Isabella Rossellini, Thomas Mann, Rosa Salazar and Lesley Stahl. The pic off nine reviews is currently 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Other movies debuting on June 24 include Warner Bros.’ Elvis and Universal/Blumhouse’s The Black Phone.

I heard of this but had no idea it was based on Youtube shorts....it seems ADORABLE.

Granted I don't think there are a whole lot of family options this summer and I'm sure the A24 cult is overrepresented on the Internet but it is impressive it found its way on there

Is this eligible for the Animated Feature Oscar?

[cannastop]

 

Hmm looks like they'll try to get an animated feature nomination. And that it's eligible.

Same. I saw this today and it's really delightful and heartwarming. Hope it makes as much money as it can.

What a shame that audiences didn't seem to give this much of a chance...

 

I wonder if it will win critic awards though. Best animated feature? Best debut film?

[cannastop]

Marcel the Shell is Richard Lawson’s #10 movie of 2022. He’s the chief critic at Vanity Fair.

Well it also gets a National Board of Review award for Best Animated Feature. Welcome to Oscar nomination territory, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.

Bless the Academy's lenient standards this year

 

Would be nice for it to get some extra attention since it was ignored over the summer
