Jenny Slate Revealed The Journey of "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On" Movie

A full length feature film "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On" voiceover by Jenny Slate will going to hits the big screen this weekend.

The movie "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On" is tracing the friendship between the young shell and a filmmaker who are staying at the Airbnb in which Marcel and his grandmother reside. The Dean attempted to help the Marcel in tracking down his family after they disappeared in an incident.

In an interview with Zoom, Slate told that,

"After our two picture books, we really wanted to continue to make more with Marcel, and it was sort of a swinging for the fences moment of like, 'Maybe we should just make a whole big movie about him,' We certainly felt that there was enough in the character, that it wasn't just one-liners, but that he was a really fully developed individual."

“It was just a long process of improvising, rearranging it, organizing it into what you hear, changing the plot and then rewriting different turns and moments in the plot and scenes.”

"In some ways, there are challenges that come up when you're working with someone, and your relationship is... is making a big, big shift, It certainly wasn't dramatic or fighting or something like that. This is both of our favorite piece of work, I think, that we do, and are doing, and have done. So, I think we just wanted to keep our eye on that. We never talked about it, but I feel like both of us understood the doing the work and doing it well."

“It turns out that my most immediate inclination is to be placed in a PG zone, but with emotions that feel not adult, but just fully developed, Children have full blown emotions too, as we all know.

“For me, it’s not hard to not do sexual humor or say swears. I don't need to do those things. I tend to do them onstage because when I do standup, I'm expressing my adult experience, which include adult experiences. But this was the natural zone to be in, which is why the movie is this way. Like everything that you see is Dean and my number one choice for what we wanted to do.”

“Dean and I introduced the film. And as Marcel, I spoke into the microphone and told everyone that I hope they enjoy the movie and all of that. Dean had a little Marcel [figure] that he brought and held it up and a little, a little person in the front row went ‘Marcel!’ And so when I started talking as Marcel, they fell out of their seat and started laughing.”
