Marcel the Shell Movie Filmed on Italian Star's Farm

The People interviewed Isabella Rossellini, 70, Jenny Slate, 40, and they shared details of the kids movie "Marcel the Shell",

Rossellini shared her voice over experience.

"When I was asked to do it, I was not familiar with the YouTube phenomena, But it was interesting to see that something that started so small on YouTube could find a way to be a feature film. And then I mentioned to my children I was asked to work on Marcel the Shell, they went berserk. They knew it very well. They said, 'You got to do it.'"

Slate explains why they choose Italian Star's Farm House for movie making and voice over.

"When we started to do this, we were totally strangers, There's not as much sitting around as you have on a movie set. We really recorded all day. But when you spend time with someone like that, you get to learn little bits about their lives and their backstory. And that was really a nice thing to be able to do; kind of a blend of work and building a personal relationship."

"In the movie, we tried really hard to use natural sound. So if we were in the bathroom, we'd record in the bathroom, and when we were in Nana Connie's garden, Isabella was really kind to us to let us come and record on her farm and let us see that special place, To be able to be invited to someone's precious space that they have to keep doing this art was really meaningful."

"The vets will come and give them the injection so they go to sleep and then you saw the tooth, It doesn't hurt them, but it is a big to do."

"I discovered that I felt less lonely in a small community than in town, because in town you can go to party, you can go to dinners, you can do all that, but the everyday relationship is anonymous, You don't know your neighbor. There is a kindness. It's wonderful."

"My husband owns the general store in our town and I know most of the people that shop there. I've never really had anything like that before, and it makes me feel so cared for, The feeling of neighbors, this idea that you all live close to each other, that you find beauty in the same places, that you get your food from the same places and know each other's dogs — I have found that to be the biggest treasure."

"It's so sweet, because she's so small and mighty, and she runs with her tongue out, She just loves having this space. That's been a real joy."

"My daughter is now running the farm, so this has become really a nice way to be together, And the moment we are the most busy is Fridays and Saturdays, when New Yorkers come to the weekend. So that's our ritual."
