During lunch with my friend Lexi last week, she introduced me to the most adorable stop motion animated short film. Meet Marcel The Shell: The little guy who wears oversized shoes, hand glides on Doritos and whose choice of bean bag chair is a raisin.
The voice behind Marcel? Saturday Night Live alum Jenny Slate, who originally made the video just for fun with her boyfriend. 
They’ve even released a book called Marcel The Shell With Shoes On: Things About Me. Isn’t he cute, friends? xoxo
P.S. Follow more of Marcel’s adventures in Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, Two! 🙂
