Marcel the Shell Returns in Adorable New Video
By Josh Duboff
Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp's delightful creation, Marcel the Shell, is back for a third installment, and it's predictably, well, delightful. (We are particular fans of the reveal of Marcel's "favorite saying" near the two-minute mark.) The first clip exploring the life and times of the miniature shell was released four years ago and has garnered more than 23 million views; the second, posted one year later, has notched upwards of 8 million. Which is to say: the pressure's on, No. 3. (Slate and Fleischer-Camp's second Marcel-centered book, Marcel the Shell: The Most Surprised I've Ever Been, is out tomorrow.)
