Meet Marcel The Shell With Shoes On.
If you haven't yet met Marcel, you're missing out. So let me introduce you.
Marcel the Shell with shoes on is a delightful little character in this stop motion animated short directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp and voiced (not enhanced) by actress, comedienne, writer and 2009-2010 SNL cast member Jenny Slate. The short film was written by both Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp.
Sweet and sad (in a Charlie Brown sort of way), Marcel has gone viral in a big way. And you can see why. Just watch the 3 minute and 20 second video below.

Marcel is so adored, he even made the New York magazine matrix - in the HighBrow/ Brilliant quadrant!
Marcel:
"Bestie by Bestie," is a web series about friendship that the former SNL star and her comedy partner (and life long bestie) Gabe Liedman screen at their weekly stand-up show. The video series is also directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp and the premiere episode can be viewed here.
Special thanks to my friend Jean Rhode who turned me onto this little guy.
