Its an absolutely delightful & imaginative stop-action film. Its lovable characters will teach you to see everyday objects & experiences with fresh eyes.

Incredibly creative and cute. Ultimately though, not sure I needed to spend 90 minutes with Marcel.

I liked that it was all about family and community. It actually had me tearing up a couple times.

The messages were really good, but being a animated shell my daughters wanted to see it. However it was too above them so they didn't enjoy it. It's more an adult movie for sure.

Directionless and not at all aimed at children. The children I witnessed were in agony watching this. I dont feel other reviewers were being completely accurate or candid.

A wonderful film, just the right balance of funny, sweet, thoughtful, keenly observant & insightful. Beautiful stop motion animation & stellar voice work by Jenny Slate & Isabella Rossellini. Touches on so many universal themes such as being true to oneself, the importance of community, adjusting to change, facing ones fears & overcoming adversity. A delight from start to finish, see it on the big screen if it's playing near you!

One of the most pure movie watching experiences I've ever had. It's amazing that a little shell a little lost can make you feel so much. Kudos to amazing writing and the otherworldly animation team... it was all done so ridiculously well that Marcel was just about as real as anything can be in this life. I left the theater feeling better about everything.

This movie makes me think back to scenes and feelings the week after I seen it. It lures you in with very Iconic and cute looking and sounding characters but then it zooms you in to linger with them a while. To play out the story and emotions with this little shell to have you sync how it and you feels in their situation which is relatable to many of us. It’s because of that the story is simple but best in class how it conveys the emotional impact on everyone and makes the end rewarding, happy and sad at the same time. It’s a window into life and it tells its story very well.
