The director of MarcelTheShell talks the long-awaited debut of the beloved character on the big screen.
Back in 2010, Dean Fleischer-Camp and Jenny Slate collaborated to unveil the adorable stop-motion short film Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, chronicling the adventures of its adorable title character and their daily activities. The optimistic and earnest nature of the short quickly captured the attention of the internet, racking up millions of views and opening doors for the creative team.
Dean Fleischer-Camp: I know it's so strange to put a movie like this out there, because my friends are like,"I sobbed." And I'm like,"Great." So I think it's a combination of that and always asking ourselves, is it documentary? Would this character really do this during a documentary? Would you actually be able to ...
And it just felt like it was ... I don't know. I just have the one voice in my, or instinctual art-making voice that I know is never wrong, is when I feel queasy. I think I started feeling queasy about this idea and that was, actually, I think the impetus for bringing Nick Paley, who's my writing partner, on. He, in combination with Liz Holm, our producer, we had an,"All right, we're throwing out everything. Let's start from scratch.
Now this might be a super specific thing, but I noticed you use YouTube videos a lot in the movie to help give context for the impact Marcel is having. I noticed that a lot of the YouTube videos that were shown were three minutes and 21 seconds long. That, I don't know if I am insane for noticing that and if that was just an arbitrary thing that there wasn't much thought put into, or, I believe the original Marcel short is 3:21, if that was intentional.
I like that, for so many people who are watching the movie, that is our vacation from reality, is getting to spend 90 minutes with Marcel. And you're at a point where you're like,"I need to get away from Marcel. I need to go to The Witch. I need to go to Hereditary. Let me spend time in these worlds because I'm sick of the hopeful optimism.
