Marcel’s back! After getting his initial big break back in 2010 in the form of an extremely short four-minute film, everyone’s favorite anthropomorphic seashell is taking on the big leagues. Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is headed to screens everywhere on June 24, courtesy of A24. The original team behind the short, director Dean Fleischer Camp and writer and voice of Marcel, Jenny Slate, have joined together to bring the shell’s story to a larger audience. Joining Slate in the cast will be Rosa Salazar, Thomas Mann, and Isabella Rossellini.

In a trailer dropped today, we see the cute but dangerous life of Marcel, who is sharing a little about himself with a documentary filmmaker. The big world is scary for the tiny shell, who has a single googly eye and rocks a teeny tiny pair of shoes. Marcel introduces viewers to his only remaining family member, Nana Connie, while the two enjoy their favorite activity together, watch 60 Minutes.

Driven by loneliness and curiosity, Marcel begins his journey to track down his family. His courageous step soon takes the world by storm as people are quickly drawn to his endearing story and adventure to reconnect with those closest to him. 60 Minutes anchor Lesley Stahl is even so moved by the tiny seashell’s search that she gives him an interview and a platform to get his word out. The cute trailer promises to not leave any dry eyes in the theater in a tale about the deep bonds that tie our relationships together.
