From YouTube to Movies: Jenny Slate on 'Marcel the Shell with Shoes On'
Description
One of the first YouTube viral videos was Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. Released in 2010 and created and voiced by Jenny Slate with Dean Fleischer-Camp, the video about a talking shell has since raked in millions of views, been turned into a children's book and now is a new film from the studio A24. Slate joined Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott to talk about the film, the inspiration behind Marcel, and how “Marcel, in different ways, has always felt incredibly important, boundary-breaking and self-affirming to me."
