Marcel is adorable, his eye gestures, the kind of bizarre things he does, or the words coming out of his tiny mouth, will melt your heart. You will fall in love with him. The creators knew this, hence, they put more resources & emphasis on Marcel's personality & his outward appearance than they did on the deeper lying implications of the writing.
Whilst the movie had a whole lot to talk about the necessity of being in a healthy communal rapport, the importance of being in a family, and the kind of impact they can have on your life as well as on your life's choices, but that never got to a point where those same set of notions came to be anything more than naive interventionism.
Do not get me wrong, it still is a competent feature that gradually grew on my conscience and I'm glad that it was able to fulfill a lot of people's wishes and expectations but if you ask me, I more often than not found myself yearning for some closure, something more profound.
