7/10
IT WAS OK.

Warning: Spoilers
Feels like I'm the minority here. If you aren't feeling particularly soft headed this movie may try your patience. It is cute and quirky and at first clever, but goes on along the same line for far too long in the same tone, then attempts a little tear-jerking, only to resume the same steady, goofiness. It's an accomplishment in terms of uniqueness, but for me it was just ok.

Synopsis: Marcel is an adorable one-inch-tall shell who ekes out a colorful existence with his grandmother Connie and their pet lint, Alan. Once part of a sprawling community of shells, they now live alone as the sole survivors of a mysterious tragedy. But when a documentary filmmaker discovers them amongst the clutter of his Airbnb, the short film he posts online brings Marcel millions of passionate fans, as well as unprecedented dangers and a new hope at finding his long-lost family. A beloved character gets his big-screen debut in this hilarious and heartwarming story about finding connection in the smallest corners.
