Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

2010 · 4 min · Comedy, Animation · Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp

A tiny anthropomorphic shell answers an off-screen interviewer's questions about how he gets around, what he uses for a bed, and what he does for adventure. Improvised, stop-motion, and so specific in its voice that it spawned books, sequels and an Oscar-nominated feature.
