In "Marcel the Shell With Shoes On," animation and reality
blend seamlessly, although perhaps not as frequently as one might
expect. The film takes place within a household that happens to be inhabited by
a talkative shell, Marcel. Using stop-motion animation, Marcel is brought to
life in everyday locations such as a kitchen floor or bathroom sink, resulting
in a hybrid of live-action and animation that has never been recognized in the
Best Animated Feature category at the Oscars before.
Despite this, "Marcel the Shell" has surpassed expectations, not only being
shortlisted for an Oscar nomination but also receiving nods from the Golden
Globes and Critics' Choice Awards in the Best Animated Feature category. In
addition, it has already claimed awards from the New York Film Critics Circle
and the National Board of Review. |
