Earlier this month in Los Angeles, Jenny Slate joined the Slate Culture Gabfest on stage and explained the murky origins of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On, her adorable stop-motion character, who has just returned for a third installment (directed, as always, by Slate’s husband Dean Fleischer-Camp). The story was almost as endearing as Marcel himself (it helped that Slate happily did the voice). Watch the video above, give that story a listen, and then tell me you’re not charmed.
