“Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” is about as cute as it gets. In my opinion, the dialogue, circumstances and situations that arise around this little stop-motion animated shell seem to be geared toward adults. Still, the kids will go crazy for this adorable little guy and the darling voice Jenny Slate has given him. I think we all need a little cute in our life right now, so I can’t help but suggest you watch.
The film starts in the year 1802. Here, we meet the young Selina Dalton and Julia Thistlewaite. They’re enrolled in Mrs. Finches Ladies Academy. We learn enough about them to realize they’ve been friends their whole lives and plan to keep it that way, but now they dream of the bright future ahead.

If you’re hoping for expanded details about the “King of Rock n’ Roll” in this biopic, they’re here. When you hear the name Elvis Presley, outside of the songs he courted us with, you can’t help but think of the loud outfits, big belt buckles, the mismanaged movie career and his fondness for karate. Baz Luhrmann’s usual glitz and flash are all over “Elvis” because that’s who the singer was.

Nancy Stokes is a 55-year-old widow played believably by 63-year-old, two-time Academy Award winner, Emma Thompson. Leo Grande is played by Daryl McCormack from “Peaky Blinders.” Thompson looks fabulous and is remarkable in the part while he, perhaps surprisingly from someone so new to the business, holds his own with a gifted actor who has been performing longer than McCormack has been alive.
