Marcel the Shell With Shoes On Is Baaack

Jenny Slate and Dean Fleischer-Camp's adorable, gravelly voiced, one-eyed, shoe-wearing shell, Marcel, is back with a new web video three years after we last heard from him. The couple timed the release of the new clip with the publication of their second Marcel-themed children's book, Marcel the Shell: The Most Surprised I've Ever Been, out tomorrow. In the video, above, Marcel melts our cold, bitchy hearts all over again with talk about his allergies, shrimp ("they're the idiots of the sea"), and learning a song at camp that reminds him of a friend who lives far away.
