Guess what my skiis are...toenails from a man

MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON from Dean Fleischer-Camp on Vimeo.

Stop motions have lost their spark to me lately, but the raw simplicity of this is just so silly and wonderful it makes me happy.

Why this tickles me so good:

The quirky voice: I couldn't think of a more fitting tone for the goofy one-eyed seashell character. Brilliant.

The ironic humor: The unexpected self-deprecating shell interacts with issues that you can quickly relate to, in a new way.

The resurrection of mundane objects: The dog is a sad ball of lint tied to a piece of hair, dragged by a shell with shoes.
