After almost three years away from YouTube, Marcel the Shell has returned in a delightful third video. Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Three continues the escapades of the minuscule talking creature (voiced by actress Jenny Slate) and manages to be as adorable as the previous two episodes.
Marcel shares even more about his life in this installment, including how he likes to dig in the dirt to relax and is allergic to plants. He also holds a very low opinion of shrimp, calling them the "idiots of the sea." At the end of the video he treats us to a sentimental song, which he sings because "my best friend lives far away."
Marcel the Shell was created by Slate and her husband Dean Fleischer-Camp. The first video was posted in 2010 and has over 23 million views. This new video coincides with the release of Slate and Fleischer-Camp's second book featuring the character. The book is titled The Most Surprised I've Ever Been and will be released on Oct. 21.
Given the long gap between the second and third episodes, there might not be another Marcel video for a while. So until then, just remember Marcel's favorite saying: "Life's a party, rock your body!"
