7. Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
A young filmmaker rents an Airbnb and finds that a talking seashell lives there. This talking shell, named Marcel, has lost its family and the filmmaker decides to document the search for the family, as well as all of Marcel’s quirky life lessons. Brilliant and beautifully animated, Marcel is also flat-out hilarious, intensely moving, and almost unbelievably uplifting. Truly one of the best, most underrated films of the year.
