"A few days ago, I received a ton of emails suggesting, nay, demanding I check out a new video about a shell wearing sneakers. I kid you not.Jenny Slate, the woman behind the shell. I love her on Saturday Night Live, don&amp;amp;#8217;t you? I was a bit apprehensive, but I am so thankful I gave in and watched. Like thousands of others, I fell in lurve with Marcel, a super adorable character created by SNL&amp;amp;#8217;s Jenny Slate. Have a look, and feel free to do a bit of squee-worthy swooning: MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON from Dean Fleischer-Camp on Vimeo. Yesterday, USA Today interviewed Jenny to get the story behind Mr. Marcel (I thought he was a girl, too!) and after reading it, I became an even bigger fan. Jenny tells USA Today that she came up with Marcel while away for a friend&amp;amp;#8217;s wedding; &amp;amp;#8220;I was sharing a hotel room with my boyfriend and three other people&amp;amp;#8212;we were all just packed in there because everyone was trying to save money, and I felt really teeny tiny. And I just started doing that voice, which I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure was pretty annoying for my pals.&amp;amp;#8221; But, her friends got a kick out of the cute voice. How could you not, though?! One pal, Dean Fleischer-Camp, suggested Jenny write down the cute things she was saying. From there, the two came up with the idea to make the video, which Dean edited, directed and animated. Jenny and her friends said they were surprised at how popular the video has become and that they plan to make more Marcel videos soon. Hooray! What do you dolls think? Cute overload or what?! Had you seen the Marcel video before or is this your first time? Do you and your friends collaborate on creative projects like Jenny and her pals? And what&amp;amp;#8217;s the cutest thing you&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen this week? A baby giggling? A kitten playing with string?
