Don't you like Generic Super Hero Movie #872391? /s

Have you watched Marcel The Shell With Shoes On?

Marcel isn’t a kids film. Firmly for adults. A tampon is a character.

Oh no. It's got one of those things that every kids mom has a box of in the bathroom. How will they ever cope?!

It's not an animated character, and is on screen for all of five seconds as part of a crowd scene.

Among other adult things with eyeballs glued on. There’s also a scene of domestic violence.

Look, we get very, very few animated films for adults. I think we should acknowledge and appreciate when we do, and not automatically assume animated = for kids.

There are many challenging animated films still aimed at kids if you want to recommend those. But they’re asking for a family film, and Marcel is aimed and written for adults.

It's rated PG. Kids can absolutely watch and enjoy the movie

I think kids could probably handle it, but it’s aimed at adults. Kids might be bored by the long pacing. Young kids may struggle with the depiction of domestic violence.

Did we watch the same movie?

Pretty sure we did. I was grateful to see an adult animated film that didn’t rely solely on crass humour, though it did get some in there.
