Marcel the Shell's Alamo Drafthouse PSA gets sweet with its shushing

[NelsonG]

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (voiced by Jenny Slate) is here to tell you not to talk or text when you go to a movie theater.

As part of Alamo Drafthouse's latest moviegoing PSA, the sweet stop-motion shell asks audiences to please not talk while watching a movie. However, he says if someone forgets and starts talking, a "normal shushing is enough."

"You don't have to make a meal out of it," Marcel points out. Plus, a normal shush gets bonus points for sounding like the ocean. You can't compete with that.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is now open in select theaters; expands nationwide July 15.
