MSC Aggie Cinema<\/a> and the School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts<\/a> welcome Jenny Slate to Texas A&M University on Thursday, April 20 for a screening of the Oscar-nominated animated film, \u201cMarcel the Shell With Shoes On<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stop-motion film, based off the 2010 original series of the same name, focuses on Marcel and his adventures as he seeks to find fellow survivors and long-lost family members after his community of shells is ravaged by a mysterious tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slate, co-writer, producer and voice of Marcel, will take part in a moderated discussion after the screening. Moderated by Patrick Sullivan<\/a>, lecturer and program director of the film studies minor in the Texas A&M School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts, the discussion will focus on Slate\u2019s experiences in her comedy, writing and professional roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
