I found this figurine in a display at the Saanich Fair in Saanichton BC a couple of years ago. It was so cute, I just had to take a shot close up. Have I mentioned that I’m fond of cute?

Anyway, a few days ago, my very creative friend Wendy Bancroft of It’s About Us Productions, posted a couple of links on her Facebook page. They were for two episodes of a short story about “Marcel the shell with shoes on”.

The videos are here and here.

The films are Directed by a fellow named Dean Fleischer-Camp, and if you are a sucker for ‘cute’, they are well worth the watch.

When I saw this photo today, I started hearing Marcel talking again. What can I say….it’s all sooo creative and I wish I had more of that gene.
