Marcel the Shell is back, and he's on a mission.

The pocket-sized (but don't leave him in there) hero of Jenny Slate and Dean Fleisher Camp's viral 2010 video will star in a feature film directed by Camp in which Marcel embarks on a search to find his family.

The trailer finds Marcel (voiced once again by Slate) is living comfortably with his grandma Connie (Isabella Rossellini) when an Airbnb customer finds and decides to make a film about them. Marcel's story goes viral as he hopes to find others like himself in this script by Slate, Camp, and Nick Paley.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On arrives in theaters June 24.
