Dir. Dean Fleischer Camp. 2022, 90 mins. With Jenny Slate, Rosa Salazar, Thomas Mann, and Isabella Rossellini.

A beloved character, created by Dean Fleischer Camp and Jenny Slate and previously featured in three award-winning stop-motion animated short films, gets his big-screen debut in this hilarious and heartwarming story about finding connection in the smallest corners. An A24 Film. The film opens in theaters June 24.
