Review of The Boxtrolls (2014) by Julie K — 20 Jun 2015
Visually this movie was amazing! The texture and fluidity of each prop to animation is the best I've seen in stop-motion but the story is just too typical... I understand The Boxtrolls was based off an already existing novel but that doesn't justify making an adaptation of a plot that is just so outdated. The comedic cue, dialogue and theme has been fed to us since the 1920s. I don't want another old-timey Mickey the Mouse cartoon! I'm sick of it! It is such a waste of talent, money and time!
You guys are artists! Why aren't you exploring and innovating!? Please invest more on story development than technical development. I would have given this movie a 0 star if not for its wonderful design.
