Review of The Boxtrolls (2014) by Bikerjames — 27 Sep 2014
The animation is great, the voice characterizations excellent as well. However, when I watch an animated film I expect to laugh. I never laughed out loud once, only a chuckle here and there when the boy interacts with his fellow humans for the first time during a party.
In fact, I laughed more during the preview of the SpongeBob Squarepants movie before this movie started than I did for the entire Boxtroll film. I'm sure you will be asking yourself the same question I did - how did this boy learn to speak perfect English since he was raised by trolls that don't speak English? I also thought the filmmakers were trying to cash in on the Minion craze, and Minions are much funnier.
Still, I appreciated all the work put into the film and I didn't get bored so I give it a pass. Barely.
