Review of The Boxtrolls (2014) by Freedomfighters — 09 Jan 2017

"The Boxtrolls" has been receiving some...criticism? I don't know how to describe it, but it's seems like filmgoers are generally seeing this as one of Laika's lesser films. Outside of this, I've only seen "Coraline," so I can't really compare, but all things considered, "The Boxtrolls" is definitely a well-made animated film.

It's pretty funny, the characters are solid, the animation is great, and the film is exciting. Sure, the writing isn't as tight as it could be, but all in all, "The Boxtrolls" is a fun animated film that, while it might be a bit too gross-out for some younger viewers, is definitely worth a watch.
