Review of The Boxtrolls (2014) by Scari R — 06 Dec 2014
From the animators who brought us 'Coraline' and 'ParaNorman' comes a fairy tale about a boy named Eggs, who was raised by some cute underground trolls. Each night the trolls come above to explore the world above but the citizens they see them as monsters. It is up to Eggs to change the views of the people above.
The movie is quite sweet and very original for kids. The quality of the stop motion always astounds me much as it did when I first say Ray Harryhausen's effects in 1981's 'Clash of the Titans' as a young kid.
The movie does get dark in places but if the kids loved 'Coraline' and 'ParaNorman' then they will be fine with this new film. (4 out of 5) So Says the Soothsayer.
