Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Brian Juergens (209) for The Backlot (9) on 25 Sep 2014

Laika's simplest story to date, a lean bedtime story dressed up to the nines in their trademark swooping, spiraling visual wizardry…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By John Semley (121) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 25 Sep 2014

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Sheila O'malley (474) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 25 Sep 2014

It's gloriously inventive, wonderfully funny, and gorgeous to look at, the screen filled with sometimes overwhelming detail…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 25 Sep 2014

I know I should like it. It's produced by Laika. The stop-motion animation is imaginative and brilliant. But…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 25 Sep 2014

What Laika is able to accomplish on a technical level is to be admired as much as their social concerns, but The Boxtrolls just doesn't resonate…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 25 Sep 2014

Boxtrolls stands reasonably well on its own, as a cool steampunk fairy-tale that serves as yet another testament to the artistry of the folks…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 25 Sep 2014

No one does depth-of-field like Laika - they make use of the three-dimensionality of the medium like no one else…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 25 Sep 2014

There's little conventional about this movie at all. Thank heavens…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Anna Smith (519) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 25 Sep 2014

While the plot is straightforward, characters are well-drawn, many defined by ironic delusions…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Dave White (762) for Movies.com (1,002) on 25 Sep 2014

That rare thing in mainstream film: a bold aesthetic move wearing its Dickensian dirtpride like a rusty medal, daring you to suggest it's not…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Steve Persall (1,105) for Tampa Bay Times (1,287) on 25 Sep 2014

The Boxtrolls is a visually repellent pile of stop-motion animation, populated by grotesques and filmed in the palette of an exhumed casket's…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Chesaro (12) on 25 Sep 2014

Very very nice movie, its weird as hell, but that's what you should expect after Coraline, Paranorman and the night before Christmas…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Lisa Kennedy (833) for Denver Post (1,096) on 25 Sep 2014

There are many more delighted 'Ewwws' than too-easy 'Awws' in this charming, if a tad cynical, feature from the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Todd Jorgenson (1,852) for Cinemalogue.com (1,236) on 25 Sep 2014

generally lacks the narrative freshness and charm to supplement its visual ambition…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 25 Sep 2014

With top-notch animation, effective voice casting, and a screenplay that falters only toward the end when faced with the need to provide a…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Annlee Ellingson (847) for L.A. Biz (397) on 25 Sep 2014

At once a clever satire on class that toys with gender stereotypes and a frightful family adventure with a hand-to-heart sweet-natured handmade…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Pete Hammond (936) for Deadline Hollywood Daily (332) on 24 Sep 2014

Another winner from Laika. It has heart, humor and beautiful animation. What more could you want…
