Entertainment Reviews:
Witty, funny, fast paced and not even two hours long, I think I might have enjoyed it more than my daughter and her friend did.

Lagniappe (Mobile, AL)
The film's idiosyncratic character design and veddy English quirks might not appeal to every moviegoer's palate, but its admirable refusal to beg for your sympathies, deftly executed by a game voice cast, brings out your inner Wild Thing.

The Boxtrolls, a film I enjoyed on many levels but which contains some destructively retrograde messages, mixed in with its mostly progressive ones...

[E]very frame of the film is a marvel of creativity and craftsmanship, and the filmmakers stuff the margins of their plot with lots of offbeat humor... -- Grade: B+

Rating: 4/5 --
Laika understand that the best children's movies have an inherent sense of horror. The Boxtrolls isn't as indebted to the genre as ParaNorman, but it does contain more than its fair share of moments that will give younger viewers sleepless nights.

Yet as winsome as these critters are, it is the movie’s virtuosic animation itself that steals the show, dazzling our eyes with its technical artistry...
Washington Post
A film that is oh-so enchanting and charming thanks to eye-popping visuals, perfect voice casting and a fantastical story for all ages.

Behind The Lens
Product Description:
Subterranean trolls raise an orphaned boy, who helps them fight back against an evil exterminator and make peace with the fearful residents of an upper-crust Victorian-era town known for its world-class cheeses. The two things the people of this posh town treasure most are their children and their cheeses; unfortunately, those are also the things that the Boxtrools - a race of unsightly, sewer-dwelling creatures - covet most. Clad in cast-off cardboard boxes as they scuttle about underground, the Boxtrolls may look like a fearsome bunch, they're actually quite friendly. Having previously adopted an orphaned infant named Eggs (voiced by Isaac Hempstead-Wright), the diminutive tinkerers raise him as one of their own. Meanwhile, Eggs may be the Boxtrolls' only hope for survival when scheming exterminator Archibald Snatcher (voiced by Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley) seeks to earn his entry into the ultra-exclusive Cheesebridge society by eradicating the misunderstood creatures once and for all. Little does the villainous Snatcher realize that Eggs has a wealthy friend named Winnie (voiced by Ellie Fanning), and that Winnie may be the key to solving the longstanding feud between the people above, and the benevolent creatures below.
