The Boxtrolls
[PG] 2014 | Family/Fantasy/Comedy | 1h 40m
“The Boxtrolls is smart, absurd, wonderfully ugly, and brilliantly put together. From its atmospheric design to its wonderfully self-aware mid-credits sequence, it is a superb family film. It is not just for its time but for generations of children to come too.” – Grant Watson, Australian film critic
Eggs (Isaac Hempstead-Wright), an orphan, lives with the Boxtrolls — a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who inhabit a cavern beneath the city of Cheesebridge. When villainous Archibald Snatcher (Ben Kingsley) hatches a plan to get rid of the pretty harmless beings, Eggs decides to go above ground, where he meets and befriends feisty Winnifred (Elle Fanning). Together, Eggs and Winnifred devise a daring plan to save the Boxtrolls from extermination.
