Running Time : 97 mins
An orphan known simply as Eggs (Hempstead-Wright) has been raised by a mysterious band of secretive creatures called Boxtrolls who hide from humanity by disguising themselves as boxes. When Eggs hears of a plot by an evil exterminator called Archibald Snatcher (Kingsley) to destroy all the Boxtrolls, Eggs must journey into the human world to explain the Boxtrolls position and save them from destruction with the help of a tough young girl called Winnie (Fanning).
This is such a fun movie, and though based on a book it still has that feeling of originality that so many animations these days seem to lack. It has that wonderful stop-motion feel of films such as Coraline and Frankenweenie that you can’t do justice to with one hundred per cent computer animation and the characters are so likeable that it’s hard to resist such a charming children’s tale.
