      The Boxtrolls: This Movie is Really Rare

      Whether the setting, music, and character design give people a sense of absurdity depends on whether they are people who only pay attention to power and enjoyment and do not listen out of the window. A person who is destined not to touch power and not to be robbed by a so-called "dream", a group of people who don't know the truth but make up their conclusions and spread falsehoods, a group of people who are kind-hearted but dare not stand up and resist, and confused and confused on...

      I'm not absurd at all

      I always like to believe that even unreal-looking sci-fi movies, cartoons and the like, like this animated movie, are alluding to the complex world we live in.

      So when I look at the clever, cowardly, misunderstood monsters in the movies, I think about the way Jews were in Europe. At that time, it was true that Jews were falsely told to eat children. People create fear because of greed, and hate because of fear. When all the monsters in the picture are locked up and building something,...

      textured art

      As far as the plot is concerned, "The Box Monster" doesn't seem to hold up much, but as a work of a younger age, the movie is still more than enough in all aspects. Not long after the film started, you can basically guess the setting and direction of the whole story. Audiences who are familiar with Hollywood animation movies will be somewhat fatigued, but personally I always feel that the clay stop-motion animation is like a work of art full of texture. The pictures and details are the...

      It's not the box monster that's ugly, it's the human heart

      The Boxtrolls, stop-motion animation.

      "The Box Monster" is a stop-motion animation produced by LAIKA in 2014. I sincerely hope that the art form of stop-motion animation will never die out in the commercial era of the fast era.

      Know Yourself, Unleash Your Power

      At 10 o'clock in the evening, I was not tired, and as usual, I wanted to watch a movie. Accompanied by my 9-year-old daughter, I accidentally turned to this cartoon movie. Although the characters are quirky and the plot absurd, we are fascinated by watching and watching.

      The story tells about a city in Western Europe (from an industrial level, it should be the era of the industrial revolution of steam engines), in the layers of buildings on the ground, city residents live, and there...

      Watching "The Box Monster" has a familiar look and feel. The sarcasm and joy in stop-motion animation is similar to that of China's "The Story of Avanti", but now we not only stop moving forward, but stop-motion animation is like ink animation. China has been silent for a long time, but this most primitive way of film animation is still blooming with its own unique...

      The Easter egg at the end is so beautiful, salute to the staff behind the scenes! The Box Monsters are kind, timid and afraid of life, but they are actually quite cute. The story is, the people in the town, the mayor and the villain are not sober as the angry little girl, but the underground world of the Box Monsters is really beautiful. || Commemorative! I watched yeah on my TV after I bought the...

    Movie plot

    "Cheese Bridge" was a glamorous city during the Victorian era. The residents here were obsessed with wealth, rank, and stinky cheese! However, under their unique cobblestone roads live a group of "terrible" monsters. They crawl out of the sewer every night and steal the children and cheese from the residents' homes-of course, this is only a side word of the local residents! In fact, "The Boxtrolls" are a group of very cute and shy...

    The film is fast-paced, surrealistic but interesting. "The Boxtrolls" is a crazy farce with visual innovation. It's ridiculously excessive. ( Review of "Leisure London"
    The film is full of rich literature, each character has a certain depth, it is not a simple cartoon, you can see more things. ( "The Philadelphia Inquirer" review
    "The Boxtrolls" is full of charm in every aspect-a gorgeous animation style that combines high-tech...
