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 embodiment of the hard work and sweat of the production team. There is nothing particularly outstanding about the film, but it still maintains a consistent production level.
