box monster

It's a humorous fable. "Cheese Bridge" was a glamorous Victorian city with residents obsessed with wealth, class, and smelly cheese! Yet beneath their fancy cobblestone roads live a horde of "horrific" monsters, who craw out of the sewers every night to steal children and cheese from residents' homes - and that's just the locals, of course! In fact, the "Box Monsters" are a group of very cute and shy creatures who hide in recyclable cardboard boxes, just like turtles like to hide in their shells. The Box Monsters adopted a human orphan and named him "Dansheng". This little boy became good friends with an adventurous, earthly girl, Wen, and they needed to build a bridge between the Box Monsters and humans -- especially It's when human politicians paint the Box Monsters as a bunch of scary monsters for votes, and then incite the populace to expel them...

Gothic animation, probably the box monsters in the underground world are regarded as harmful monsters by the people in the town, but they are actually a group of cute, timid and pollution-free heavy-gathering treasures. The plot after entering the underground from the world on the ground reminds me of "Zombie Bride", but the style of this movie is not as scary as the previous rendering of Zombie Bride, and the overall tone is warmer. Children can also read it, and teach everyone not to judge people by their appearance, and to really understand others, instead of just listening to rumors.

nice anyway

    It takes ten minutes to keep up with the worldview of the film.

    Hierarchy. The red hat who wants to jump to the white hat is also very bad.

The Boxtrolls quotes

  • Archibald Snatcher: When I destroy every last Boxtroll in this town, I shall EARN my white hat, and join you in the Tasting Room.

    Lord Portley-Rind: [facetiously] Good Lord! I don't know who should be more terrified: the Boxtrolls or us.

  • Archibald Snatcher: [as Madame Frou-Frou, singing, verse 1] Ten years ago a plot was hatched, Where evil was with cunning matched. Whoever left their doors unlatched, Would find their infant children snatched by Boxtrolls. Ooh, no, Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 2] Trubshaw Senior loved his kid, The same as regular fathers did. If you don't want to share his plight, Make sure that you are locked up tight from Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 3] For this night, baby's dad Trubshaw, Quite forgot to lock the door. And as soon as he began to snore, The Boxtrolls came in to withdraw poor baby! Those vile Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 4] So lock your windows, bolt your doors, or Boxtrolls with their creepy claws, Will take your children in their paws, And drag them down to feed their jaws. Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 5] Mr. Trubshaw went quite wild, When he found out he'd lost his child. He did what any dad would do. He ran off swiftly to pursue those Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 6] Help, help, help me, please, won't you? But the Boxtrolls did what Boxtrolls do. They snatched him up and began to chew, Until there was no residue of Trubshaw's.

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 7] They pulled him down into their nest, Hardly pausing to digest. They left his bones, but ate the rest. Never be a dinner guest of Boxtrolls. Oh, those Boxtrolls!

    Archibald Snatcher: [verse 8] So that's the story of the Trubshaw Kid. Don't do what Father Trubshaw did. If you see Boxtrolls don't placate them, Catch them and exterminate them- the Boxtrolls! Kill those Boxtrolls! Kill those Boxtrolls! Kill those Boxtrolls!
