A very good movie, there are so many cute points in it, it is a family-friendly movie. The imagery of the film is also well done. Cheese is used as a symbol of materiality, and the white hat is a symbol of power. The side reflects the people who are blinded by fame, money and power. Only the innocence and kindness of the two children and the box monsters are real.

In the movie, Winnie's father is a very ignorant and pedantic ruler. However, all he cares about is the cheese in his tasting room, and he thinks about pleasure all day long, but he doesn't know that his white haired son, who symbolizes power, has been missed by others for a long time. When various emergencies happened, I thought he would deal with the emergencies, but all he cared about was his cheese, which made people a bit ironic and at the same time had to ponder that this situation is not completely uncommon in real life. It exists, but the movie makes it more exaggerated and more artistic.

The film's portrayal of the villain "Mr. Red Hat" is also very successful. He sacrificed everything for power. Some people say that he is not wrong. He has always insisted on his dream and only worked hard for that white hat. It's just not the right way.

Eggs said something very touching, when he finally wanted to stop Mr. Red Hat from continuing to work hard: He said that no matter where you live or what you wear, you are you and can't be changed (roughly speaking, I ca n’t remember the specifics)

Stop-motion clay animation is also quite expensive and labor-intensive to do. Every action, even every expression of a character, a slight blink, takes a long time. It is not easy to make a movie. Although I have never studied stop-motion animation, I don’t know how hard it is to make such a film, but I also deeply feel the hard work of the production team, and I am really moved. It seems to be a very rare work of conscience! highly recommended

    The murder caused by a white hat. Focus Last year, the "psychic boy" played the gay side ball. This year, the "box monster" finally started to let cross-dressers enter the room. "The box, the hat, the cheese are not you, you are you."

    Very cute~ I was very moved to see the easter eggs. It turns out that the production process of this kind of cartoon is so complicated. . It's really hard work for the director team. cv actually has Kingsley~~ hahaha.

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!
