Heartwarming detailing in 'The Boxtroll'

I like this video very much, the details are very touching.
1. Describe the deep friendship between Eggs and Fish: the fish picked up a teddy bear for the eggs, even if the red hats came to catch them, the fish hid the teddy bear in the box, and after returning to the cave, used the bear to tease the little egg; Play instrumental concert games with eggs; entertain insects together.
2. Describe the character of the box monster: even if the companion is taken away, he just shakes his head, then hides in the box and never resists. They just like to collect small parts and gadgets that other people throw away, a group of cute and timid creatures that feed on all kinds of insects.
3. The boss of the red hat: The white hat that symbolizes privilege, dignity and status is pursued wholeheartedly. Even if he eats cheese, he will swell up big bubbles, but he still perseveres. For the sake of the white hat, he will do anything to frame and harm innocent Box monsters, disguise himself as a fashionable lady, perform in person, and instill the evil deeds of various Box monsters that he has fabricated to the public. In the end, he died of an allergy from eating too much cheese.
4. The fat subordinate of Boss Red: As a member of the Box Monster Terminator, under the command of the boss, he has always convinced himself that catching the Box Monster is the victory of justice over evil, but he is also constantly doubting: the Box Monster is really Evil? Is the Box Monster Terminator really killing the people? When they caught the box monster, they had never seen the box monster do anything wrong, and the box monster never resisted, just caught it. As the subordinate of Boss Hong, his heart is not bad.
5. Repeated control elements: the fish is looking for eggs at the beginning of the story and the eggs are looking for fish at the end; the "you bite me?! With your mouth??" Vinnie said to the eggs, and the red boss said the same thing to Vinnie; At the beginning, Vinnie taught Eggs how to shake hands when meeting people: look at each other's eyes, shake each other's hands, and say "nice to meet you", even if it's not sincere, when saying goodbye to Vinnie, Egg learns so much Use: "Nice to meet you, I'm sincere."
6. Smile point: Egg made a fool of himself at the dance because he didn't understand human etiquette. This part is particularly interesting!
7. The ending is also very interesting: with cute sketches The animation shows part of the outline of the story. Borrowing two subordinates of the red bosses, it shows the difficulty of making stop-motion animations. The construction of each scene, every action of the characters, and even the blink of an eye must be carefully discussed. (pay tribute)

    Mechanical Lost City is still in the cult style! In the end, when I swallowed the piece of cheese, I knew it was going to come, but I was still shocked because I subconsciously thought that shai was shi and hid back! ps, the ending animation is really fun, and technically shows the stop-motion animation~

    Easter eggs are awesome! Moved cry! I feel that there are quite deep political metaphors in this book. Although the story is still not complicated, it is worth thinking about a lot more. Tribute to the maker again ~ hard work!
