Sincere stop-motion animation

There are not many jokes in the story. Many places appear dark, and the egg mate, who grew up with the box monster, can speak English, which is actually quite buggy. But if you think about these heart-wrenching box monsters, and the poor Cheese Bridge residents, and then look at the innocent and brave Egg Singer and Winnie, you will suddenly feel that there is light and warmth in the world.

Tolerance and understanding, harmony but difference, are the cornerstones of civilization. Repulsion and killing will be like a self-destructed Snacher, who will perish on his own.

As for the white hats, perhaps as long as there is still cheese one day, they can't refuse their appearance.

In general, this is a sincere stop-motion cartoon, and the story is more humorous than laughing.

    7.2 points. Although clay animation is serious, the support of the plot is more important.

    I admire LAIKA's firm freeze-frame plot, but this story is a little dull, even if it can be used as an LGBT metaphor.

The Boxtrolls quotes

  • Winnie: [When Eggs states that he is a Boxtroll] Oh... really? Then let's see you fit into your box!

    Eggs: Err... I can't right now.

    Winnie: [nods head] Ummhmm.

    Eggs: I'm long boned.

  • Herbert Trubshaw: [chained up, hanging upside-down, and swinging back and forth] Jelly. Jelly. When I'm good, I get jelly. I like jelly. JELLY!
