Use animation to interpret reality-don’t continue to be "box monsters"

The animation itself is mediocre, but it has a lot of meaning.
For example, white hats and cheese should symbolize power and interest. They come from "Who Moved My Cheese"; the
box monsters must come from "The Man in a Case". They are timid, kind, wealthy, and they are also exploited and oppressed. Will not resist; the
box blame terminator represents various groups such as unscrupulous media, unscrupulous businessmen, and even gray area organizations that distort facts, create public opinion, and manipulate innocent and weak civilians for their own benefit. They are criminals. ;
Lord and friends no doubt on behalf of the rulers, they Guanguanxianghu form a community of interests, they only care about "white hat" and "cheese";
Lord on behalf of loyal daughter rulers around, they are eager rulers can correct judgments and decisions, But usually admonitions are ignored, and even the rulers do not even listen. They only care about their own "cheese";
human citizens should represent other arty, ignorant, foolish people who are deceived by public opinion and politicians.

It is said that it was shortlisted for this year’s Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. I wonder if it won the crown because of its symbolic meaning^_^

    Although it is a very traditional storyline and theme setting, there are two very endearing little protagonists and two supporting roles, and the last two supporting roles are self-analysis/animation revealed Easter eggs, haha.

  • 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.
