"Old-fashioned stop-motion animation is combined with new-style 3-D cinematography to charming effect." -The New York Times

"In an age when most cartoon companies have traded pens for pixels, the magicians at Laika continue to create fantastically elaborate universes out of pure elbow grease." -AV Club

"Offbeat and original tale for kids (and adults) looking for something a little more challenging and completely off the wall." -Toronto Star

Presented in 3D. The creators of "Coraline" and "ParaNorman" introduce audiences to a new breed of family -- The Boxtrolls, a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who have lovingly raised an orphaned human boy named Eggs in the amazing cavernous home they've built beneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When the town's villain, Archibald Snatcher (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley), comes up with a plot to get rid of the Boxtrolls, Eggs decides to venture above ground, "into the light," where he meets and teams up with fabulously feisty Winnifred (Elle Fanning). Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs' family.
