The Boxtrolls



Written by Irena Brignull and Adam Pava and directed by Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi this 2014 Oregon-based studio stop-motion and CG-film was nominated for 1 Oscar and 50 other nominations and garnered 10 wins that year. It goes without saying that it certainly took a great deal of work to complete this film. Delightful from beginning till end; it was loaded with cute comedy and grand adventure!

With an estimated budget of $60 million USD and a run-time of 96 minutes, the story was inspiring and entertaining and the voices were just as colorful and meaningful throughout. English Academy Award Winner Sir Ben Kingsley, English Isaac Hempstead Wright, American Elle Fanning, American Tracy Morgan, and many others brought the children’s novel ‘Here Be Monsters’ by Alan Snow to life! The soundtrack was just as tantalizing and the magic and magnificence created in this film is one to be remembered for years to come! My favourite detail would have to be the ‘teeth’! 


A film I would love to watch with my ‘future’ family and a family fantasy fun you can enjoy today!
