The Boxtrolls

The Boxtrolls animation is really very difficult to review, because it's kind of not good. The animation is really bad. The characters are really ugly and the story is not that good. So, it turned out to be not very good animation. If I have to watch this animation, I rather choose the other animation(s) because this one is not worth watching. Some people might think this animation is a good one. As for me, it's really bad. If you want to see some cute animation and sweet story, don't ever watch this animation.

A well deserved Oscar nomination goes to this movie. After waiting all through the summer The Boxtrolls had finally been released. This is the story about the Boxtrolls that is monsters living in the caves underneath a city build on a hill. The city looks just like Montmatre. It's like the end of the 1900's Montmatre. A boy lives with the Boxtrolls, and they are hunted by the humans. It all ends with a fight against a huge machine that captures the Boxtrolls. As if it isn't enough the villain explodes at the end. If you love charming and thrilling movies like Coraline go watch this. 10/10

"The Boxtrolls" have a charm in them, that is for sure. Also a guarantee is the artistic flair of the Stop-Motion animation provided, always, by Laika. The biggest problem with the movie lies in the choices of the screenplay. Although, there are some great messages about life in general and being open to any differences people out there have, there hasn't been enough effort for any of the above to flourish. Things are easily jump for point A to point B, but they are doing so pretty obviously and so any magic of the story is lost. I can say that i recommend this one to everyone, mostly due to its animation, rather than the story it depicted.

We took our grandchildren to this film recently. In my opinion it is one of the most disturbing children's feature we have experienced. It was hard to distinguish who the goodies and who the baddies were - the characters were all quite grotesque. The scenes where a character experienced angio doema after eating food was particularly difficult to watch. This is a serious condition when experienced - requiring immediate and drastic medication to be administered. It isn't a joke and untreated could prove deadly. I could not even see any humour in it at all.
