Bright things are not necessarily as beautiful as they appear, and ugly things may have a warm and kind heart. Just like the residents and box monsters in the film, their qualities are exactly the opposite of their appearance, so you must feel them carefully, not hearsay, let alone judge people by their appearance! In the end, Eggs managed to bridge the gap between humans and box monsters, and the wicked got their due. Although it is still the expected Happy ending, the development of the entire storyline and the educational significance of the story itself are still remarkable!

    Continuing LAIKA's usual dark fairy tale line, but this time the characters are even uglier and exaggerated, and I can't find a likable character...

    5 points. In addition to the texture of the picture, stop-motion animation is no longer necessary. Still, you will be surprised at the easter egg at the end, salute. Aside from the form, the story is more general, and it can even be said that it is a little childish. A lot of the creator's energy is spent on manually adjusting the character's movements, and there is no time to worry about other aspects. It takes so much energy to make stop-motion animation, why not design the characters to be pleasing to the eye...

The Boxtrolls quotes

  • Winnie: BoxTroll Exterminators? They live down in Curds Way.

    Eggs: How do I get there?

    Winnie: Curds Way?

    [pointing at street sign "Milk Street"]

    Winnie: Milk turns into it.

    [rimshot is heard]

  • Eggs: I told you, we don't eat people.

    Winnie: [challenging] Why do you keep saying "we"? You're not one of them. You're a BOY.

    Eggs: [denying it] No I'm not, I'm a Boxtroll.

    Winnie: Oh, really? Let's see you fit in your box.

    Eggs: [making excuses] I can't right now. I'm long-boned.

    Winnie: And you don't talk like them.

    Eggs: I have a speech impediment.

    Winnie: Your ears aren't pointed.

    Eggs: I slept on them funny.

    Winnie: [when Eggs keeps insisting he's a Boxtroll] Oh, for goodness sake, give me your hand. I don't bite.

    Winnie: [compares Eggs' hand to that of a Boxtroll's hand, who only has 3 fingers, and the middle finger is huge] See? You're not like them.

    Winnie: [places her hand against his hand, and their fingers line up] You're one of us. You're a boy, Eggs.
