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^_^

    The visual effects are great, some cute points. Unfortunately, the story is too old-fashioned and too rough. However, the warm clips still want to keep playing.

    Great fairy tale, simple story.

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.
