This is the story of a boy raised by trolls living beneath a city that has wrongfully been taught to fear them. Fun for all who enjoy foundling stories, misunderstood trolls, feisty children, stories and animation that are quirky and just…

Though the claymation was interesting, the plot was extremely violent/evil for what appeared to be a kid focused movie, but not develop or complex enough for adults. It was hard to invest in the story line or even really the characters.…

The regional British accents made some of the story difficult to follow. Animation was complex, fascinating for my 6 year old but too busy for my 4 year old.
I enjoyed the plot and the balance if good and bad in some characters. Overall…

Beautiful animation and a truly clever plot, THE BOXTROLLS features one of my favourite villains in awhile. Villains always have a critical flaw, and the Snatcher's flaw is a doozy. (I wouldn't dare spoil it, though.) I feel that both THE…

The humor seemed for older individuals: 12 years and older. My 4-year old grandson liked looking at the DVD case but quickly lost interest.
I watched it myself. Though the animation technology was fascinating, I just couldn't get into…

As a grandmother and part-time nanny, I watch a lot of kids movies and enjoy some of them very much. This is a great film to watch with your kids; dramatic, hilarious, heartfelt! The work done on the animation is top notch and I am…
I did not see this film, but I used the information on CommonSenseMedia to decide whether it was appropriate for my children. Here's what they CSM website says about Boxtrolls: "Parents need to know that while The Boxtrolls isn't quite as…

Very well-done animation. The whole concept is a little strange, but actually very good. Some of the characters may be a little too scary looking for little ones.

This was a great movie. The illustrations weren't at all "cutesy", yet they were beautiful. One of my favorite things about the movie was it demonstrated to my 6 year old that people are not always how they seem & looks aren't…
This movie is so cute! Being the creators of Coraline and Paranorman, i thought that this would be some drastic creepy movie, but it proved me wrong. This movie is funny, witty, and has a great story line. I recommend this movie! P.S …
The original novel it's based on- "Here Be Monsters!" is a pretty cool illustrated read, btw.

Fun, quirky, fabulous, fantastic - a true masterpiece of stop motion/CGI animation. For the record, I LOVED every millisecond of Paranorman and expected Boxtrolls not to live up to that level, but boy, was I wrong! Boxtrolls is an awesome…
