I can't remember the last time I saw a family animation so visually rich, tightly scripted and charmingly performed which was also built on a sound and progressive message.
In an age when most cartoon companies have traded pens for pixels, the magicians at Laika continue to create fantastically elaborate universes out of pure elbow grease.

The Boxtrolls es una de esas películasde animación disfrutables y que son bastante adecuadas para los niños.
Esta película nos demuestra y es otro ejemplo deque Laika Entermainent nos ofrece trabajos de animación de calidad (ya que están también Paranorman, Coraline, Corpse Bride), y ya este es otro trabajo de esta empresa hecho en Stop-Motion, que resulta entretenido, carismático, divertido y que tiene un diseño de arte muy realista y bien hecho, que hacen de este film un placer para la vista.

The Boxtrolls has a rich, edgy texture that makes it stand out from other animated films.
The script lacks the wit of "Wallace & Gromit."
The Boxtrolls is a swing-and-miss for Laika; when you move forward with revolutionary techniques while standing still in terms of your themes, stories and settings, no amount of technical trickery or animation genius can bring the boring to vivid life.
The meticulously crafted world is stunning to behold, imagined to the minutest detail and photographed with the sort of dramatic lighting and dynamic camera movement rarely seen in stop-motion. Trouble is, it’s not a place most folks would care to spend any time.
The Boxtrolls feels rough-and-tumble and not as much fun by half.
Best animated movie of 2014. The characters actually mean something(unlike Big Hero 6), the story is entertaining, and the graphics are absolutely gorgeous. This should have beat that crappy Big Hero movie.

The first film from Laika was the wonderfully gloomy "Coraline." They got even darker with "ParaNorman" and have moved into the grotesque territory this time. A strangely quaint village is terrified of the underground trolls who wear boxes like turtles. When an orphan who they raised surfaces, he sets out to make things right. There's no denying that the stop-motion animation is amazing, but the art direction and character design is downright bizarre. Some of the thick British accents present challenges, especially at the beginning. This variation on a traditional story is framed in a twisted creation. NOTE: Stay thru the credits for a fascinating look at an animator working.

It's my least favorite Laika film. I fell asleep twice watching it. It has a weak plot. Visually speaking, I think ParaNorman and Coraline have a better and more beautiful animation. I really liked the way they handled the villain, his alter ego is probably the best thing of the movie. The film does leave us with a good message that Laika likes to put in their movies... The real monster is the human being.

I've never seen such a bad movie. The Boxtrolls has a poor story and voice overs, and nothing can save it from the creepy animation. The visuals are so distracting because it looks so stiff, and is really hard to watch. The whole film is awful, and I didn't enjoy one part.

I saw this movie in cinemas with a family member and I regret going. I thought this movie was terrible very boring. I don't think any kid should see this movie. I'm very disappointed. I thought some scenes of the movie weren't necessary. It didn't have much of a fun story. But if you are going to see it warning some scenes are dark.
Dont get this movie its very disappointing. WORST movie I've ever seen!
