This was a cute Animation. I enjoyed it with my son. He's a big fan of Paranorman, so I knew he was going to enjoy this one made from the same group. I had no idea what the story was about. Thought it was just about these trolls that wear boxes. There is more to it than that. It's a charming story about a boy who was raised by these "boxtrolls" and about the town who despises them. I had no idea that both Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, etc.) were a part of this. Oh, and there are a lot of cheese eating scenes here. So this would be a good movie to pair with a variety of cheeses. It was a short and simple movie for those young at heart to enjoy.
This makes yet another great Animation movie this year. I have not seen any that sucked. For the record, I have yet to see Rio 2 (which I've heard wasn't good). Definitely recommend this one.
Here's a pic of my little troll before the movie. Chocolate milk, optional.
