Score 1 of 3 ‘The Boxtrolls’ DVDs, courtesy of Universal Sony Home Entertainment.
The latest hit creation from Academy Award-nominated animation studio LAIKA (behind Coraline and ParaNorman), unspools beneath the charming cobblestone streets of Cheesebridge, a posh Victorian-era town obsessed with wealth, class, and the smelliest of fine cheeses – and there dwell the Boxtrolls. The local residents see them as foul monsters who crawl out of the sewers at night to steal children and cheese. In reality, the Boxtrolls are an underground community of lovable oddballs who find their necessities in dumpsters.
The Boxtrolls have raised an orphaned human boy, Eggs (voiced by Isaac Hempstead-Wright), since infancy as one of their own. When villainous pest exterminator Archibald Snatcher (Ben Kingsley) targets the Boxtrolls, hoping to get rid of them all in an effort to gain his ticket into Cheesebridge society, the kindhearted band of tinkerers must turn to their adopted charge and adventurous rich girl Winnie (Elle Fanning) to bridge two worlds.
