Head Under the Streets of Cheesebridge – The Boxtrolls is Available Everywhere!

What happens when a little boy is raised by trolls that live under the city and wear boxes?! You get the Boxtrolls! Available everywhere today from Universal Studios, we were sent an advanced copy to review – and we absolutely loved the movie. We weren’t able to see The Boxtrolls in theaters while it was there – but a mixture of steam punk and fun, this stop animation movie is quickly going to become a favorite in our house.

Made by the same crew as Coraline and Paranoman, The Boxtrolls takes you on an adventure under the streets of Cheesebridge, to a cavern where trolls where boxes, and where they’re raising a human boy named “Eggs”. Eggs was found in the cavern as a baby and the Boxtrolls have decided to raise him as one of their own – Box and all! While living down below, Eggs finds out that the the villain of Cheesebridge is plotting to remove the Boxtrolls and everything below in the caverns. He’s sent on a mission to save the Boxtrolls and his way of life!
