The Boxtrolls is a 2014 Stop Motion animated film from Laika Animation Studios, the makers of Coraline and ParaNorman. Directed by Graham Annable (of Grickle and Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent fame) and Anthony Stacchi, it is loosely based on the novel Here Be Monsters! by Alan Snow. It features the vocal talents of Ben Kingsley, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Elle Fanning, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Toni Collette, Jared Harris, Richard Ayoade, and Tracy Morgan, with Dee Bradley Baker alongside Steve Blum as the primary actors for the title characters.Cheesebridge is a posh Victorian England-esque town obsessed with wealth, class, and the stinkiest of fine cheeses. The only thing that its residents are more obsessed with than cheese is their fear of the evil, murderous monsters that dwell in the sewers. At least, that's what residents have always believed. In truth, the boxtrolls are an underground cavern-dwelling community of quirky and lovable oddballs who wear recycled cardboard boxes the way turtles wear their shells. They've even raised an orphaned human boy, Eggs (Hempstead-Wright), since infancy as one of their own. When the boxtrolls are targeted by villainous boxtroll exterminator Archibald Snatcher (Kingsley), who is bent on eradicating them as his ticket into Cheesebridge high society, the kind-hearted band of tinkerers must turn to their adopted charge and an adventurous young girl named Winnie (Fanning) to save them all.You can watch the trailer here.

Brotherhood of Funny Hats: The White Hats, who rule Cheesebridge like a fiefdom and hold private tastings of only the finest cheeses. Snatcher and his men all wear equally silly-looking red hats.

Bloodless Carnage: The boxtrolls' boxes are completely devoid of blood and gore once they're crushed...because they weren't in the boxes at the time. And though it happened offscreen, according to Winnie, Mr. Snatcher's death wasn't exactly clean either. Played straight with Mr. Gristle, though.

Artistic License – Biology: Eggs' father was apparently hung upside down for ten years and made it out with no physical damage and a mild case of being driven insane. In Real Life, you’d die after hanging like this after only eight to ten hours.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: A mid-credits sequence has Mr. Trout and Mr. Pickles speculating about their animated existence and the lives of the giants who make them move. Meanwhile, an animator (Travis Knight) manipulates their stop-motion figures one frame at a time, and the camera zooms out to reveal that they're standing on a to-scale set of that particular street corner.

Ironic Echo: "You bit me, with your mouth" is first said by Winnie to Eggs, then by Snatcher to Winnie. When Winnie tries to retrieve her dad's white hat after throwing it away, she is met by Snatcher, who asks how the hat got all the way out on the street. Later, as Winnie tries to distract Snatcher while the boxtrolls dismantle his machine, she asks him the same question with the same hammy intonation.

Adaptation Deviation
 The Boxtrolls / int_23a1e2a9
comment
Adaptation Deviation: The movie is a very loose adaptation of the book Here Be Monsters! by Alan Snow. The only things the film has in common with it are the boxtrolls themselves, the protagonist being a human boy reared underground, a villain named Snatcher (with a henchman named Gristle) who's hunting the boxtrolls, and characters exploding after eating too much cheese.

Oppose What You Suffered
 The Boxtrolls / int_29e25672
comment
Oppose What You Suffered: Subverted by Archibald Snatcher, who, as a "Red Hat," is of lower social status than the "White Hats," but is quite willing to step on those who are even lower on the rungs of the social ladder than himself, i.e. the eponymous vilified boxtrolls. Played straight and even lampshaded by the Red Hats Mr. Trout and Mr. Pickles, who have a Heel Realization and, even when faced with failing to obtain a better social status by doing so, decide to aid the oppressed boxtrolls and their human allies Winifred and Eggs.

As they're having this discussion, the camera slowly zooms out to show the tiny set of the street they're standing on, and the scene turns into a time-lapse of them being animated, still discussing the universe.

comment
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The ending has Mr. Pickles and Mr. Trout discussing how neatly everything has wrapped up, as if it was a story, "assuming we're in one." The stinger goes on to have the pair debate their existence and whether all their actions are controlled by invisible giants. As the discussion continues, the audience sees the sped up movements of a stop-motion animator flitting about a miniature set manipulating them both. They finally conclude that such a job would be horribly tedious and that nobody would seriously do that as a primary line of work... just as the credits for the animators roll.

Post-Climax Confrontation: Eggs and the boxtrolls have defeated Archibald Snatcher's Tripod Terror and exposed his lies about the boxtrolls being baby-eating monsters... when Snatcher emerges from the remains of a giant cheese wheel, drunk on one of his "cheese fits", and holds Winnie hostage, blackmailing Lord Portley-Rind into handing over his nice hat and escorting Snatcher to his exclusive "tasting room". Fortunately, Snatcher's cheese obsession proves to be his own undoing.

Have You Told Anyone Else?: Snatcher does a version of this. When Winnie discovers that Eggs is the missing child as the exterminators are trying to catch him, Snatcher asks Winnie if her father is with her. When she says he isn't, he tries to kill her too so as to blame that on the boxtrolls as well.

 The Boxtrolls / int_6bd689ca
comment
Meaningful Echo: A minor one, but when teaching Eggs manners, Winifred tells him to tell people "it's a pleasure to meet you", even if he doesn't actually mean it. Later, when he leaves after the failed attempt at revealing the truth about his identity to her father, he tells her "It was a pleasure to meet you. And I really mean that." One of the lyrics in Madame Frou-Frou's boxtroll song is "Trubshaw Sr. loved his kid, the same as regular fathers did." Later on in the film, Snatcher menacingly sings this lyric to Eggs to confirm the identity of the insane prisoner in front of him. "Look what you did." The first time Trubshaw tells Eggs this (right after the boxtrolls seemingly get crushed to death), it comes off as the mad ravings of a man whose words unwittingly remind Eggs of his failure to save them. The second time (shortly after learning the boxtrolls are alive because of him), the words take on a whole new meaning as Trubshaw's lucid expression of how proud he is of Eggs' success to help them leave their boxes.

Giving Them the Strip: For boxtrolls, their boxes are like clothes, and taking them off is unheard of. Eggs' speech convinces them to overcome their shame and do it nonetheless when Snatcher is about to crush them all, so only their boxes get flattened while the trolls themselves escape naked (see Disney Death above).

Obviously Evil: Snatcher, and to a lesser extent his henchmen. Snatcher is a scary-looking pest exterminator who stirs up fear of innocent creatures in the populace of Cheesebridge, and absolutely drips Evil Is Hammy. Mr. Gristle viciously kicks boxtrolls to scare them out of hiding, and Messrs. Pickle and Trout, while they are much less scary, still participate in the campaign to exterminate the entire populace of boxtrolls.

Establishing Character Moment: When Snatcher sends his henchmen to 'acquire' the boxtrolls, each of their different personalities are demonstrated through how they engage in the conversation between them. Mr. Pickle prattles philosophically about whether a foot can be evil. Mr. Trout intelligently tries to clarify that Snatcher's "evil is afoot" speech is just an expression for "evil is near". Mr. Gristle just takes simple pleasure in kicking the hiding boxtrolls about.

Villain of Another Story: Lord Portley-Rind. Let's make a list: he wastes taxpayers' money and time just sitting around eating rare cheese, completely ignores his daughter to focus more on his hat and cheese, spends charity money for a children's hospital on a large wheel of cheese that most likely only he and his other White Hats would have eaten, completely ignores Eggs' public confession, tries to get out of his deal with Snatcher, when it is revealed the boxtrolls are alive he flat out rubs the fact into Snatcher's face that he will never get what he wants, and even when his daughter is caught by Snatcher and he has to trade his hat to save her he tries to negotiate with him for something else. If Snatcher wasn't such a monster, Lord Portley-Rind could have easily been the villain of this story.

Authority in Name Only: Lord Portley-Rind and his fellow White Hats. They appear to be the ruling body of Cheesebridge, but are obsessed with cheese and their hats to the point of completely neglecting their duties to the city... and in Lord Portley-Rind's case at least, their families.

Stock Sound Effect: Baby Kate Cry: In the flashback story, Baby Eggs does this while he's being lowered to the ground in his Eggs box. The thunder booms, the lightning flashes, and rain pours down as Fish bolts through the gate and out of the yard with Baby Eggs still in the Eggs box.

Giant Food: At the party at his house, Lord Portley-Rind is delighted to reveal a giant cheese wheel called the Briehemoth. The White Hats bought it with money meant for building a children's hospital.

What You Are in the Dark
 The Boxtrolls / int_afc6df04
comment
What You Are in the Dark: At one point of his scheme, Snatcher sadistically smashes the boxtrolls to extinction in one go in order to fulfill his bargain with Lord Portley-Rind and earn a white hat. Later, it's revealed that the boxtrolls escaped their boxes in the nick of time. Still, the fact that he crushes their boxes at all instead of any other method speaks volumes to the fact that he's willing to do anything in the name of getting a white hat.

Benevolent Monsters: The title characters are kind-hearted creatures that do little more than take trash to their underground lairs to make contraptions. The people above ground, however, fear them because they don't know what they really are, and are goaded along by the film's real Big Bad, who exploits their fear to advance his social status.

Tap on the Head: Giving someone a whack a large heavy object (like a wrench) is a great way to cause brain damage or permanently debilitating injury. Eggs' father didn't die when Snatcher hit him, but it definitely knocked a few of his screws loose.

Good-Times Montage: In the beginning, there's a lovely montage of Eggs growing up, making music with Fish, and exploring the world. It becomes something of a Sad-Times Montage, however, when the pile of sleeping boxtrolls becomes progressively smaller and smaller, signifying how the Red Hats are threatening their way of life.

Adaptational Wimp: Archibald Snatcher, who in the book was the head of the failing Cheese Guild and an Impoverished Patrician, who nonetheless had access to a fortified guildhall, a small army of thugs, and powerful friends. The movie Snatcher is a Social Climber "pest controller" who's generally regarded as a loser by everyone apart from his three henchmen.

All Trolls Are Different: The boxtrolls are short, Ugly Cute scavengers who wear discarded cardboard boxes (to the point of living in them, like a turtle's shell), live in the Absurdly-Spacious Sewer beneath the town of Cheesebridge, and love to tinker. The citizens of Cheesebridge see them as a menace (mostly thanks to the propaganda spread by Mr. Snatcher), but they're Not Evil, Just Misunderstood.

"Look what you did." The first time Trubshaw tells Eggs this (right after the boxtrolls seemingly get crushed to death), it comes off as the mad ravings of a man whose words unwittingly remind Eggs of his failure to save them. The second time (shortly after learning the boxtrolls are alive because of him), the words take on a whole new meaning as Trubshaw's lucid expression of how proud he is of Eggs' success to help them leave their boxes.
