About this movie

From the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman comes a magical family adventure about heroes in all shapes and sizes: the Boxtrolls. Quirky, mischievous and good-hearted, these box-wearing creatures have lovingly raised a human boy named "Eggs" (voiced by Isaac Hempstead Wright) in a charming cavern below the bustling streets of Cheesebridge. But when evil Archibald Snatcher (voiced by Ben Kingsley) decides to capture the lovable misfits, it's up to Eggs and his feisty young friend Winnie (voiced by Elle Fanning) to save the Boxtrolls. "Also featuring the voice talents of Jared Harris, Nick Frost, Toni Collette and Tracy Morgan, critics are calling The Boxtrolls "A delectable treat!" -- Brian Truitt, USA Today.

Ratings and reviews

Well, the movie looked great. Said it was available for 30 days. My daughter and I go to watch it after it was ordered,and its gone. We have to order it again. I got a promotional from my Chromecast so I thought I'd try. Glad I didn't spend my money on it. Sorry Google saying its good for 30 days should mean exactly that. I will continue to use Amazon. I may only be able to cast from computer, but at least they are reliable.

I love movies with this style, because the new movie dialogue is terrible. Their all like " YO YOU WANNA PLAY ON MY WII U?" This takes place in England a long time ago, with modern movies taking place in LA revolving around gangs. But still the worst Tim Burton movie ever made. This movie had so much potential.

The movie to me was AWFUL. In the whole story I was so bored I actually fell ASLEEP 30 minutes into the movie! On the title it said oddtrolls because there so weird, not just the trolls the KID was weird two. Who could live underground live off of BUGS and live with trolls in general. Anamation..... HORRIBLE...storyline.....when I watched it for 30 minutes I said this to my mom when I woke up............mom I was so of course during the story what was going on. Do not buy if you do not like quirky movies.
