Back in July the first teaser for The Boxtrolls got a lot of interesting for showing its gay-friendly colours by showing off families of all types. Now we can take a fresh look at the movie, including behind the scenes of the stop-motion flick.
Heres the synopsis: The new 3D animated feature from Laika Studios tells the tale of the Boxtrolls, monsters who live underneath the charming streets of Cheesebridge, who crawl out of the sewers at night to steal what the townspeople hold most dear: their children and their cheeses. At least, thats the legend the townspeople have always believed. In truth, the Boxtrolls are a community of lovable oddballs who are raising as one of their own an abandoned and orphaned human boy named Eggs. When the Boxtrolls are targeted by a villainous exterminator who is bent on eradicating them, Eggs must venture aboveground to save them, where he teams with an adventurous young girl to save not only the Boxtrolls but the soul of Cheesebridge.
It’s a while until we can see the finished film, as it’s not set for release until September 2014.
