Laika has had success with the likes of Coraline and Paranorman and they return this year with The Boxtrolls, which looks like it could be a lot of fun – and as the very first trailer suggested, it’s a movies for all families, no matter the gender make-up of the parents and kids. Now a new trailer for the movie has arrived, which you can watch right here.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘A family event movie from the creators of “Coraline” and “ParaNorman” that introduces audiences to a new breed of family – The Boxtrolls, a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who have lovingly raised an orphaned human boy named Eggs (voiced by Isaac Hempstead-Wright) in the amazing cavernous home they’ve built beneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When the town’s villain, Archibald Snatcher (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley), comes up with a plot to get rid of the Boxtrolls, Eggs decides to venture above ground, “into the light,” where he meets and teams up with fabulously feisty Winnifred (Elle Fanning). Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs’ family.’
The film’s currently due out in the US on September 26th, 2014.
