The Boxtrolls (2014)


Despite its beautiful and wildly imaginative stop-motion animation which recalls those Rankin-Bass Christmas specials of your childhood (Jack Frost, Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer, etc), this kids movie about underground-dwelling troll creatures who - what? - wear boxes, invent things, and raise a boy, is dreary with the voice-acting and the story hanging detached from the animation, a shame given those visuals.

★★☆☆☆
