Description

Animated fantasy adventure featuring the voices of Isaac Hempstead Wright, Elle Fanning and Ben Kingsley. Below the streets of Cheesebridge live the Boxtrolls, a community of cave-dwelling and cardboard box-wearing creatures, who are believed to pose a threat to the citizens of the town and their children. However, in truth they pose no such threat and have even raised an orphaned boy, Eggs (voice of Hempstead Wright), as one of their own.

Archibald Snatcher (Kingsley), a local pest exterminator, hatches a plan to get rid of the Boxtrolls for good as a means of securing his place within the town's cheese-loving elite. When the Boxtrolls hear of Archibald's plan it then falls to Eggs to save the day, since he is the only member of the group who can remain undetected on the city streets. He ventures above ground and soon befriends local rich girl Winnie (Fanning), who agrees to help Eggs save his adopted family from extinction.

The voice cast also includes Simon Pegg, Toni Collette and Richard Ayoade.
