Let's Talk About Boxtrolls - Video Essay 

Finally someone talks about this beautiful piece of animation!

Historically women were not allowed to perform in theater until the 17th century Before that men would dress in drag to play the roles as women. Women were also not allowed to sing in churches so boys would be castrated to be able to sing the high notes in song. So Snatcher dressing as a women to perform on stage is somewhat historically accurate.

THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER LAIKA FILM AND I STILL LOVE IT TO THIS DAY. THIS MOVIE IS UNDERRATED. THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS. 😭

Totally agree that Box Trolls is underrated. I just rediscovered the movie and have been searching for anything else related to it. I love all the villains but especially Mr. Gristle. He isn't the brightest bulb in the socket but he surely made me laugh. Now I've got to find the book.

I remember watching this on my 11th birthday, the same day it came out

I fell in love with Boxtrolls from its first teaser trailer. Egg as a toddler was adorable and the phrase, "Some families come in all shapes and sizes, even rectangles" captured my heart. The Boxtroll film did not disappoint. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Di_w1K5fEMg.html

Great video! I love your editing style, you deserve wayyyy more subscribers imo. Also I legit thought this movie was a fever dream I had when I was like 8. Thinking back on it this movie definitely triggered this weird childhood cheese snob phase…tbh I don’t even know what I was on as a kid.

Nice man you always bring the heat! I think it’s interesting that laika reshows coraline and paranorman every year in theaters but never this movie or even kubo. I know this film has a fan base, even if it is pretty small

Thank you Thank you

Very nice

Actually the movie is based off the book if I’m thinking of the same one

This movie seems a lot better then i remember it lol. For whatever reason I thought it was really cringy

SOMEONE’S TALKING ABOUT BOXTROLLS Me: 🥹🥹👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Favourite movie thank you for reviewing this

It is underrated. But out of the main LAIKA films I’ve seen it’s still at the bottom for me. My ranking goes in ascending order Boxtrolls, Coraline, ParaNorman, and Kubo and The Two Strings. I’m not interested in watching Missing Link.
