A brand-new featurette has been released for the upcoming film, The Boxtrolls over at Apple Trailers! You can see the new featurette below. In the video, you can go behind the scenes and see a sneak peek at some of the sets and backdrops used in the unique world of the stop-motion LAIKA film.
The Boxtrolls comes from the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman. In the stop-motion film, audiences are introduced 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 movie was directed by Anthony Staachi and Graham Annable and was based on the novel “Here Be Monsters” by Alan Snow.
The voice cast includes several amazing actors and actresses such as Ben Kingsley, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Elle Fanning, Jared Harris, Toni Collette, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade, and Tracy Morgan.
The Boxtrolls releases in theaters on September 26 and you can watch the new featurette below!
