Trailer for The Boxtrolls

The Boxtrolls are odd underground creatures that wear cardboard boxes as if they were shells.

They are crowding the streets at night to recycle rubbish from dustbins and store it in their homes below the streets of Cheesebridge.

The Boxtrolls are not a menace for the city, yet their exterminator Archibald Snatcher wants to vanquish them. They have a protector, however, named Eggs! He is a young boy who was adopted as a baby by the boxtrolls. Eggs will bring out the courage in ever boxtroll being!

Inspired by the 2005 novel 'Here Be Monsters!' by Alan Snow, the movie is directed by Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi. The script was written by Irena Brignull and Adam Pava.

'The Boxtrolls' will be released in the UK on September 12th 2014.

Starring: Simon Pegg, Elle Fanning, Toni Collette, Ben Kingsley, Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade, Jared Harris, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Tracy Morgan, Laraine Newman, Sam Lavagnino.
