Trailer: International look at Laika Studios' The Boxtrolls

Focus Features has released a new international trailer for Laika Studios’ The Boxtrolls.

This stop-motion animation follows the group of titular cuboid shaped underground dwellers that live underneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When an orphaned human boy makes it into their world they attempt to raise him as their own.

The film features the voices of Ben Kingsley, Toni Collette, Elle Fanning, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Jared Harris, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade, and Tracy Morgan.

The Boxtrolls is out in Ireland on September 12th.

The new 3D animated feature from Laika Studios tells the tale of the Boxtrolls, monsters who live underneath the charming streets of Cheesebridge, who crawl out of the sewers at night to steal what the townspeople hold most dear: their children and their cheeses. At least, that’s the legend the townspeople have always believed. In truth, the Boxtrolls are a community of lovable oddballs who are raising as one of their own an abandoned and orphaned human boy named Eggs. When the Boxtrolls are targeted by a villainous exterminator who is bent on eradicating them, Eggs must venture aboveground to save them, where he teams with an adventurous young girl to save not only the Boxtrolls but the soul of Cheesebridge.
