Directed by Anthony Staachi and Graham Annable and based on the novel ‘Here Be Monsters’ by Alan Snow. ‘The Boxtrolls,’ which is set to be released in theaters on September 26, was written by Irena Brignull.
The following synopsis for ‘The Boxtrolls’ has been released:
A family event movie from the creators of ‘Coraline’ and ‘ParaNorman’ that introduces audiences 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.
