LAIKA: The Boxtrolls (2D/3D) Special!!! review by Hag and Con
Out on DVD, Blu-Ray, 3D Blu-Ray and Digital Download/On Demand 26/1/15 (PG) Hag 4.5 Stars/ Con “TOP END” 5 Stars
Parent View:
Much like Frankenweenie, ParaNorman, Coraline and Nightmare Before Christmas. Some Kidz won’t be fans of Boxtrolls but I did think originally Boxtrolls was a ‘Marmite movie’- Now I’m not so sure.
It is scary in places and sometimes a bit gross – but if you like classic dark fairy tales this is a corker. After many views I can now see Boxtrolls is not Marmite – Its just unique compared with most movies released. Hag (10), Con (7) and Bex (3) all loved the film. Its a Modern Classic that will be loved for generations to come!!!
3D Blu-Ray Review:
There’s a really good but subtle use of 3D for this film. Boxtrolls feels more like a ‘real life’ puppet show in you’re lounge rather than a out and out 3D bonanza.
Stand out 3D Moments – Eggs and Boxtrolls being chased over the rooftops, The finale explosion (No spoiler) and Snatcher eating Bats cheese (No Spoiler)
