A good movie
"The Boxtrolls" (2014)
It's funny how they're marketing this as "from the makers of ParaNorman" even though it doesn't share any of the same creative team.

Laika has great ability when it comes to seamless stop-motion and their stories are clever and quirky. This film doesn't go off-trend but it does lack in comedy where there should be. The characters, especially the trolls named after their previous box contents, are memorable and it's a good addition to the Laika brand.
