The third feature from Laika, the studio that produced Coraline and ParaNorman, and possibly a contender for the Best Animated Feature this year, if it's as good as those two. They seem to be the only place committed to making stop-motion animated features, which is a worthy goal (I wish there was one for simple hand drawn animation too). This looks good though, following in the eccentric and kind of quirky footsteps of the other films. It's always refreshing to see animated movies that don't have that same, tired, ironic humor that for me is really getting old. The Boxtrolls comes out September 26th.
