Episode 65 - The Boxtrolls
from In The Queue - Film Conversations with Andrew and Phil Hosted by Andrew and Phil
If nothing else, a cautionary tale on the allergic complications of cheese. Archibald Snatcher is a rotten sort; an ambitious citizen of Cheesebridge who longs to be a member of the privileged circle of White Hats. He sets about doing so by ridding the town of Boxtrolls, who have recently been maligned as responsible for kidnapping a local child. As the story progresses, the child has grown and his name is Eggs. The boy's moniker is derived from the type of box he is wearing. His fellow box trolls are named Fish and Shoe. You get the idea. When they're not donning unflattering cardboard, the Boxtrolls are a jovial bunch and pose no threat at all to the people of Cheesebridge. Eggs decides he will fight Snatcher to save the day. Along the way, the boy meets Winnie who is a disenchanted daughter of a local politician. In her own manner, she contributes to the hero's journey Eggs will undergo. And the cheese? It'll do funny things to your face...if you are Snatcher.
