Proof That Boxtrolls Will Be One Of The Year's Most Striking Movies

io9.com: Laika's next stop-motion venture, The Boxtrolls, is bringing a lush world of crooked buildings, lavish costumes, cheese-fiending villains, and, of course, the Boxtrolls themselves with their elaborate mechanical inventions. We visited the set, and if you have any doubts about the movie's glorious puppets, props, and sets, take a behind-the-scenes look at The Boxtrolls.

This area of the entertainment industry makes everything else look easy. To be a part of the creative team on one of these stop motion productions takes a level of dedication, patience, and ability very few possess at the same time. While few audience members pay attention to the intricacy and detail put into productions, like costume, lighting, and scenic choices, every member is affected by them. In a production like this, where no actors are involved on screen, everything was designed with no true limitations. Things can be manipulated as desired. This type of effort makes the appeal in going to see it that much greater. Even though not everyone will recognize these same things, simply choosing to the see the movie because the trailer intrigued them, once it is seen, the detailed aspects of it will draw audiences in to continue seeing it.
Without a doubt, the Boxtrolls will be a hit movie.
