So I just finished watching Boxtrolls for the first time.
The bit in the credits with Mr Pickles talking about “what if there are invisible giants controlling our every movement” is pure gold meta joke material. Plus Winnie’s obsession with gore is great for a girl with curly pigtails who wears frilly dresses and I love it so much.
The lack of any romantic sub plot was refreshing as well. Now that I think about it Laika hasn’t had any significant romance in their movies, which explains why I love them so much. Their movies are more about family than anything else and it is just so great and wonderful.
I fucking love Laika movies.
