Plot

Cheesebridge is a posh Victorian-era town obsessed with wealth, class and the stinkiest of fine cheeses. Beneath its charming cobblestone streets dwell the Boxtrolls, foul monsters who crawl out of the sewers at night and steal children and cheese. At least that’s the legend. But when they're targeted by a villainous pest exterminator, Archibald Snatcher, The world of Cheesebridge is about to discover there is considerably more to the boxtrolls than the nightmares they tell their children. A beautifully crafted, imaginative, touching, witty, teasingly creepy masterpiece from the same stable as 'Coraline' and 'Paranorman'
