Colour Box: The Boxtrolls

Based on Alan Snow’s children’s novel Here Be Monsters, this charming stop-motion fable from the makers of Coraline is the perfect film to get kids and parents in the mood for Halloween.

Eggs is a young orphaned boy raised by the Boxtrolls, trash collectors who live in a cavernous realm under the streets who are under threat from the posh town’s villain, an evil exterminator named Archibald Snatcher. Eggs has to venture above ground into the light to save his friends, teaming up with the feisty Winnifred as they hatch a daring plan to save the underground community.

Before the screening, join the Colour Box team in the Performance Studio for an hour long drop-in workshop where you can prepare something suitably spooky for this year’s Halloween!
