Laika Releases New Teaser for ‘The Boxtrolls’

Laika Studios releases a third teaser trailer for their new stop-motion animated feature, The Boxtrolls, featuring Cee Lo Green’s cover of "(You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care." 

Laika Studios has released a third teaser trailer for their new stop-motion animated feature, The Boxtrolls. The latest trailer features Cee Lo Green’s cover of "(You're So Square) Baby, I Don't Care," made famous by Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly:

Directed by Anthony Stacchi, the film is based on Alan Snow’s novel Here Be Monsters, which follows a group of sewer-dwelling Boxtrolls that have raised an orphan boy. The voice talent for the film includes Ben Kingsley, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Elle Fanning, Jared Harris, Toni Collette, Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade, Tracy Morgan, and Simon Pegg. 

A family event movie from the creators of “Coraline” and “ParaNorman” that introduces audiences to a new breed of family – The Boxtrolls, a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who have lovingly raised an orphaned human boy named Eggs (voiced by Isaac Hempstead-Wright) in the amazing cavernous home they’ve built beneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When the town’s villain, Archibald Snatcher (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley), comes up with a plot to get rid of the Boxtrolls, Eggs decides to venture above ground, “into the light,” where he meets and teams up with fabulously feisty Winnifred (Elle Fanning). Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs’ family.

Released by Focus Features, The Boxtrolls opens in theaters on September 26, 2014.
