First Trailer for Laika's Next Stop Motion Wonder, The BoxTrolls!

We adored Coraline, and fell in love with the janky world of ParaNorman. Now feast your eyes on the latest wonder from stop-motion powerhouse studio Laika, The BoxTrolls!

This movie features the voices of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Toni Collette, Ben Kingsley and Jared Harris — I think it's safe to assume that the BoxTrolls are British. The characters really remind us of Molly Crabapple's characters from the "I Have Your Heart" short. So far, looks like we're getting another winner from Laika. Fingers crossed for this one, here's the official premise.

A young orphaned boy raised by underground cave-dwelling trash collectors tries to save his friends from an evil exterminator. Based on the children's novel 'Here Be Monsters' by Alan Snow.
