As September 26th gets closer and we’re starting to see TV spots for The Box Troll movie, we’re getting more and more excited in our house for its release into theaters! After Emi saw this video from You Tube showing how some of the movie was made using stop motion, she was extra excited because she loves making stop motion videos of her own on her iPad!

We been visiting the official Box Trolls site quite often lately and playing the “Make your own Box Troll” game. It’s really fun! You need to go try out!  I’ve got some free activity sheets that go along with the movie for you. There’s a fun maze, an unscramble activity, a word search and some other printables. Just click on the image below to take you to the link where you can download and print out some of your own!

Un sinópsis de la película:
Un evento cinematográfico para toda la familia de los creadores de “Coraline” y “ParaNorman”, que le presenta a las audiencias a un nuevo tipo de familia: los Boxtrolls, una comunidad de criaturas estrafalarias y traviesas que han criado con amor a un niño humano huérfano llamado Eggs (con la voz de Isaac Hempstead-Wright) en la asombrosa casa cavernosa que han construido debajo de las calles de Cheesebridge. Cuando el villano del pueblo, Archibald Snatcher (el ganador del Premio de la Academia Ben Kingsley), propone un plan para eliminar a los Boxtrolls, Eggs decide aventurarse a la superficie, “para encontrar la luz”, y allí conoce y se hace amigo de la fabulosamente enérgica Winnie (Elle Fanning). Juntos, conciben un osado plan para salvar a la familia de Eggs.
