‘Boxtrolls’ Premiere: Exclusive Interviews with Elle Fanning, Ben Kingsley and More

It was a real pleasure to cover the red carpet premiere of the new animated film “The BoxTrolls” (in theaters Sept. 26). The only thing more adorable than the movie’s fantastical protagonists are the talented actors that bring them to life with their voices.

In this exclusive video you can see what Elle Fanning, Ben Kingsley, Nick Frost and directors Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi told us about their experience with Laika Studios’ latest creation.

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 Winnie (Elle Fanning). Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs’ family.
