It's a wonderful world, full of Rube Goldberg contraptions below and colorful Dickensian squalor and excess above.

It's a felt, funny, bracingly sincere kids' movie. And even more refreshing, it takes as a theme our social fixation with waste, salvage and repackaging.

In a weak year for feature-length animated films, "The Boxtrolls" was clearly the best in my estimation. That doesn't sound like much of a recommendation, but it truly is.

A delightful film that provides a kid-friendly story at the expense of dark realism.

Laika's technical implementation is exquisite, in what is their most complex undertaking yet.

There are many more delighted 'Ewwws' than too-easy 'Awws' in this charming, if a tad cynical, feature from the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman.

Stuffed full of quirky details, bizarre characters and cockeyed humour.

It's a world that runs in a parallel universe akin to that of Charles Dickens, with creatively named characters involved in seemingly outlandish adventures in a Victorian-era city where a moral or two plays out in the end.

Without being didactic, "The Boxtrolls" presents the dangers of a hierarchical society, separated out into high-status and low, and also has some very interesting and moving things to say about identity, family, and morality.

The Boxtrolls represents the best animated movie to reach theater screens since The Lego Movie exploded on the scene in February.

The Boxtrolls is a thoroughly enjoyable movie that I already have plans to see a second time.
