blakewest-230-498298 ######Spoiler Alert for everyone, especially children.DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!The movie is a bit dark but the bully gets it. Sort of a good story about adoption. Boy falls in love after severe warnings not to do so.The ruining factor is that #####Spoiler alert######the star boy, after getting his true love, commits suicide. Yes, life is great so now I will kill myself. What kind of losers make a movie for anyone, especially teens, that glorifies suicide. That is violence and should make this rated R. There is NOTHING GOOD or entertaining about suicide. Ruined the whole movie and evening.

pinkarray I found myself skipping through the film as I do not like the Laika- like style and animation for the beginning. So, at some points it is sub-par but others, I just hate it. The story is also not quite as interesting, it's pretty sentimental as it's about a boy with a cuckoo- clock on his heart that tells him the three rules: "Not to fall in love, not to get angry, and not to touch the hands of the clock" or he will die. Madeleine protects him from it.He then meets a little girl while wandering off that is the same age as him, singing while winding up a music box. He then starts to fall in love with her. While, I admit, this does has cute romance, I didn't care for the Boxtrolls style and animation for it.

teresemolin So.. this is an interesting movie. I absolutely get that people find it exciting and different, but for me it lacks heart. If the storyline was better I think it could be great... It has progressive music and animation but that's about it...And it's not, it's really NOT for kids. I just want to say that I'm a young person who doesn't think that kids are too fragile too watch anything but Winnie the pooh, (that's not it). But this movie... It's very dark, it's extremely sexist, there's bullying (extreme), ..SPOILERyeah, and Jack the ripper is in it, singing of how he enjoys slicing up women, both redheads, blondes and brunettes, (all of em should taste some).SPOILER endsI don't know. I think it's just too much. Without any morals or warmth what so ever. So. It's a movie for grown ups. Don't watch it with your kids cause they won't get it at all, and probably end up having some terrible nightmares...

Cody Konior It takes a lot for me to sign up to IMDb and review a movie, but I had bad feelings about this movie from the opening, then stopped watching at 30 minutes in and jumped to the end to see what happens.In summary the movie is about a boy who's mother leaves him, has his heart taken out, told never to fall in love, gets bullied terribly, when he stands up for himself his foster mother gets thrown into prison and dies while he is on the run, and his girlfriend neither loves him or trusts him also leaving him to die. All wrapped in musical numbers where at age 11 he sees a girl for the first time and sings about tearing off her clothes with his teeth. The movie looks pretty. It sounds interesting. But I have fairly low standards and couldn't watch through this tripe. Neither for kids or adults I don't know who the audience is but they are not of this Earth.
