Boxtrolls is a 96 minute feature length stop motion film that explores use of customised puppets and intricate sets. I've been looking into some research into how the Boxtrolls was delicately produced with numerous character puppets and their alternate reactions.
Alike to many stop motions of its time, it required an abundance of patience and delicate engineering to ensure that the stop motion ran smoothly and efficiently with the money and time given. The sets were produced in large scale designs, ensuring that movement and detail could be captured in more detail. The longest stop motion to hit the screens to date, the Boxtrolls really in my opinion from what I've seen captures an entertaining plot line with simple animation elements.
Laika who's produced other animations in the past (none as successful)
speak of how the intricacies take a lot of time and patience which is crucial in the overall success. They even produced an intricate water system to replicate the sewers which looks beautiful when captured on camera.
