Family, Movie

Box Trolls Movie Teaser Trailer

Box Trolls Movie

A whole new kind of family movie is coming out in September. A society of trolls adopts an orphan boy named Eggs. As you can see from the teaser trailer below these trolls are a bit weird and strange looking. They are fun and playful and protective and loving of Eggs. Here is some more information about and the teaser trailer for the movie.

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

Writer: Based on the novel Here Be Monsters by Alan Snow

Voice Cast: Ben Kingsley, Toni Collette, Elle Fanning, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Jared Harris, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade, Tracy Morgan

Release Date: September 26th, 2014

Custom Kreon Megatron


Photo-A-Day #3255

The other day I wrote about my custom Kreons that I picked up. Yesterday’s Photo was of Optimus Prime. Today I decided to shoot the Megatron figure. The pieces for the Megatron figure are okay but they really should have a black fusion cannon instead of a silver one and a grey helmet instead of the translucent helmet and the silver helmet. Both figures are missing some very specific pieces. There should be an orange energon ax for Optimus Prime and there should be a purple energon mace for Megatron. That would have made the set much better overall, plus the other things I said about the Optimus Prime Custom Kreon.
