The siblings have trapped Floyd in a diamond perfume bottle, which they use to extract his essence and improve their singing, but the process will eventually kill him. As the Perfect Family Harmony is the only thing that can destroy the bottle, Branch reluctantly agrees to help John Dory find their brothers and rescue Floyd.

There's more than a bit of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book - the classic story of Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves - at the heart of The Boxtrolls. Much of the fun comes from watching as Eggs grapples with the fact that he might not be a boxtroll, much to his distress, and from watching him try to fit in as a human, knowing absolutely nothing about human culture. Which all comes about when a girl named Winnie (Elle Fanning) inadvertently falls into the world below the town. Complicating matters further, she's the mayor's neglected daughter who's desperate in her own way for her father's attention. What ensues is Eggs coming to terms with who he is, and what he must become if he's to save his adopted community and the only family he knows. Golden Globes 2017: The Complete List of Nominations".

The film's opening premiere opened at the BFI London Film Festival Opening Celebration on October 8, 2016 as a special BFI presentation, and was theatrically released on November 4, 2016, in the United States by 20th Century Fox, and in the United Kingdom at an earlier date of October 21, 2016. The biggest omission from this release is the 3D version of the film. Since it was specifically shot with 3D in mind, it’s a shame that it hasn’t been included here (although you can still find it for a decent price). Not included from the previous Universal Blu-ray release is a set of six Preliminary Animatic Sequences with optional audio commentary by the directors ( Baby in the Trash, Eggs in the Underworld, Man on a Horse, Trubshaw’s Inventorium, Cheese Shop, and Tea and Cheese). Aside from those missing bits, The Boxtrolls soars in 4K.
