It was put together on a shoestring by a group of filmmakers, most of whom had just gotten their careers underway, together with a cast that joined them with great enthusiasm. But it has outlasted any of the series that came before, or after. It was merely one of a string of annual training films for Sunday School workers in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints. Those who worked on it may not have expected it to have the long life it has had. In the short ebook pictured at right, I’ve set down my recollections of working on this classic, and of discovering the location no one believed was there. Perhaps even fewer are aware of how it all came together, especially in the unusual circumstances involved in finding a location that many believe may have made the film possible. Today, not many are aware of the chain of events that led to the making of this classic short film, or that it faced the real possibility of not being made at all. When I was sent to Hawaii to look for a location for Johnny Lingo, everyone I spoke with told me what I was looking for didn’t exist on the island of Oahu.

Its story, about love and respect and loyalty, is certainly timeless.

When the Boxtrolls are targeted by a villainous pest exterminator who is bent on eradicating them as his ticket to Cheesebridge society, the kind-hearted band of tinkerers must turn to their adopted charge and an adventurous rich girl to bridge two worlds amidst the winds of change â and cheese. The Boxtrolls have raised an orphaned human boy since infancy as one of their dumpster-diving and mechanical junk-collecting own. In truth, the Boxtrolls are an underground cavern-dwelling community of quirky and lovable oddballs who wear recycled cardboard boxes the way turtles wear their shells. At least thatâs the legend residents have always believed. Beneath its charming cobblestone streets dwell the Boxtrolls, foul monsters who crawl out of the sewers at night and steal what the townspeople hold most dear: their children and their cheeses. The Boxtrolls is a comedic fable that unfolds in Cheesebridge, a posh Victorian-era town obsessed with wealth, class and the stinkiest of fine cheeses.
