The Boxtrolls is a 2014 American stop-motion animated fantasy comedy film produced by Laika. Loosely based on Alan Snow's 2005 novel Here Be Monsters!, the film was directed by Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi. It features the voices of Ben Kingsley, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Elle Fanning, Dee Bradley Baker, Steve Blum, Toni Collette, Jared Harris, Nick Frost, Richard Ayoade, Tracy Morgan, and Simon Pegg. Set in the fictional European country of Norvenia, the film tells the story of Eggs (Wright), a human boy raised by Boxtrolls—subterranean trolls who wear cardboard boxes—as he attempts to save them from being exterminated. In 2008, Laika unveiled a slate of projects in development, including an animated feature film adaptation of Here Be Monsters!. While the animation technique was not yet decided upon, Stacchi was set to direct the film.

Each of you opens The Boxtrolls on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
