‘The BoxTrolls’ Contest Results

Last week was a pretty busy time for contests around here. We’ve already given away three copies of the action hit ‘Lucy’ on Blu-ray. Today, three more winners will take home one of this year’s nominees for the Best Animated Feature Oscar: Laika’s stop-motion ‘The BoxTrolls’.

I’ll admit up front that this was probably a difficult contest. I had trouble finding a photo that would provide fodder for funny captions. Based on the lower than expected turnout, it looks like you had trouble with the picture I eventually chose. Nevertheless, we did receive some good entries.

As explained in the original post, we challenged you to provide funny or clever captions for the following image:

And the winner is...

Honorable Mentions

  3. Chapz Kilud: Troll. It’s what’s for dinner.

  7. KiKS: “Will we be getting a sequel, bud?”

    “Not sure… but we need to find a new name for a sequel if it happens? ‘Boxtrolls 2 ‘ sounds kinda lame…”

    “What about ‘Troll 2 In A Box’ “?

    “Okay… ‘Boxtrolls 2′ it is..,”

  8. Krawk: Seriously? With as big a budget as we have and we could not have spent 39 cents more for better mirror brackets.
