Focus Features has just released both a new clip from and a new featurette about The Boxtrolls, Brought to you by Portland-based studio that brought us Coraline and ParaNorman.

A family event movie from the creators of Coraline and ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls introduces audiences to a new breed of family. The Boxtrolls are a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who have lovingly raised an orphaned human boy named Eggs (Hempstead-Wright) in the amazing cavernous home they’ve built beneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When the town’s villain, Archibald Snatcher (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 (Fanning). Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs’ family.
The Boxtrolls hits theaters on September 26.
