The wise abbess sends her away to be the governess for the seven children of stern widower Captain von Trapp. The children are uncooperative until Maria wins them over, sharing her love of music and teaching them to sing.

In the Victorian-esque town of Cheesebridge, the well-to-do citizens obsess over exotic cheeses and fret about the boxtrolls - a community of quirky, mischievous creatures who have lovingly raised an orphaned human boy named Eggs. When the town's villain, Archibald Snatcher, 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. Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs' family!
