On his way to saving Christmas (or the Christmas celebration at Tatchester Cathedral) Kay meets giant mice, Pagan Gods, an evil governess, a cult, a boy in a waterfall and a Caroplane-Aeroplane.
 
The Box of Delights is a cult Christmas classic to the point where many people know whole sections off by heart. It's comparable to early [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] (for more than one reason) if it had been directed by [[David Lynch]] in a good mood. It's also similar, if only in tone, to the BBC Narnia adaptations which were made around the same time and also for Christmas showings.
 
Fans are known as Boxers and can be recognised by their reactions to mentions of the Purple Pim.
Line 17:
It contains examples of
 
* [[Age -Appropriate Angst]]: Completely missing. Scrobled Governess? Robbers in your house? Golly, don’t be pathetic!
* [[Badass Normal]]: Everyone {{spoiler|unless they aren’t normal}}
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Fat Joe and Foxy Charles
Line 53:
* Tomboy: Mariah, but not her sisters
* [[Totally Radical]]: They have their whole own dialect
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?]]: To say the Box of Delights is trippy [[Needs a Better Description]]. That could refer to the eponymous box or the film itself.
