The Boxtrolls to Roll into FirstEnergy All-American Soap Box Derby
Get ready to roll, Boxtrolls. America's FirstEnergy All-American Soap Box Derby holds its 77th annual World Championship finals at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio on Saturday, July 26 - and characters from The Boxtrolls will be joining the fun.
Focus Features is partnering with the International Soap Box Derby and inviting families attending the World Championship to explore the fantastical world of The Boxtrolls as an official sponsor of the FirstEnergy All-American Soap Box Derby.
At Derby Downs all day Saturday before the final races, fans will be able to meet the Boxtrolls, view the custom-built car on display, get free Boxtrolls gear, check out exclusive sneak preview clips from the new movie, and enter the Boxtrolls' fantastical home environment with an immersive photo experience. Following the day's interactive activities, quirky, mischievous creatures Fish, Shoe, and Sparky - in a racer powered by gravity and steered by the Boxtrolls themselves - will make their inaugural run on the speedway course in an exhibition race just before the Derby finals.
During the week-long festival, interactive experiences will include Boxtrolls surprises at the Monday, July 21st "Rock the Rec" event and the Thursday, July 24th "Topside Show," at which the stunning custom-built soap box car from the world of The Boxtrolls will be unveiled.
