“THINK INSIDE THE BOX” WITH AMAZON.COM CONTEST
INSPIRED BY FAMILY EVENT MOVIE
THE BOXTROLLS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SANTA MONICA, California, September 17th, 2014 – To celebrate this month’s nationwide release of the family event movie
The Boxtrolls, Focus Features has teamed with Amazon.com for the
“Think Inside the Box” contest. The most original and creative Boxtroll
costume made out of the distinctive Amazon.com box (or any unbranded
cardboard box) will be determined by the contest
judges and Amazon.com Facebook fans, with the winner receiving $3,000
in Amazon.com Gift Cards.
The contest, which runs through Friday, October 17th,
invites participants to make a costume the way the Boxtrolls do – out
of a box – and submit a photo via Amazon’s Facebook page. A panel of
judges
will evaluate all submitted original costume creations inspired by the
Boxtrolls themselves. The resulting finalists will then be put to a vote
on the Amazon Facebook page, where fans will weigh in to select the
lucky winner. Photos must be submitted by Friday,
September 26th; voting takes place Monday, October 13th through Friday, October 17th. Contest details and a link to the rules can be found at
www.amazon.com/boxtrolls.
Wearing
boxes like turtles wear their shells, the Boxtrolls are kindhearted
tinkerers who have used their imagination to build a home and community
beneath the cobblestoned streets of the town of Cheesebridge.
They are always making unique and creative costumes, using their
imagination. Among the Boxtrolls friends – named after what was
originally in the boxes they wear – are Fish, Shoe, and an 11-year-old
boy named Eggs who thinks he’s a Boxtroll.
About The Boxtrolls
Being released nationwide by Focus Features on Friday, September 26th,
The Boxtrolls (www.TheBoxtrolls.com) is the all-new family event movie from LAIKA, the creators of
Coraline and ParaNorman, that introduces audiences to a
new breed of family – The Boxtrolls, a community of quirky, mischievous
creatures who have lovingly raised a human boy named Eggs (voiced by
Isaac Hempstead Wright of
Game of Thrones) in the amazing cavernous home they’ve built
beneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When the town’s villain, Archibald
Snatcher (Academy Award winner Ben 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 Winnie (Elle Fanning of
Maleficent). Together, they devise a daring plan to save Eggs’ family. Based upon the book
Here Be Monsters, by Alan Snow, The Boxtrolls is directed by Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable and is MPAA-rated PG.
