I took this picture at Universal Studios Florida when I was there for Family Forward. It was so fun to see The Boxtrolls in person when I have been doing all this promotion for their film!!
The Boxtrolls are really good at having fun. Now that the Build a Boxtroll Sweeps has ended, they have moved on to a new contest! The Boxtrolls are working with the Imagination Foundation on some very fun events and a contest.
