Escapes, supported by the BFI awarding National Lottery funding, continues its mission to celebrate the magic of independent cinema with its latest joyful release Grand Prix of Europe, a high-octane animated comedy packed with heart, humour and an all-star voice cast. With two exclusive screenings on Monday 4th August and Tuesday 5th August, ahead of general release, families across the UK are invited to buckle up for a fast-paced and unforgettable cinema adventure – entirely for free.
Starring prominent British names such as Gemma Arterton, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Hayley Atwell, Lenny Henry and Rob Beckett, Grand Prix of Europe follows Edda, a young mouse with dreams of racing stardom. When a twist of fate puts her behind the wheel in the legendary Grand Prix of Europe – disguised as her idol – she must navigate wild challenges, rival racers and unexpected traps to prove that courage, friendship and believing in yourself can carry you across the finish line.
Filled with excitement, laugh-out-loud moments and a powerful message about chasing your dreams, Grand Prix of Europe is a heartful animation ideal for families. From mini motorheads to fans of feel-good storytelling, this fun-filled feature is the perfect way to kickstart a summer holiday to remember.
Releasing in the heart of the UK summer break, Grand Prix of Europe offers a high-energy, zero-cost afternoon out for families looking for something truly special. Whether you’re after big laughs, inspiring heroes or simply a great afternoon out, Escapes has your ticket – and it doesn’t cost a penny.
Since its launch in February 2024, Escapes has brought over 115,000 people back to local cinemas with bold, conversation-starting films and free nationwide screenings.
