Guests and celebrities attend exclusive screening
of new 3-D animated film at Venetian Theatre
(Macao, March 1, 2014) - Cotai Strip Resorts Macao hosted a movie premiere and red carpet event for DreamWorks Animation's latest 3-D animated comedy adventure blockbuster, "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," Saturday at The Venetian® Macao, part of the DreamWorks Experience at Cotai Strip Resorts. The red carpet and premiere event at the Venetian Theatre marked Hong Kong and Macao's first screening of the movie, where invited celebrities and guests, media, members and service users from six community associations enjoyed the adventure-comedy.
Attendees included celebrities Mandy Lieu, Lelia Chow and Jo Koo, as well as Almen Wong, Crystal Kwok, Joyce Lee, June Chan, Raymond Cho and Elaine Chiang, Peter Cheung and Eugina Lau, and Power Chan and Mimi Lo, who were present with their children. Of the moviegoers participating, over 300 were from community associations including Against Child Abuse (Macau) Association, Caritas Family Services, Macao Federation of Trade Unions, The General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macau, The Women's General Association of Macau and the Society for the Protection of Animals (Macau) - commonly known as ANIMA.
Larger-than-life characters from "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" will be invited to join their DreamWorks pals later this year at Shrekfast, meet and greet sessions at Paradise Gardens and the daily DreamWorks All-Star Parade - the newest to join popular characters at Sands® Cotai Central like Shrek; Alex the Lion and the Penguins from "Madagascar;" Po and Tigress from "Kung Fu Panda;" and Belt from "The Croods."
DreamWorks Animation's 28th feature film "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" features Mr. Peabody, the most accomplished dog in the world, and his mischievous boy Sherman, who use their time machine - the WABAC - to go on the most outrageous adventures known to man or dog. But when Sherman takes the WABAC out for a joyride to impress his friend Penny, they accidentally rip a hole in the universe, wreaking havoc on the most important events in world history. Before they forever alter the past, present and future, Mr. Peabody must come to their rescue, ultimately facing the most daunting challenge of any era: figuring out how to be a parent. Together, the time traveling trio will make their mark on history. "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" will be theatrically released on March 6, 2014 in Hong Kong and Macao.
Directed by Rob Minkoff, the all-star voice cast of "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" includes Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Ariel Winter, Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann, Allison Janney and Patrick Warburton.
Saturday's premiere is the second to come to the DreamWorks Experience at Cotai Strip Resorts, after "Turbo" premiered in July 2013. The interactive DreamWorks Experience at Cotai Strip Resorts includes Shrekfast, a DreamWorks-themed buffet breakfast available with hotel packages at Holiday Inn Macao Cotai Central and Sheraton Macao Hotel; a daily character parade through Sands® Cotai Central; meet and greet sessions; special holiday activities; birthday parties and more.

The Venetian Theatre, one of the most luxurious entertainment venues in greater China is a key player in Sands China's effort to bring the best international entertainment to Macao, having played host to movie premieres like Zhang Ziyi's "My Lucky Star" and Chow Yun-Fat's "From Vegas to Macau," and renowned movie awards and festivals including the China Music Awards and the Asia Pacific Film Festival.
