(Macao, July 13, 2013) - Celebrities gathered at The Venetian® Macao Saturday afternoon for the regional premiere of DreamWorks Animation's latest 3-D feature film, "Turbo" - a high-velocity comedy about an ordinary garden snail who dares to dream big - and fast. The exclusive event at the Venetian Theatre marked the region's first-ever screening of the movie, where invited guests, media, members and families of the Automobile General Association Macao-China were given the opportunity to enjoy the entire film in a luxurious setting ahead of its July 18 official theatrical release in Hong Kong and Macao.

 

Guests in attendance at Saturday's premiere included experienced Macao auto racers Jeronimo Badaraco, Leong Ian Veng, Chou Keng Kuan, Wong Wan Long and Ip Un Hou - among them winners of the 2013 AAMC Macau Touring Car Series and previous years' Macau Grand Prix races; the legendary Harlem Globetrotters, in town for an exhibition game at the CotaiArena™ the same day; and celebrities FAMA ("Turbo" Cantonese dubbing talents), Jennifer Tse, Lelia Chow, Alice Chan, Ana R., Jacquelin Ch'ng, Ann Ho, Angie Ng, Ricky Fan, Charmaine Li and Lung Siu Kwan.

Hitting Hong Kong and Macao theatres in 3-D July 18, DreamWorks Animation's 27th feature film "Turbo" is a high-velocity 3-D comedy about an ordinary snail who dares to dream big - and fast. After a freak accident miraculously gives him the power of super-speed, Turbo kicks his dreaming into overdrive and embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the seemingly impossible: racing against famed driver Guy Gagne. With the help of Turbo's tricked-out streetwise snail crew, this ultimate underdog puts his heart and shell on the line to prove that no dream is too big, and no dreamer too small."
