Po, the star of Kung-Fu Panda opens DreamWorks Lights

The animated star of Kung-Fu Panda has officially opened Liverpool’s seasonal spectacular DreamWorks Lights.

Po the Panda was on hand to cut the ribbon and welcome people to the city’s flagship Christmas event at St George’s Hall.

Hundreds of ticket holders were waiting outside the hall to be amongst the first to experience the unforgettable lantern show, which includes the huge ruby coloured dragon from Shrek, 40ft long and suspended from the ceiling of the Great Hall.

The event’s centrepiece is 100 Chinese lantern versions of characters from the DreamWorks movies Shrek, Kung-Fu Panda and Madagascar and thousands are expected to visit over the next two months.

DreamWorks Lights is a first for the UK and part of One Magical City, a programme of festive activity which takes place right across Liverpool.
