They’ll also go through a hallway that will include a variety of posters that showcase popular DreamWorks films like the “Kung Fu Panda,” “How to Train Your Dragon,” “Shrek” and “Madagascar” franchises and get an up-close look at some of the awards DreamWorks has received for its films including several Academy Awards, American Music Awards, a Grammy, Kid’s Choice Awards, People’s Choice Awards and Golden Globes. After winding through the queue line, patrons will be led into a grand holding room after passing through and under a few subtle nods to DreamWorks Animation characters that are hidden in plain sight within the iron work leading up to the start of the attraction. The main entrance to the DreamWorks Theatre, with its high arch vestibules, sparkling fish pond and detailed Spanish tiles, leads guests by a box office ticket booth where a snoozy Pinocchio is slacking off on the job. The building is also ext door to the new, 6,000-square foot Animation Studio Store, which opened earlier this year and houses the theme park-exclusive Hello Kitty merchandise. The theater, located on the Upper Lot near the main entrance where the Shrek 4-D attraction once stood, has been completely overhauled and the newly constructed building matches the rest of the theme park’s updated main drag with inspired Mission revival architecture that’s reminiscent of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the Art Deco period of the 1920s and ’30s. The state-of-the-art DreamWorks Theatre attraction featuring “Kung Fu Panda: The Emperor’s Quest” will officially open to the public on Friday, June 15. Master Po, the lovable panda from the DreamWorks Animation’s “Kung Fu Panda” film franchise, has found a new home at Universal Studios Hollywood.
