Rainbow Productions was delighted to be involved with a number of outdoor summer events last month.

June also saw Rainbow Productions handle the promotional appearances of Po from Kung Fu Panda at CineEurope 2015 in Spain before bring him back to attend a press event in London’s Chinatown on June 25.  These personal appearances by Po supported Dreamworks’ activities around the upcoming Kung Fu Panda 3 movie, scheduled for UK release in March 2016.
