Kung-Fu-Panda 3 came to Pflugerville early - January 16 the same day in Los Angeles where the cast of Kung Fu Panda 3 walked their red carpet at their premiere of the movie. On that day around the US and Canada movie theaters made their own red carpet for special guests to walk. Thanks to Cinemark Tinseltown in Pflugerville for hosting this event and asking Girl Scout troops around the area to be a part of the event complete with popcorn and drinks.

Troop 1587 participated as special guests walking the Red Carpet along with Salvation Army families.  For most of the girls it was their first time walking the red carpet.  “This is my 3rd time on the red carpet, it is so much fun,"  said Ava. Sometimes a little break and some fun in the day is exactly what a family needs.  As a leader we often know what rough times families are going through and can't always do something about it.  Today we could give one of our families a special afternoon after a rough week,” said Co-Troop Leader Kate Young. 

This movie was great for Girl Scouts all over the US," Michala said. “I think this is a good movie for Girl Scouts because it shows lots of courage and activity in it."  Those who came to the premiere enjoyed it, especially 4th grader, Ella who said “I would rate this a million stars, it’s awesome and funny!”

I hope everyone gets a chance to watch this movie, Kennedy said “it’s better than 1 and 2 combined!”.  Girls from Kindergarten through middle school said they want to see it again and tell their friends all about it.
