Meet our Sponsors #2: DreamWorks Animation!

This year we are proud to announce that we are working with DreamWorks to make UChi-con happen! We are proud to promote the new original series, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power! We will be handing out posters of four different characters at UChi-con so come with your friends and collect them all 🤩

Story Overview:
An orphan named Adora leaves behind her former life in the evil Horde when she discovers a magic sword that transforms her into the mythical warrior princess She-Ra. Along the way, she finds a new family in the Rebellion as she unites a group of magical princesses in the ultimate fight against evil.

Adora's destiny turns out to be far greater than she could have ever imagined. As the legendary warrior princess, She-Ra, it's up to her and a spirited group of rebel princesses to restore balance in Etheria by defending it from the place she once called home.
