Snow White and the Seven Samurai
Walt Disney is remaking their 1937 classic Snow White and Seven Dwarfs into a kung fu movie in an attempt to profit in the Chinese film industry.
The company’s president, Robert Iger, has declared himself fixated with China, which he visited four times last year. In an interview with Forbes, he noted that there are 290 million Chinese children under 14, more than the entire population of the US. This is not just a growth opportunity, he said, “it’s a needle mover”.
