Disney in North Korea?

Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, First Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army was singled out in the crowd attending a stage performance. The North Koreans are famous for their choreography but this was a stage performance with a twist, see the North Korean news clip below. Hang on is that Tigger, Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse on the stage, yes it is.

 




He has probably been waiting years to do this, hopefully he can keep himself busy with these stage performances instead of following his dads footsteps sabre rattling and launching missiles. Note this performance was not authorised by Disney. It does speak to Disney's worldwide appeal and brand power that can entertain even hard edged dictators like Kim.
