     Yang Mingjun, a six-year-old boy, did a voiceover for Mickey along with "Minnie" actress Tang Ye.

    Then, the real "Mickey" and "Minnie" actors stood together under flashing lights and performed the show's opening scene, as the onlookers applauded.

    They explain that it's the first time either they have acted out their Disney roles at the same time. They recorded the Chinese voiceovers separately in the studio to assure good sound quality.

    Last year's show was criticized for being dominated by Taiwan accents. So this time around Disney has specially invited 24 professional Chinese mainland artists to do the dubbing.

    The Chinese version of Disney's Jungle Adventure will be staged from August 2nd until August 7th at the Workers' Gymnasium in Beijing.
