Baz Luhrmann, director of 'Romeo + Juliet' and 'Moulin Rouge!', took time off the promotional tour of his new film 'Australia' for a snowy day at Disneyland Resort Paris yesterday.,

With no Disneyland down under, the famous Australian film director and his family chose the Paris resort for a day of Disney magic, joining Mickey Mouse for a special photo shoot beside Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant, with a thick layer of snow all around.

His latest picture stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in an epic romance set against the plight of North Australia in World World II. Despite mixed reviews, it has already opened at number one in the box office charts in France, Germany and Spain and number 3 in the UK, and setting a new opening weekend record in Australia.

Now, can anyone tell us the earlier connection between Luhrmann and Disneyland Resort Paris?
