Hong Kong (CNN) Vietnam's largest cinema chain has pulled a new Dreamworks animated movie from theaters because it features a map asserting Chinese ownership over the South China Sea. The movie is a joint collaboration between Dreamworks Animation and Shanghai-based Pearl Studios in China , and is voiced predominantly by actors of Asian ancestry. In a scene close to the start of the movie, the main character, Yi, goes to her rooftop hideout in which she has spread out a map of China. Clearly visible on the map is a U-shaped dotted line stretching from China's southern coast and encircling almost all of the South China Sea. The nine-dash line, which denotes China's unilateral claim to the potentially mineral-rich area, is official Chinese government policy and features on all maps sold inside China.
