Put New Zealand on the Map

Question: What country famous for its contributions to the movie business is being snubbed by what famous film studio?

See Put New Zealand on the Map for the answer.

Understandably, New Zealand was a pretty quiet place, but babysitting 50 million sheep gets too quiet, even for New Zealanders. Over the years many New Zealanders became motivated and did notable things: Like being the first to climb Mount Everest, (Sir Edmund Hillary), first to split the atom, (Lord Rutherford). And more currently, things like owning the America’s Cup, a prestigious sailing trophy that didn’t leave America for over 100 years. Other New Zealanders have worked hard developing a film business, at home and internationally, and earned numerous Academy Awards in the process.
