News New movie coming Epcot's Canada Pavilion

Oh, sure. NOW everyone is defending the Martin Short version.

I'd like to state that I was defending it before it even closed. Much more entertaining by ma boi Short.

I personally really liked the Martin Short version - as I did the original. I think I always knew it wouldn't have as long a shelf life, but it still felt very in the spirit of Epcot (well... Real Epcot). I would take time to see it and Reflections of China most every trip, enjoying them both quite a lot.

I’d say 12 years for a travelogue film in Epcot is a good run (as controversial as that opinion tends to be on these forums for some reason).

A change would have been welcome if they didn’t take out the fun and personality. Now it’s just about as bland as China’s film. I’m fine with one bland film. But I can’t stand (Or, lean) for TWO bland films.

Some of the footage goes all the way back to 1967!

Hey, updates are always welcome (if done correctly). I enjoyed the Lion King version of Symbiosis for its run as well. That's not much different than realizing that Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage's attraction system was 20,000 leagues.

Just got out of this. It was surprisingly packed.

As others have said, many guests exited just as the song began. I don't remember that happening in O Canada. Maybe it's editing. In O Canada, Martin Short said his goodbyes after the song, whereas in Far and Wide the hosts sign off beforehand.

I saw this just before the parks shut down and I agree. The hosts said their goodbye and everyone decided it was time to leave the theater. It's a real shame since the closing segment not only has a fantastic score, it's also one amazing Circlevision scene right after another. Disney needs to rework the presentation so that the closing remarks are after this part of the film and guests don't miss what is essentially a spectacular finale.

I agree it's very abrupt. They just go saying "We'd Love to have you!" I think if you listen closely you can hear them get their checks and drive off before the music starts... The 07 version on the other hand at least travels you back to Niagra going "Full Circle" Which is one of the other minor chuckles I get being it a Circlevision film and no one catches said joke..

Speaking of awkward endings...Awesome Planet....It just gets reaaalllly quiet after the #epcotawesomeplanet ad at the end of this film with no dramatic build up ending score or nothing...Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees this..

your not alone, I completely agree, and feel the Hall of Presidents is the same way. This is what Imagineering does now unfortunately. I wish they would get back to how they use to.
