News Beauty and the Beast sing-along coming to Epcot's France Pavilion

[No Name]

Why should we assume or pretend it’s not rated poorly?

You don’t have to because there are numbers that suggest so.

Even if we view them as rankings, and even if they are somewhat off, this attraction would still rank significantly higher than many other attractions. For example, it would take a huge error in len’s numbers for this to actually rank lower than The American Adventure, and the American Adventure is good or something. My point simply is, regardless of what any of us think about it, we shouldn’t assume or pretend the BatB sing-along is rated poorly.

This post confuses me.

Are you talking about the numbers of people visiting? Or numbers on guest scores?

Expectation comes in to play.... “The American Adventure” lives up to its name. It’s an attraction that only Disney could present, filled with AA’s and special effects. It’s also very inspiring.

Beauty and the Beast doesn’t even meet the expectations of guests who have been to other sing alongs / storytime attractions such as frozen and enchanted tales.

GOOD OR SOMETHING?

'The American Adventure' is one of the very LAST remnants of 'EPCOT Center', and one of the most amazing Audio-Animatronic presentations ever accomplished.

Brilliant storytelling, impressive figures, moving imagery, and lets not forget the incredible engineering marvel that is 'the War Wagon' and the control system that makes the magic happen.

It is a absolute MUST SEE, and i highly recommend a viewing IN PERSON ( ad not just 'YouTube it'...).

Stunning show.
Long may it continue to play.

Well it’s 7:30 on a Tuesday in February, and the crowd waiting to see Impressions is close to 50 people; I have hope. Looking forward to seeing the digital transfer.

Ill watch the other show eventually this week.

edit: show was 2/3rds full

With the BatB sing-along, we can now realize this theater's true potential! Impressions de Steaming!

Full disclosure:

I made this joke before they announced that in the second season of this show the kids are doing BatB for their Spring Musical.

The synergy never ends!

I passed by the theater about and hour ago and it had a decent group outside.

But.
Don't care.
IDF in 45 mins!

The digital sign has a ton of glare even when the sun is well behind the France Pavilion. Serious, who chose a product so completely unsuitable for its environment? Is that even an outdoor enclosure?

I never made it to this, had to choose between this and Awesome Planet. I thought it was ok, but I’m unlikely to do it on a regular basis.

Awesome planet is an e-ticket compared to this.

Ya, 10/10. Nearly full theater with about 8 people that left for the 730 showing. The color truly does pop off the screen.
Edit: Yes this was my actual notification:

And the amount of people in the lobby behind me:

Guess I’ll see the new show in March. Then it will join my ever-increasing list of one-and-dones: bird show with Up, ROL, Epcot Forever, BATB Sing along, etc.

bird show with Up

They did partially fix the show by reintroducing a Guano Joe style character as a wilderness explorer troop leader.

Still not as good, but at least I can sit through it now! Ha

I try not to be harsh when it comes to attractions but it felt like Disney didn't put any effort into this..

And as has been mentioned, the fact the France movie only plays from 7:30 to 9:00 PM is outrageous - had to come back another night because we couldn't fit it in that window with our dinner reservation and Broadway show. Isn't running it from opening to 5:00 PM enough for the kids? 90 minutes a day is truly an insult.

Or.... actually alternating it with the sing along!

Or watching the broadway concerts. I really wanted to see the updated IDF but the whole trip was planned around seeing the broadway concerts ASAP.

I don’t think the cars show at studios is much better, but at least it has an AA, multiple screens, and some in theatre lighting.
