Wasn’t the new film supposed to open on Jan 17 (not feb 17) along with the new China and Canada film? It was to coincide the opening day of the arts festival

This sounds total EPCOT to me. I'm in.

I think @wdwmagic has a typo to correct.

I like this. Feels like a good fit for the Palais du Cinèma's new addition. Do we know if this exhibit will be accesible without having to experience the sing-along?

If it's anything like the previous exhibit, it'll be right in the main lobby before you enter the theater. Not sure why they'd restrict access to it.

Fixed. thanks

I’ll be there one hour before Epcot opening to get my BG for this. I hope it’s a low one!

I'ts just that I saw the movie many, many years ago and didn't visit the previous exhibit. Thanks!

Ah, no problem!

Funnily enough, this and the two new movies are actually the main reasons for my trip next month. I've been wanting to see the art festival for years now but the movies sealed the deal.

I'd like to do RotR but I'm not that concerned rushing to it. I'm sort of a weirdo.

You and I both, my friend.

Thank you for the exhibit pictures!

"4K" sounds like an odd format for a film that is actually 5 films on 5 screens. I guess I'll see it when I see it.

As a fan of the production value of Disney live action, I cannot wait to see some of those costumes up close! A good fit for France. I wonder if the gargoyle is still there.

Besides the month being a typo, this sing-along was announced along with new films for China, Canada, and The Land (Awesome Planet). Some sources said they'd all be ready by the time of the Arts Festival (Jan 17), however, when they were officially announced, the new 360 China film (Wondrous China) didn't get a start date. That left Land, Canada, and France (singalong) to start together on Jan 17.

Since it was announced, the China film re-do is still in the works. Also, @marni1971 had indicated a new film for Impressions de France is also still in the works.

These are now the 3rd set of digital projectors the show has has and apparently it looks stunning.

Since there's some movie discussion happening here:
Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along will play each day from 11am to 7pm, with Impressions de France taking over in the evening from 7:30pm to 9:00pm.

Operating schedule for Impressions de France and Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along

Both shows will be shown daily at the France pavilion's Palais du Cinéma.

Total trash schedule.

Edit: I know how and why this happened, just doesn't make it any better.

Kind of bummed by the schedule too. I kind of assumed it would be an alternating kind of schedule, not one all day and one only at night. I get it, but don't like it.

Unfortunately IP wins over historical and cultural experiences these days.

I worked on that Garden Theatre production!

Looks like a great exhibit.

I'm not enamoured by Disney's new EPCOT theme of 'global culture culminating in Disney storytelling bringing us all together'. Which is the theme of WS, SSE, HarmUs.

But outside that context a neat looking exhibit.
