That's exactly what I said but with less words.No one will go because that’s obviously not a 9 am priority. This will be an excuse to remove it altogether next year.
Pick the narrative and then make the data needed to support it.
There's nothing more to say other then this flat out sucks.This smells of forced obsolescence.
Just saw that Impressions de France is now only open from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. daily.
The very disappointing sing-along then starts at 10am to 8:45pm.
Do they still show that on 35mm or did they finally upgrade to digital?Meanwhile: Reflections of China is like..
I can’t believe I have to explain this.Zero reason changing movies in a theater is a “better business decision”…
Just more lazy and cynical from the house of Bob
The very puzzling thing about this is that the sing-along is one of the worst attractions currently on offer at Walt Disney World. For it to have this amount of time allocated to it in comparison to something that is actually relevant to the France pavilion makes no sense.
No cost difference…I can’t believe I have to explain this.
*If* one movie is more popular than the other, then it makes business sense to reduce and/or eventually eliminate the showing times of the one less well attended.
Whichever is more of a people eater is better for business, no matter any person’s nostalgia/childhood memories/nerdiness.
I smell “seasonal” or “shutdown” behind this…I can't imagine there being this much demand for the sing-along.
Maybe the plan is to stop showing movies altogether and make it another beer and wine location like Canada's theater is 1/2 the year?
From my observations, Impressions generally gets a larger crowd than BATB. I've seen a ton of people walk away disappointed when they approach and find out BATB is playing. If Disney claims to have data saying BATB is more popular, then i'm calling BS on whoever is responsible for counting. In this case, I legitimately don't understand what they're trying to accomplish by pushing an attraction that scarcely anyone watches, let alone likes. Unless there's some sort of extra expense (royalties, legal etc) involved with running Impressions that doesn't affect BATB...No cost difference…
…so I have to assume the beast theater is full to agree with your analysis.
Is it?
Nope still using the 35mm and waiting since the D23 2017 announcement for that new version of the film..Do they still show that on 35mm or did they finally upgrade to digital?

That's another interesting thing I noticed. Quite a few of the cast members working at the France pavilion have been uncharacteristically open and loud about their distaste for the BATB invasion. Heard it from a number of different cast members on different days, loud enough to be heard even quite a distance away among a pretty loud crowd.Went to Epcot on Sunday and wanted to see Impressions de France. I lived in Paris in 1978 and 1980 and loved it. When I asked the cast member what happened to the movie, she told me that it only was shown in the morning. She then added that she was very unhappy about it, and she wants people to complain about its replacement, the Beauty and the Beast sing along. If there is one thing I learned in France, it is that the French are very proud of their country, and they should be.
He's been De-throaned!!!No! This is awful! The beauty and the beast sing along is quite literally (in my opinion) the worst attraction currently at WDW.
