![]() ![]() He continued, “It’s a sing-along, but with a twist”. Fitzgerald says of it, that it is “a fun show for families and kids or any fan of Beauty and the Beast“. We have seen the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along twice now. There is a lot of attention focused on the France pavilion this year, with this new film (“in rotation with” the original 1982 Epcot movie Impressions de France) and the family ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opening in summer with an authentic creperie at that same time. The most popular of the three films will probably be the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along. ![]() We have not seen Awesome Planet yet but will on Friday. There are some 4-D effects, but they are used “as a spice” and not like in Philharmagic. There is footage from ILM, and “stunning cinematography” along with a new score by Stephen Price, who composed Gravity. Fitzgerald calls it “our call-to-action film about our planet, and how important it is that we all pitch in to maintain this incredible planet”. Next, Awesome Planet replaces Circle of Life in The Land pavilion. The movie is a wonderful addition to World Showcase. And that is how I worded it as well after seeing it. Fitzgerald said that O’Hara and Levy are telling a “love letter of Canada”. Canada Far and Wide has a more timeless quality to it since the focus is on the country, not the celebrities. They never appear onscreen, and there is light humor from them throughout but don’t expect them to be reprising their current television roles – the narration is well done but subtle. What suprised me most about Canada Far and Wide is that Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy are narrators but not comedians in it. New footage was shot in Whistler, Quebec City and the Okanagan. He mentioned how it still includes the song Canada, and that the film is now digital. Fitzgerald says of Canada Far and Wide, that it has “a lot of DNA from the original”. The film, which is in Circle-Vision 360° (thanks to Disney Legend Don Iwerks, who also originally developed the technology for the France pavilion) is very much a throwback to the original movie prior to the Martin Short version. Before starting, I mentioned to Fitzgerald how impressed we were with Canada Far and Wide. ![]()
