Has anyone actually seen Circle of Life at EPCOT

[ErinInCT]

If we have a little time to kill I am wondering if it is worthwhile. We'll be seeing The Land so I'm not sure the kids will allow 2 educational activities!!

 

[HopperFan]

I would just look at it on YouTube and then you can decide if it's for you.

 

[CAS239]

Yes.

It was a one and done. However if they like The Lion King characters and you want a spot to relax for about 10 min then it's not bad

I took my nephews once while their parents rode Soarin. We walked out. Didn't hold anyone's interest. But I agree with PP to check it out on YouTube.

It's a once and done movie for us, but if you're there, why not? If you choose to watch it on YouTube beforehand, I wouldn't bother watching again while you are there.

 

[Missyrose]

Ride Living With the Land instead.

 

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

Yes I've seen it.
I don't recommend it.
It was a once is plenty type of thing that was done very poorly.

I love the movie. We had guests with small children ( 3 & 4) and they loved it.

I feel like you should try everything once! It's definitely kid friendly and though not my favorite, it has a nice environmentally friendly message and if you need a place to just hang out and sit why not give it a try

 

[WEDWDW]

Yes,I saw one of the birds eating one of the little lizards in Epcot one time.

 

[Dznypal]

gee except for one other poster that liked it Im in the minority here--we see it every time we go

its cute and at times can be funny

and this is just my DH and me ----no kids we like it

 

[Whizzer Wilkins]

It's a great chance to have a sit down and rest your legs in an air-conditioned theater!

Our family must be the "ones" who like this event. It's a nice mix of education and entertainment...live action with animation. I'm not so opposed to events that are strictly educational, especially because of the presentation of those topics that Disney does, but...what would be so horrible about kids actually being given a topic like respect for the Earth and its inhabitants? It's a win/ win for us.

Agree with this. And with today's environment, it's a good thing for kids of all ages to realize what is going on (or not going on) with trying to protect it. I highly doubt the kids will realize it's an "educational" thing unless they are told it is.

We like this movie. Give it a chance. You may too.

 

[Disney Khi]

My problem with it is that it is too loud. At least the times we've done it it was too loud. The movie itself is fine, but we had to actually cover our ears through it. I went when I was pregnant with DD, and she actually started sort of jumping around during the loud parts of the movie. (I realize that sounds ridiculous, but it's true. And at the time I was convinced I was somehow ruining my baby. LOL)

 

[BalooFan]

I have seen it a few times, but it isn't a must-see in my opinion. i appreciate the educational aspect and the environmental message, but it needs to be updated. I also agree with the previous poster who said it is too loud.

 

[Happyinwonerland]

We thought it was awful. such a waste of time.

My sons & I usually once per trip. It definitely is worth seeing and having people get a sense of how mankind can make a negative as well as a positive impact on the Earth. While not the most exciting attractions, this, as well as Living With The Land, are what the Land pavillion should be about.
