Movies at EPCOT?

[KSR0330]

We've never seen any of the country's movies at EPCOT. We plan on seeing The American Adventure on our August trip. Are there any other movies that are worth seeing?

American Adventure is much much more than a movie! It has audio animatronics as well. It's a must do

Both China and Canada have 360 degree movies. France is a movie. They are all good to see (France not so much imo but still see once)

We enjoy France's movie, especially that there are seats.

Both China and Canada you have to stand, so it really depends on how we are feeling about that when we go by.

All the theater experiences are great! I'm surprised how many people have been to Epcot multiple times and haven't seen the movies.
Are they too busy shopping, eating and drinking?

Depends how hot it is outside.

Honestly I think they are so well hidden that unless you study that map you don't even realize they are there.

Canada - that poor country is a ghost town and the theater is clear at the back somewhat hidden.
China - large store, exhibit, character, restaurants and even when you enter the entry room for movie, not clear there is anything more to do but sit.
France - very well hidden tucked in a corner.

the films are dated and cheesy, but that adds to the charm of WS to me. the theatres are a great way to work breaks into your day (but be warned: no sitting in China and Canada). France and United States are favourites in my house (air conditioned, theatre seating--ideal afternoon nap spots)

I love all of the movies in the WS. I think China is my favorite.

I love that the movies in both America and France have seating, but I always find myself nodding off because of the combination of heat exhaustion, air conditioning, and seating.

I'd say do them all at least once. Some people love them, while others are just "meh" about them, but they are part of Epcot.

Like another poster pointed out, American Adventure is more than just a movie -- glad you're getting a chance to do it in August. I really like the other 3, but as others have mentioned, you have to stand for Canada and China, and my feet absolutely hate that part. I enjoy them all, though.

 

[CynBeth]

Even enough this is not a movie I would also say try the boat ride in Mexico. Definitely see the American Adventure as well as the movies in Canada, France, and China.

Sorry, but even if you mean that as a left-handed compliment, it is simply not true.

good call, I am a leftie!

I think we're gonna disagree on this though--the films are worth seeing, but they're also dated like Ellen's Energy Adventure is dated. I love me some Disney cheese (I'm still mourning the unjust removal of Captain EO from future world). But Martin Short and some winner of Canadian Idol are dated and cheesy representations of Canada, just like a lot of the clips in O Canada (Martin Short had his day in the 80s and 90s, and Canadians don't even watch Canadian Idol...)

I miss the cheesy "Beatles" that played in the pavilion!

Sorry but we haven't seen ANY of the movies in the countries... First off, EXACTLY where are they? It's hard enough to find the passport stamp for kids place! And second Im not standing! PERIOD!

All the movies are worth seeing in America ,France,China, and Canada, and did you know there is a new movie attraction in Future World that opened a couple months ago? It replaced Captain EO. Disney's Pixar Short Film Festival is very good entertainment in 4D and worth a bit of your Epcot time. Normally no Fast Pass+ needed. Don't miss it. And.... There are seats for everyone's tired feet.

There are two that are sit down theaters. France- back in the right corner near the French pastry shop, and America- inside the American building.

Personally, I can't stand the American adventure. I feel badly saying that, but I find it goes on way too long. France was ok and had seats. I haven't seen the others.

 

[KSR0330]

Thanks for all of the input! It's probably good to see them all at least once, so we'll catch a couple this time and a couple next time.

 

[ChloesDaddy]

Still have never seen the films in Canada and France. DD10 is from China, and we all enjoy American Adventure, so the other two get squeezed out. Hoping to see them this trip with a short walk to Epcot from YC.

DH and I didn't go to any of the movies this past trip but we usually see, at least, the American Adventure and France one. I really enjoy both. 360 degree movies make me a little ill so, if I go to them, I have to focus on one area or close my eyes during some of it (not to mention the downside of standing through it).

All of them are worth seeing once, for sure!
