Description: There is an "attraction" so to speak. The "Impressions de France" film is shown throughout the day in the Palais du Cinema. The best thing about this movie is that you actually get to sit. (A nice departure from the Circle Vision movies in China and Canada.)


"Impressions" is a travelogue of sorts, and features a soundtrack of French composers. (If it sounds familiar, think of the intro to Beauty and the Beast.) I wish I had more details to share, but I have to be honest, I nodded out during this 18 minute film. In other words, it's very relaxing and your kids will most likely be bored.

This is my favorite of the films in World Showcase. As a classical flute player, I think the soundtrack is amazing. The film footage is beautiful, and best of all, the theater has seats!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Relaxing
Cons: Very outdated film

This is the same film from many years ago. A major rehab on this really needs to be done. It's really old and outdated.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Nice break

Save this for when everyone is getting hot and tired, and the feet need a break! Chances are you'll get a refreshing little nap!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): sitting
Cons: old and out dated

I am sorry but we need to call France and ask them for help,Why because this is very old and out dated and not worth seeing. This is one to miss unless you need some ZZZ's You will fall to sleep but you will not miss anything and then you will move on.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Beautiful building, Nice place to take a nap!
Cons: Terribly outdated film, Very slowly paced, Dull...In need of an update!

I visited Impressions during a November trip to Epcot. It has been years since I've seen the film -I remembered being quite bored with the film before....Well, it continues to be one of the most uninteresting films in WS. What makes it worse now is that the film has deteriorated...it is indesperate need of an enhancement! : Posted via eTicket

Positive aspects of the product (pros): beautiful photography
Cons:

This is my absolute favorite film in World Showcase. It contains beautiful photography from all areas of France as well as wonderful music written by french composers. I love to just let myself be carried away in this film. Having been to France many years ago, it brings back some wonderful memories for me. Even those who have never been there will enjoy the sites of the country.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great views of France
Cons: Can be boring for some

I love the movie and the music in it. I make a point of watching this film every trip, maybe because I love Europe and France is on the top of my list. The only thing I would add is either a narrative over the audio or a small caption explaining what you are seeing.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): beautiful scenery and music
Cons: children may find it boring

The only movie in World Showcase with seating. Nice place to relax and cool off. My wife enjoys this more than anything else in World Showcase, both for the scenery and the classical music.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Pretty pictures, relaxing
Cons: Almost too relaxing

A very pretty film with soothing music... too soothing for me as I've yet to stay awake through the whole show. The combination of the relaxing soundtrack, no dialog and the dark, cool theater with the comfy seats is just too much.
Worth a shot if you have the time or the desire for a quick nap.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): nice relaxing movie about French culture
Cons: Starting to feel a bit old, May not appeal to young children.

as previous reviewers have stated, it's a nice show to see if you have a couple of days at the park. If you have only one day you should probably do other things first.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): great pictures
Cons: needs to be redone

This is a nice place to relax. The views are amazing but it seems to turn into a show about the views instead of much detail about France. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it but I wouldn't avoid it either.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): good place to rest your feet out of the heat
Cons: boring for kids

This is another good place to sit out of the heat. Most kids find this attraction boring.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great visuals, great escape from the heat, allows for further exploration of the pavillion
Cons: Slightly in need of a refurb, May not appeal to young children.

Sitting down to watch a movie may not be what most people want to do on vacation. However, this film does a good job of setting the mood of the pavilion. The details from the exterior of the pavilion are carried inside as well. Not a must-do if it is your first trip, but if you take a day to do stroll through the World Showcase make a point to stop by. This film will probably lose the attention of most children. The indoor theater does, however, provide a great area to take a break from your long trek around the lagoon.
