Description: In the Maple Leaf Mine, the 360-degree Circle-Vision theater shows the film "O Canada". After 20 years, "O Canada" got a much needed update in 2007. Canadian native Martin Short is the host. His comedic talents combine with the vocals of Canada Idol winner Eva Avila giving this film a brand new feel. Some of the original circle-vision movie footage .is used. New footage was filmed at Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Niagara Falls. This is combined with current images provided by the Canada Tourism Commission.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): 360 degree screen
Cons: no seats

We'd been on our feet all day, so I was disappointed to discover that you have to stand during the film. I still enjoyed the film, though, and thought the 360-degree screen was a cool way to convey the vastness of Canada! (My Canadian fiance, however, was underwhelmed...)

Positive aspects of the product (pros): excellent movie of Canada
Cons: no place to sit down, not big on Martin Short

O Canada is a great look at everything Canada has to offer. the 11 screens giving a panoramic view is amazing.


Of all the famous Canadians I dont see why they chose Martin Short to narrate, but thats just me.


They have wooden rails to lean against, but no place to sit, which doesnt do much to help your aching feet.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Entertaining
Cons:

There really isn't any problem with Martin Short in my mind. He brings a light comic relief to the show and the show does provide a look at very cool parts of Canada that you wouldn't normally think about (or know about). Enjoy it!

Beautiful images of a vast country.


Standing while watching the show means this isn't a rest stop!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Martin Short
Cons: ...Martin Short?

The wacky Canadian Martin Short is back after being dropped from the Wonders of Life pavilion. "Uncle Jack" is someone you either love or hate, I feel - so I think your enjoyment of this will be depend on that.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Interesting
Cons: You have to stand for the whole show

The old movie was getting a bit dates so this was a needed referb. The photography is great and you get to see some wonderful views of Canada. Of the World Showcase movies this is the newest and the technology sure shows, especially if you remember the old movie.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Pretty 360 images
Cons: The standard 360 theater 'lean rails'

A much, much better attraction since the update a couple of years ago, though some of the older video they have spliced in still looks a bit dated. As with all 360 theaters, you have to stand (or lean) through the entire presentation. Can be a bit rough on the feet after a day of touring the park, so try to do this and the film in China relatively early.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): 360 circlevision technology
Cons: no seating

rehab was done well and this is exactly what the China pavilion needs. Unfortunately, like China most people won't hit this attraction until they have been at Epcot for a few hours and could use a break but are forced to stand.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): song -- Canada
Cons: not much

If you're not Canadian, or you're not interested in learning about Canada, this is not a must-see, however this Circlevision feature of Canada is entertaining enough.

I really liked the update to the O Canada movie. Martin Short is a good addition. Just wish there was somewhere to sit. I always get a little dizzy watching this movie.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Theming in the area
Cons: Stand up while watching movie

If you want to know more about Canada watching the movie is a great way to learn. I wouldn't recommend it for your first visit but if you have been a time or two this is a great place to cool off and watch some incredible video.
