I know the One Man's Dream film is impressive, but the best is easily the French film. It has a timeless quality with the classical music and sweeping aerial footage that makes it still work today.
Gotta go with "The Man" himself in this vote. "One Man's Dream" is a special attraction that deserves to be today's winner. Besides, all those other films are snooze-fests.
Hmmmm... How did Epcot's Norway Travelogue not make it in this round? ;)
I abstain.
A clip job over one of the best combinations of outstanding visuals and beautifully composed classical music ever crafted? Walt wouldn't vote for himself in this category.
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz...
I have to agree that the music and visuals in France set it apart from the others. I try to go every time I am there.
'Impressions de France' in the France Showcase is an exceptional film. But I am biased as I had the chance to work on the 'One Man's Dream' exhibit space.
Mr. Disney's story gets my vote.
I have to go with the Disney attraction. I found China's film not very interesting, especially as you can't sit down. Impressions is good(especially music), but dated. TH, what other Disney attractions have you worked on?
He built that gigantic hat we all love so much... ;p
The only one of these I've seen is O Cananda so I decided to refrain from voting..... but I will say that the O Canada file was maybe the most dissappointing, boring, and cheesy thing I have seen at a Disney Park. Martin whatever his name is hosting it kind of got on my nerves with his version of hosting corny comedy.
I doubt I'd ever go back and watch that film again if at Epcot.....even if I had plenty of free time..... and that is one of the only things I have ever done at a Disney Park that I left having no intentions of ever sitting through again.
On a nice side note though..... The Le Cellar Steakhouse in the Canada area served us a great meal. The Filet Mignon was GREAT!
DO NOT ... MOCK ... THE HAT! >:O(
