Details on Canada Far & Wide
The new Canada Far and Wide movie features two incredible actors — Eugene Levy and Katherine O’Hara! They are such an awesome duo on Schitt’s Creek and we’re thrilled they’re a part of THIS project! Although they don’t appear on the Circle-Vision screen, they provide an awesome narration to the scenic film showcasing Canada’s splendor!

Sorry, folks. We’re sad to report Martin Short, the host of O’Canada doesn’t make a cameo in the new film. We were hoping they’d find a way to squeeze him back in, but his comedic stylings didn’t make the cut this time!

But we did love the new footage of Canada Far and Wide which displays Canada’s bustling metroplexes as well as its natural beauty including its gorgeous coastlines, tranquil lakes, and serene forests. Watching the movie on the 360° screens made us feel like we were magically transported there!

While we’re still a little bummed to see Martin Short go, we thought the old movie was in need of some updates and the new version is a welcome addition to Epcot’s World Showcase! The new scenes are stunning and now we totally feel like we need to book a trip to Canada! 😉 See the film for yourself when it opens this Friday!

As a Canadian I’ve always thought the pavillion was pretty cheesy. I blame Canada for not getting involved in the design from the start. Here’s hoping the new movie is a better and wider presentation of the country. When we’re there in February I’ll give it another look.
Does this one cause motion sickness like the last one?
Patricia, hard to say. We didn’t get motion sickness from the last film, and we didn’t get it from this one. Sorry we aren’t more helpful!
The new Canada Circle Vision is – sadly – dull and bland. It is far from entertaining as the previous Martin Short starring production
The best of the new is the concluding Mounties and scenic collage, while Celine Dion sings “O Canada”! (All ‘borrowed’ from the previous, more enjoyable, production… )
