I am sure the skylines in some of the major cities have changed and need updating, but the music is one I continue to request and love to listen to on SSR>

We have not been to see the film for quite a while. I will look forward to seeing the updated version. As many have stated, I hope that they will keep the song.

I honestly love the film even though it is very outdated. I guess I'm a sucker for anything that is old and is getting replaced. The fact that I love Canada as well makes it all the better.

The songs are great and bring chills to me whenever I hear them live in the theater.

So I arrive August 13th for the College Program, I hope I have time in the week to visit EPCOT at least once to see the movie a few times ( And no I'm not crazy). I just have a hard time letting things go

Na I think lean bars make it better in a 360 seating.

Just like Timekeeper used to say "You can't experience time travel on the floor"

Well yeah with seats, you wouldn't be sitting on the floor but I think experiecing a 360 film, you need to stand so you can turn around easier. When I watch the Canada film, I always turn around to get the whole experience. One time, I watched the whole thing facing the back side haha

It's about time for a change. We didn't even go see the film the last couple times since we've seen it so much before. The theme song is a classic, but even if it changes at least we can request it over and over again on Subsonic Radio!

But it is so much better being there, in the surround sound, with the film in front of you and the music blasting.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't want it to change even if Canada looks a lot better than it did in the 1980s when it was filmed. I'm gonna cry when I'm there on the last day that it is there.

If the Canada movie update is on par with the China movie update we have nothing to fear. An evolution rather than a revolution.

While I'm hesistant to embrace a movie upgrade for Canada, film technology has come so far since that was filmed that it should be a good enhancement. I enjoyed the old movie, but realize it was showing its age. If they keep the song, it should make the transition much easier. :D

From what I hear its rumored the martin short is in the movie or narrating it. maybe they are adding some comedy to it. I hope that it stays circle vision and I hope that they keep the Canada Theme song intact its a wonderful song.

Rumor is the film will be updated with Martin Short as the narrator and the redone version of the Lifetime Journey song, sung by Canadian Idol winner Eva Avila.
