Impressions de France is an attraction located within the [[France]] pavilion in World Showcase.
==Attraction History==
Although Disney had always planned on creating a travelogue movie for the France pavilionthat gave guests an overview of the country, Impressions de France went through many changes before making its debut. Original models for the France pavilion show the Palais du Cinema (which houses the film) as being round. This has led to speculation that like [[O' Canada]] and [[Wonders of China]], early concepts for the France film may have called for a Circle Vision 360 format <ref> http://progresscityusa.com/2010/04/15/elseworlds-epcot-centers-french-circlevision/ </ref>.
Instead of being a Circle Vision 360 film, Impressions de France opened on October 1, 1982 with a 200 degree screen. The width of the screen allows guests to sit down while watching the film, while the screen still covers their peripheral vision. Initially Disney film crews shot 140 different locations for the film, before this number was cut down to 46 for the film's final version <Ref> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2011/09/france_pavilion_part_two.html </ref>. After filming was complete, Buddy Baker recorded the soundtrack with the National Philharmonic Orchestra at the Abbey Road Studio in London <ref> http://progresscityusa.com/2012/02/07/82if/ </ref>. The only significant change to Impressions de France came in 2011 when the film was remastered and the theater was given digital projectors.
