==History==
+
O' Canada is an attraction located within the [[Canada]] pavilion in World Showcase.  
While the Canada pavilion eventually opened as one of World Showcase’s opening day pavilions, the pavilion that finally opened was drastically different from the one that had originally been designed. Disney had initially approached the Canadian government about sponsoring a Canada pavilion for World Showcase, however when the government refused (due to fears that stereotypes such as lumberjacks would be used) Disney decided to create the pavilion without a sponsor <ref> http://www.wdwfacts.com/2014/09/01/the-canadian-pavilion-at-world-showcase/ </ref>. This lack of sponsorship gave Imagineers the freedom to create the pavilion from an outsider’s perspective <ref name= "Martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?s=Canada </ref>.
+
==Attraction History==
 +
When working on a film for the [[Canada]] pavilion, Disney Imagineers decided that they wanted to use Circle Vision 360 to capture the various Canadian landscapes <ref name= "Jack"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2012/04/canada_pavilion_part_two_1.html </ref>. The Circle Vision 360 format was chosen, because the scope of the planned scenes (especially the Canadian wilderness) was so broad<ref name= "Jack"/>. It took director Bill Bosce and his filming crew of seven an aggregate of over two years to research, photograph and the film <ref name= "handbook"> Canada Pavilion New Hire Handbook.: Walt Disney Productions, 1982. Print. </ref>. When Bosce was given the assignment to create a film for the Canada pavilion, he decided to take the perspective of one who had never been to Canada before <ref name= "handbook"/>. In order to get an idea of what to film, Bosce contacted the Canadian Government's Ministry of Tourism, who refereed him to various provincial agencies<ref name= "handbook"/>. Shooting on O' Canada began in May of 1980, and continued on an off for the next two years<ref name= "handbook"/>. When discussing the filming schedule Bosche said:
 +
{{Quotation| "There were lots of bits and pieces. We had to schedule our shooting when events were happening and, of course, we were dependent upon weather"<ref> https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19830508&id=AQowAAAAIBAJ&sjid=iPsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4492,3624351&hl=en </ref>| William Bosche}}
 +
After filming was complete, Bosce had shot over 250,000 feet of film, which was then edited down to an 18 minute movie<ref name= "Jack"/>. Finally, the film opened as O’ Canada with the rest of the [[Canada]] pavilion on October 1, 1982.  
  
Original plans for the Canada pavilion called the pavilion to be divided into two halves, French Canada and English Canada <ref name= "Martin"/>. The barrier between the two would have been the pavilion's main street, where restaurants and shops would be located. When designing this version of Canada however, Imagineers faced a problem. Due to the similarities between the two cultures it became hard to differentiate the Canada pavilion from America. To solve this issue, Imagineers decided to base the pavilion on Canada’s wilderness, focusing specifically on the eastern seaboard.
+
Following O' Canada's opening in 1982, there were several rumors that the film would be updated. In 1987 the Canadian government wanted Disney to update O'Canada, and negotiations began that called for the country to pay $1 million dollars to create a new film. At this time, the Canadian government boasted about its active involvement in the pavilion. For unknown reasons however, the 1987 update never took place.  
[[Image:Canadapavilion.jpg|350px|thumb|Concept art for the Canada pavilion.]]
+
When construction began on the Canada pavilion, Imagineers wanted to use artificial trees to further immerse guests into the Canadian wilderness <ref name= "trees"> http://progresscityusa.com/2011/02/01/the-lost-forests-of-epcot-center/ </ref>. When the trees were installed however, it became clear that they would disrupt the forced perspective used by the rest of the pavilion’s structures. Eventually, Dick Nunis (the pavilion’s project manager) called for the trees to be removed, and the idea was scrapped <ref name= "trees"/>.  A treeless Canada pavilion opened with the rest of [[EPCOT Center]] on October 1, 1982.
+
  
Since opening day the Canada pavilion has seen a few changes. The first real change to come to the pavilion came in 1986 when La Boutique des Provinces opened on the second floor of the Hotel du Canada <ref name= "book"> The EPCOT explorer's encyclopedia: R. Pedersen - Epcyclopedia Press - 2011 </ref>. The next change to the pavilion came in 1997 when the table service restaurant [[Le Cellier]] had its menu updated <ref name= "intercot"> http://www.intercot.com/edc/wsfoodshop.html </ref>. At this time, the establishment was renamed Le Cellier Steakhouse <ref name= "intercot"/>. Subsequently, in 2005 La Boutique des Provinces, which was located above Le Cellier Steakhouse, closed to guests <ref name= "book"/>.
+
In the year 2000, the Canadian Tourism Commission began to lobby for an update of O’ Canada <ref> http://www.canada.com/story_print.html?id=e3f06cda-1565-417e-8ab0-38d00965e68d&sponsor </ref>. On August 20, 2007, the original O’ Canada closed <ref name= "martin"/>. Although Disney did not announce the reason for its closure, when the attraction reopened on September 1, it had in fact received an update <Ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/o-canada-2007/news/02sep2007-o-canada-reopens.htm </ref>. The new version of O' Canada features a combination of old and new footage, as well as a new narration by comedian Martin Short <ref name= "martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?tag=canada-pavilion </ref>. The attraction's popular theme song, "Canada - You're a Lifetime Journey" was rerecorded by Canadian sing Eva Avila, who won the singing completion Canadian Idol <ref name= "Jack"/>. The current version of O' Canada has been shortened to 14 minutes long <ref name= "Jack"/>.
  
Perhaps the most significant change to the Canada pavilion came in 2007, when the pavilion’s only attraction [[O' Canada]] closed for refurbishment. The closure came about after numerous Canadians began to complain that the film was dated <ref name= "book"/> During the renovations, the attraction's film was updated and given a new narration by comedian Martin Short. At this time, O' Canada’s theme song "Canada (You're a Lifetime Journey)" was also rerecorded by Eva Avila.  The updated version of O’ Canada opened to guests on August 31, 2007 <ref> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2012/04/canada_pavilion_part_two_1.html </ref>.
+
On November 19, 2018, Disney announced that a new film was being created for the [[Canada]] pavilion <ref> https://wdwmagic.com/attractions/o-canada-2007/news/19nov2018-new-movie-coming-to-o-canada.htm </ref>. Subsequently, Disney announced that [[O' Canada]] would be closing August 1, 2019. During its subsequent refurbishment, the attraction is expected to get a new film and projection system <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/o-canada-2007/news/28jun2019-epcots-o-canada-to-close-in-august-to-begin-upgrades.htm </ref>.

==Attraction Plot==
 +
[[Image:MartinSHort.jpg|400px|thumb|Martin Short now serves as the host of O'Canada]]
 +
The current version of O' Canada begins in a snowstorm, where the attraction's voice over narrator tells guests that in Canada it snows 24/7, every day of the year. As he is giving his monologue, Martin Short emerges from the snow storm, and yells "Stop the movie!" He then tells the narrator that the audience needs to hear about Canada from a real Canadian- himself. After a brief back and forth, the attraction’s original narrator leaves, claiming that he is, "Going to the [[France]] pavilion film, where they appreciate an invisible narrator!".
  
==Layout==
+
The next scene in the film takes guests to Niagara Falls, where Short explains that although many people think of the falls as an American attraction, half of the landmark (Horseshoe Falls) is actually located in Canada. Short then takes the audience to see some of Canada’s other landmarks. The tour begins in the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. Guests then view the countries west coast, before visiting Vancouver Island's gardens. Here, flowers and other plants are shown blooming. Following the garden scene, Short announces that nearby they can see Cathedral Grove, where some of the trees are 800 years old.
The first sight that guests see after entering the Canada pavilion is the Victoria Gardens. Inspired by the Butchart Gardens near British Columbia, the Victoria Gardens is a beautiful landscape of various floral arrangements. To the right of the gardens, guess can find Canadian maple trees.  
+
  
Moving on into the pavilion, guests enter a Northwest Indian Village. Here totem poles give one example of the kind of objects sculpted by the Northwest Coast native population. Nearby, guests can find the [[Trading Post]], a shop housed within a log cabin structure.  
+
At this point in the film, Short comments that Canadians have a love for the wilderness, and a montage of Canadian animals are shown. Following a scene involving a polar bear, Short has to admit that it does snow in Canada. However, he proceeds to put a positive spin on it by showing skiers and snowboarders performing tricks. Subsequently, curling is featured and Short confesses that he gets a little excited about the sport.  
  
Continuing forward, guests come upon the [[Northwest Mercantile]]. Originally created as a representation of Canada's early frontiersmen, it is in this area that guests begin to see both French and English influences.  
+
The next scene in the film shows kids (including a “young Marty Short”) playing hockey at the Rideau Canal.  Back in the present time, Short is shown in his hockey gear. As the ice below him breaks, he claims "looks like things are starting to warm up". A montage of warm weather sports including, white water rafting, horse racing, baseball, skateboarding and lacrosse is then featured.
  
Up ahead, guests cross over a stream and continue their journey along the Rue de St. Louis. On the right hand side, guests can visit the Hotel du Canada. This Victorian building was based on the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa. Representing the type of hotels that sprang up along Canada’s early railroads, the Hotel du Canada has a French Gothic Design. Located at the base of the Hotel du Canada, is [[Le Cellier]], Canada's table service restaurant.  
+
The scene then cuts to Nova Scotia, where Short informs the audience that sailing is the passion here. The province is also the home of the legendary Bluenose, which is featured on the back of the Canadian dime. After leaving Nova Scotia, guests see the small towns of Moosejaw and Medicine Hat, before Short tells guests that it's time to view the big cities. Cities shown at this time include:
  
Leaving behind the Rue de St. Louis, guests find themselves following a path along a steep mountainside. As the path continues along a river bank, guests come to an area made to represent the Salmon Islands. Here, a 30 ft. waterfall feeds a whitewater steam that encircles the island. As guests continue down the path, they come upon Maple Leaf Mine home to the Circle Vision 360 film [[O' Canada]].

* Victoria, British Columbia
 +
* Vancouver, where Canada’s film industry is based.

Attraction History

When working on a film for the Canada pavilion, Disney Imagineers decided that they wanted to use Circle Vision 360 to capture the various Canadian landscapes [1]. The Circle Vision 360 format was chosen, because the scope of the planned scenes (especially the Canadian wilderness) was so broad[1]. It took director Bill Bosce and his filming crew of seven an aggregate of over two years to research, photograph and the film [2]. When Bosce was given the assignment to create a film for the Canada pavilion, he decided to take the perspective of one who had never been to Canada before [2]. In order to get an idea of what to film, Bosce contacted the Canadian Government's Ministry of Tourism, who refereed him to various provincial agencies[2]. Shooting on O' Canada began in May of 1980, and continued on an off for the next two years[2]. When discussing the filming schedule Bosche said:

"There were lots of bits and pieces. We had to schedule our shooting when events were happening and, of course, we were dependent upon weather"[3]

William Bosche

After filming was complete, Bosce had shot over 250,000 feet of film, which was then edited down to an 18 minute movie[1]. Finally, the film opened as O’ Canada with the rest of the Canada pavilion on October 1, 1982.

Following O' Canada's opening in 1982, there were several rumors that the film would be updated. In 1987 the Canadian government wanted Disney to update O'Canada, and negotiations began that called for the country to pay $1 million dollars to create a new film. At this time, the Canadian government boasted about its active involvement in the pavilion. For unknown reasons however, the 1987 update never took place.

In the year 2000, the Canadian Tourism Commission began to lobby for an update of O’ Canada [4]. On August 20, 2007, the original O’ Canada closed [5]. Although Disney did not announce the reason for its closure, when the attraction reopened on September 1, it had in fact received an update [6]. The new version of O' Canada features a combination of old and new footage, as well as a new narration by comedian Martin Short [5]. The attraction's popular theme song, "Canada - You're a Lifetime Journey" was rerecorded by Canadian sing Eva Avila, who won the singing completion Canadian Idol [1]. The current version of O' Canada has been shortened to 14 minutes long [1].

On November 19, 2018, Disney announced that a new film was being created for the Canada pavilion [7]. Subsequently, Disney announced that O' Canada would be closing August 1, 2019. During its subsequent refurbishment, the attraction is expected to get a new film and projection system [8].
