==Attraction History==
In the late 1970s, with most of the planning for World Showcase complete, Disney approached China about creating a travelogue video for the China pavilion. Although interested, the Chinese government was concerned about giving Westerners permission to film their country. In fact, China originally insisted that all of Disney’s filming be strictly supervised, and they refused to let Imagineers take aerial shots of Tibet or the Great Wall. Disney was uncomfortable with this agreement, and after showing Chinese officials the movie Fantasia, they were able to acquire more freedom.
