May 2, 1986 – The Circlevision Film Portraits of Canada Premieres at Expo ‘86
On May 2, 1986, the world fair Expo ’86 was held in Vancouver, Canada, and featured the circlevision film Portraits of Canada, done in a joint production by Disney and Telecom Canada. The film gives guests a 360 degree tour of Canada over nine screens, similar to the Disneyland film America the Beautiful. After the Expo was over, the film was briefly shown in the Canadian Pavilion of Walt Disney World’s Epcot park.
I’m happy I finally got in to see this one last year. As a Canadian who regularly visits EPCOT, I focused too much on the other pavilions, glad I stopped in.
