Thanks for sharing this! I worked at WDW for 11 years, from 95-06. My last 7 were as an Artist Prep at Epcot, and I know this attraction very well, as I worked on all most all of those figures! Even today, some of those effects they achieved such as Twain's smoking cigar, Will Rogers twirling lasso, Franklin walking up the steps still are pretty amazing. You should see the attraction from back stage-it's quite an engineering marvel!

Wow! Finally a HD-quality, beautifully edited video of this remarkable show. I have seen this so many times live, but it was like watching it for the first time seeing it close up. What an amazing engineering job Disney accomplished while developing this show, along with superb animatronic programming. The last scene with Ben and Mark in the Statue of Liberty torch is Disney's finest, most realistic animatronic programming ever done, hands down. Thank you, thank you, thank you for documenting this show in such richly deserved quality.

It's not a strange love. Audio animatronics is an art form.

The very beginning of the show always gives me goosebumps. Not sure if it's the harpsichord, or the Steinbeck reference, but it's just awesome.

I love the inside of the American Pavilion! It is beautiful and not only has hidden Mickey's but also that beautiful rotunda where you can hear the Voices of Liberty.

Watched this as part of my American national government course in college today. We had a briefing and a discussion after each segment explaining the history behind it and the other dark side of the story, if existed, that common Americans are unfamiliar with. It is indeed a rich history, not necessarily a source of pride though as I see it. But very well created show, very rich and informative.

Absolutely beautiful! Happy Independence Day, John!

One of my favorites. I told my husband it would be closed for refurbishment during our upcoming trip and he doesn't even remember it! He has only been once and I've been around 10-12 times, so I'll give him a little slack, but not much!

As a kid, I had no clue on fully understanding the history it was telling me. But I would always still be extremely glued to that show. XD

Great job editing this piece! I think animatronics wise this is one of the best shows in Epcot!

Much more IMPRESSIVE than the current version of the presentation. But then again, Disney has seemed to forget how to make the "magic" any longer.

I seriously adore your videos! I am fortunate enough to get to go to Disney World 3-4 times a year (I live in Nashville, TN), but you're SUPER lucky to get to go there almost every day! :D The American Adventure is, by far, my favorite show at Disney, HANDS DOWN.

Absolutely AWESOME video. For years i have waited for a quality video of this amazing presentation and THIS is it. Thank you for focusing so much on the the AAs..and not only showing their settings but also their faces close up. So many other videos bounce around to try to capture everything and as a huge AA fan i like to focus closely on the figures. Some beautiful quality image capturing here. Agree with others, this is by far the finest video representation this amazing EPCOT show to date. Well done my black n' white friend!

Thank you for posting this! I'm creating a mock-up of this show for the history classes I plan on teaching after college. It will feature projections and "good ol' fashioned American technology". Thanks for helping me get better views of the animatronics so I can re-create them better!

Yeah, A wonderful show about Americans and a free nation. They should have pointed out that in order to attend the show Americans must first be subjected to warrantless searches and then routed, like cattle through metal detectors. Thanks a lot Disney. The park is now like occupied France of 1940. Truly amazing

This is an absolutely awesome, patriotic, and inspiring show. I catch it every time I visit Epcot.

Loving the John Steinbeck reference.

On of my favorite Disney attractions ever! Very moving. It's so nice to see the figures up close. Like Hall of Presidents, they're so far from the audience. I love Ben's line at the end - "Mr Twain, I may have invented these bifocals I'm wearing, but..." Awkward - did we really need that little fact thrown in?

Actually, if you study history, you will find that things today are really not that much different than they were then. As Ben Franklin says at the end of this show, "we were not dreamers, we were visionaries. That is why our Constitution endures." The technologies may have changed, our nation may have become larger and more populated. But the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will always be there.

For the life of me I can't seem to find anything on the internet about 'the two brothers'. I'm sure Americans (we British didn't really study your civil war) can tell me who they are (or if they were just made up by Disney to illustrate a point)

@keithdean9149

7 жыл бұрын

The "two brothers" are no one in particular. It goes back to the idea that the American Civil War was a time when it was brother against brother. Americans had become so divided in their views about the issues leading up to the Civil War that it was not uncommon for a family with two sons to have one fighting for the Union and the other fighting for the Confederacy. And in some cases, it was believed that having one son on each side increased the chances of at least one surviving. The scene is meant to illustrate that and the tragedy of it.

I hate how people always make the civil war about slavery, yes it was a huge aspect of it, but the main conflict was the south seceding from the union, I mean even Lincoln said "If I could save the union without freeing any slave, I would do it" even Lincoln was not focused on it, the whole point of the civil war was to repair the union not to free the slaves
