Description And Comments

O Canada! showcases Canada's natural beauty and population diversity and demonstrates the immense pride Canadians have in their country. An updated film replaced the decades-old original in 2007. Starring Martin Short, it features new clips and dialogue interspersed with some of the original film's scenes. Visitors leave the theater through Victoria Gardens, which was inspired by the famed Butchart Gardens of British Columbia.

Readers are reacting positively to the new film. This comment from a Texas mom is typical:

The updated O Canada! movie is a great improvement. The narration was entertaining enough to keep our 8-year-old from being bored, and the scenery was amazing.

Speaking of Canada's immense pride, cast members often run a pre-show quiz on Canadian trivia outside the theater before the show. Helpful tips for Americans: Canada's capital is Ottawa, its $1 coin is nicknamed the Loonie after the bird engraved on it; the $2 coin is the Toonie, not, unfortunately, the Doubloonie.

Touring Tips

This large-capacity theater attraction (guests must stand), gets fairly heavy late-morning attendance as Canada is the first pavilion encountered as one travels counterclockwise around World Showcase Lagoon.
