Heartsong The Movie (1993) Dollywood

A mini movie shot on 65mm film for Dollywood Entertainment in 1993 by Jack Rouse Productions to be the centerpiece of a first of it's kind multi-sensory attraction at the theme park in Pigeon Forge. Written by Bob Harness and directed by Don Regensburger. Filmed in and around Sevier County and East Tennessee. The theater had surround sound and the tracks were mixed to enhance the stereo field. This version obviously has been mixed down to 2 tracks (stereo) for DVD distribution. The copyright for this is either held by Dollywood Entertainment or Jack Rouse & Associates. I claim no ownership of this content. More information is available on production at this web address: www.jackrouse.com/entertainmen...

This experience at Dollywood shaped my life...I will never forget heart song. this is fucking brilliant and will always be a Dollywood tradition...wish they still had a 'real-life' apple jack

[@jacobreynolds5886]

I’ll never see a thunderstorm the same again. Anytime it thunders and rains I’ll always think of He’s Alive

[@TheGoodC.ParksandMore]

This is seriously one of the best shows at Dollywood. The film is so colorful.

When this first opened it was amazing! The smell of apple pie and flowers, the autumn leaves fluttering down into the theater, the smell of pine. The bubbles floating around, the butterflies, "Applejack" playing the banjo along with the band on screen. The splash of water when the boy jumped into the creek and of course the thunderstorm where it actually rained in the theater.

I felt a few "raindrops" toward the end. I didn't know to look for extra stuff like that. I'll have to sniff around next time I go. Lol

[@McNabbot]

Unfortunately it doesn't look like they use the smells or bubbles/leaves anymore.

[@philollenberg]

Thanks for sharing all the stuff that was included in the show originally, RJ Holcomb. :) I saw this twice at Dollywood recently, and one of the two times Applejack came out and played with the on-screen band, the other time he did not. They do still have the wind and the rain effects at different times..

[@kristybarker924]

This movie/ film makes me cry becuase my grandma loved her bad looked just like her. She was the sweetest women I’ve ever met but unfortunately she’s gone but I can always come back to this and remember all the memerirs with her

[@Themeparknerd1993]

I never miss watching this while at Dolly Wood. To bad they don't use all the special effects like they used to.

MY MIND IS BLOWN

[@georgebrownmem]

Thank you for uploading. The park treats this in such a disappointing manner. Much of the time it’s replaced with something else and yet it’s the Heart of the park!

[@lz6594]

I visited Dollywood 3 months ago and was so impressed by this movie! No idea it was made 30 years ago. Dolly and the Smoky Mountain are just as beautiful as ever!

[@charlesjohnston3733]

Thank you for posting this up close version of a sweet and meaningful film...such great memories of fanciful days spent on park!

[@kristyhensley1572]
