I came to this country in 1976, the year of the Bicentennial. Disneyland was celebrating that year and this was the first thing I saw there. It was as if America was saying welcome to this young immigrant of 10 years. I could not believe I was actually here. Happy Independence Day!
I know this is three years old but I love your comment. And I love how much immigrants tend to appreciate the USA, more than some of the people who were born here.
I went to WDW 2 years later in 1978 as a young 12 year old. Shows like this and the Presidents Hall (and the recent 1976 Bicentennial Celebrations) planted a seed in my spirit and soul to serve this country. In 1981 I enlisted and served until 2019... nearly 40 years because of Inspiration.
My parents came to this country using a Visa graciously granted to them after the Vietnam War and I am eternally grateful to be an American and am now serving in the US Navy as this country is worth defending with the deadliest weaponry known to man.
@@zeo53 Before blu-ray or RUclips 360 VR release, They should've remaster this digitally for special engagement at Epcot's Circle-Vision theater. Buddy Baker's America the Beautiful score sounds much better than Disneyland's Disney Celebrate America Fireworks show.
This whole presentation was restored back in the 1990s. (digitally restored!) My husband was Manager of Tomorrowland at the time and arranged to have it restored and showed in CircleVison for approx. a year at Tomorrowland, Disneyland. =)
I would love to go back in time and stand in Tomorrowland at Disneyland and have America be like it was back then. What happened? But, I still love you AMERICA!

I think that every time we are tempted to ridicule and demean or fellow citizens, we should watch this video. Left or right, we are ALL Americans, and we are all beautiful and special in our own right.
I didn't remember that or know that the Disney Channel had ever run this at one time. I still miss the Disney Channel of the good old days. Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
I remember for years I’d make sure to visit this screening to get out of the sun and it’s awesomeness. My grandmother worked at Disneyland Hotel and got tickets for rides back when they had them from people who checked out and left them behind and later I was employed as a ride operator at Jungle Cruise and even ate a couple times at Club 33, against all odds. But the last few years they’ve changed the chemistry enough it’s harder to enjoy. Cheers Bill. Btw I miss leaning since it’s a 360 film and the cameras twist enough at times to make you feel it
Without a doubt, an incredible video. I have such fond memories of seeing this as a child. . It is so sad how things have changed so terribly for this country. It’s now very hard to imagine what this country really stood for; however, this Disney film endures for all time. They changed the narration later in a feeble attempt to downplay its patriotism. This version is the best - truly unadulterated love for America.
The only time I saw this program was on the Disney Channel.Thank you for uploading this and yes i to miss the old time disney channel please bring it back
Thanks for uploading this! It brings back wonderful memories. I saw it countless times. And amazingly, 'America The Beautiful' and 'America Sings' -- two of my very favorite Disneyland attractions -- were free to see!
Originally shot in 1955 for 1958 fair and Disneyland in 11-projector Circarama 1960. This here is a 1967 reshot version of the 1955 film in Circle-Vision 360 but it was edited and shortened as a 1980 single screen educational film print and as you can tell, the narrator is different especially the lines compared to the 1958 version.
Very sad to see how much our glorious country has devolved from this by the hands of moronic fools. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could come back to this?
I remember when I was about five years old when my family went to see this, even when I was that young, I was so proud and in awe of America and I wanted to see these places because they look so beautiful. I was lucky that I learned about the U.S. and its history. Since then, I've been to several different states, and I still have a lot more to see. There's a few states I've been to a few times, it's all amazing and I'm so proud of America. It's a shame that a lot of people who are born and raised here hate America, even though most haven't even been outside their own state. They let social media tell them to hate America, and I blame all the politicians for that and the schools. They have ruined to be proud of our country. Besides what social media tells anyone under 25, go out there and see the amazing sceneries and the natural beauty surrounding America. I've been to many states and met a lot of people who are kind and caring people. Even my own state has so many beautiful places to see. No country is perfect but it's sad that there's Americans think other countries are perfect, if they are, then why do so many people from other countries leave or escape their own country to live in America? Because they know life will be much better and even safer for them and they want to live that American dream.
It's hard to convey how immersive the Circlevision attraction at Disneyland was. The film surrounded you and tricked your senses, such that you felt the floor moving in unison with the view on the screens (it wasn't of course). The high quality of the film also was stunning (nothing like this poor-quality video transfer). And this poor video is only showing one of the nine high-quality screens encircling the audience, showing a 360 degree synchronized movie (kind of like virtual reality today). It was like you were standing in the middle of the marching soldiers, or traveling down the roads of Lexington and Concord. You never sat down (there were no chairs), because you were constantly turning around to see what the other parts of the scene were. It was about the best you could experience except for a 70mm film in the cinema or until IMAX came along much later. A shame they shut it down, but I understand. There's just too little space at Disneyland to keep all the attractions open forever, and Circlevision got a bit dated. Admittedly, the movie is pure saccharin, but it's a product of its time. It remains a fond memory from my childhood through young adulthood.
I have to say... this original narration, which features the poems at the beginning and end, is MUCH more moving than the later narration (from later in the 1960's I believe) which was read by Dick Wesson. I'm not sure, but I think this announcer is Lawrence Dobkin. Anyone know?
I believe it's actor Steve Forrest. He narrated a number of Disney films. This version was shown in The Disney Channel years ago and resembles more of a history lesson than the travelogue it was in the television format and different narration.

Watching this in June of 2020. Heartbreaking, knowing what we have become and what we were.
Every American should watch this annually.
Amen to that. Couldn’t have said it better.

Disney really needs to restored all of their old 360 films plus the old 3D retired films on Blu Ray for collectors. Then I would be really happy.
Totally agree - I was just at Epcot and missed seeing this.
Great idea man! Yes! Lets hope Disney is listening

Worked as a "Bell Girl" at this exhibit and never got tired of watching this movie. A shame it's no longer there.
Who would ever thumbs down this!?!?! Especially with everything going in in our country today......
So many childhood memories going on this at Disneyland with my family.
I agree - I liked the video areas that have visited on vacations too
Strange and somewhat sad that this presentation has more US history than taught in my son's school today.
Teachers arnt allowed to teach this way...it's sad
I would love to go back in time and stand in Tomorrowland at Disneyland and have America be like it was back then. What happened? But, I still love you AMERICA!
I remember seeing this at Disney World and it making my 12 year old self cry. I was so proud of our country.
Finally, an upload without the screen continuously flashing, thank you for this part of my childhood ❤️

Disneyland still has Great moments with Mr. Lincoln and the flag lowering ceremony to display patriotism.

We the people of Bengaluru had the opportunity to watch landing on the moon 🌝 in huge 🤗 circarama tent. It was amazing 😻
Thanks for posting this! It's a same they haven't fully restored this film.
I completely agree. Thank you!
bring this back!!! I loved it at Expo 67 in Canada.
Really nice to see this again, even if you don't get the full effect. Always one of my favorite attractions.
Listenign to an audio onl mp3..stranage without the iconic 1967 narration! I remember this..

Disney+ needs to add all the defunct circle vision moveis

I love saccharin. And it's probably the reason it was created in the first place (:
Film from the american pavilion in the 1958 Brussels world exposition
The circlevision or Circarama of 1961-62 is missing. Instead of 13 screens covering 360 degree panorama, here it shows only the front screen.
Same choir and announcer from sleeping beauty
I have to say... this original narration, which features the poems at the beginning and end, is MUCH more moving than the later narration (from later in the 1960's I believe) which was read by Dick Wesson. I'm not sure, but I think this announcer is Lawrence Dobkin. Anyone know?

Why is this video at such poor quality? Only 480? Couldn't you upload it to 720 or higher??
The office of the president, I hate to say, has gone to crap starting 2021.
