- Enjoy in Multi Shot PANDAVISION - next best thing to being there!
A feat of entertainment, engineering and aesthetics, The American Adventure took Disney Imagineers 5 years to complete. The beautiful building in which it is housed was intended as a "people's mansion," taking design cues from the classic Georgian style of the late 1700s, Colonial Williamsburg, Independence Hall, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and the Old State House in Boston.
The façade of the American Adventure Pavilion is made of 110,000 bricks handmade from Georgia red clay, aged for an authentic look and feel. Its central rotunda is approximately 35 feet high, with its dome adding another 10 feet. The pavilion itself encompasses an expansive 108,555 square feet!
The American Adventure's theater can accommodate up to 1,024 Guests, and there's not a bad seat in the house. All of the pivotal moments in American history you'll see appear and disappear seamlessly through the use of a computer-controlled movable device under the stage dubbed the "war wagon." Ten different sets are stored there and are moved forward or backward on cue by this technological marvel. Just another example of good old-fashioned American ingenuity!

My favorite thing to visit at Disney World
The civil war scene made my heart sink. 😭❤
"Two Brothers" such a beautiful song.
Travis Bohrer Very
I just recently learned that Two Brothers was originally released in 1951 and that there is an additional verse not in this version. It's on CZcams if you want to check it out.
Yeah it is one time a friend and I we had too much at Grand cal hotel in downtown Disney in we started singing that song. Lol
They fought against each other and civil war was bad
"And don't forget me telephone!" Always cracks me up for some reason.
I went on a behind the scenes tour of this show, and it's incredible seeing how it works!
+The Disney Freak's Blog I would LOVE to see that
+BigFatPanda You won't believe it till you see it!
Was this filmed at California or Orlando? Thank you!
EPCOT is in Orlando (:
I don't think I've been jealous of anything in my life... until now! 😢 (I'm 46)
If I ever get the chance to go to Disney World for the first time, I would love to see this! This seems to be an amazing show :)
Its incredible how they made him walk up the stairs i heard it took about a month to program him to do that! Disney always takes the few extra steps and its amazing
25:45 The most iconic handshake in history
22:42 I always cry at the 9/11 part in this scene. How America always stood and never fell, with them raising the flag.
CRY BABY DETECTED
5:30 disney made AAs walk up stairs, that's nothing short of genius...
Anthony Studios at what point does he walk up stairs?
Justin Tai he’s already mostly up the stairs when they move the curtain. You can see the very end of his movement at 5:30
It's called a lift. He doesn't walk anywhere. He's mounted by one leg and the other one is animated.
Thank You to All the Men and Women Fighting for Our Country😎🇺🇸👍✌❤️💙💜🧡💖💗
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!

You guys did a great job on this. Disney itself is a dream made into reality. This show brings a tear to my eye every single time I see it.
Very touching and my favorite at Epcot. Saw this show this weekend. To see this live is absolutely spectacular and The animatronics are so fluid and real!
I love this show so much! 😍 It's this show that makes me proud to be an American. Knowing that our nation has accomplished so much and has been through so much and has remained strong through it all, it makes me feel proud every time 😊
Amen brother!
23:03 adding magic of Walt Disney! Nice!
THANK YOU FOR THIS! It brings back some great memories and really captures the beauty of this phenomenal show!
So one of my strange loves as an artist is Animatronics, their amazing and this show has the best ones. i simply love this show
It's not a strange love. Audio animatronics is an art form.
One of my favorite attractions. Thanks for the video. 🙏🏾
God Bless America😎👍✌❤️💙💜🧡💖💗🇺🇸
I love this show in Disney.Very patriotic.
Nothing is better than seeing this show for yourself. But even watching this video made me tear up.
vDeparture Thank you so much - making this video was a labor of love
This show brings a tear to my eye every single time I see it too.
Just got back from WDW, can't get enough of the American Adventure... Excellent production..
Well it's one year later and I'm going back too WDW. Need my fix of the America Adventure!!!! Cant' wait to hear " Golden Dream" nice and loud!!! ... and this is coming from someone who just saw Black Sabbath ....lol
they need to Bring this to Disneyland here in California
Yes yes yes
Yes sir, this ride is epic- Mark twain
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.
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
I remember first seeing this back in July 1983. It's much better than the Hall of Presidents.
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.
Thank you so so much Greg
Oh and i love the music
Absolutely beautiful! Happy Independence Day, John!
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.
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!
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.
Thank you Panda for uploading this! :D
Thank you for saying. I could sit through this show forever - I also love it and am always moved by it and in awe. I am so glad you like it - now, whenever you want the feeling again, just give it a play :)
Great job editing this piece! I think animatronics wise this is one of the best shows in Epcot!
I’ve watched this upload so many times over the last five years that I know a good chunk of it by heart. Earlier this month, I got to see it in person. It’s an almost a completely different experience.
What's wild is that I haven't see this show in over 10 years, but I STILL remember the music!
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 got to see backstage of this amazing show today! The way they change the scenes is amazing!
Haha! Mark Twain, sassy as always.
ilovettdarling LOL
My favorite at Epcot. Amazing animatronics and set changes. Ben Franklin walks up steps!
+ibrake4butterflies I agree
Wow! Thank YOU for this wonderfully photographed video. I am in good company then BigFatPanda!!! The scene with the fellows on the old country store porch gives me goosebumps! I think that this production has more set changes and audioanimatronics than any show anywhere. Maybe it's just the set changes. Either way it's...well last time I was there I saw The American Adventure three times in three days. It's been six years and we will be back in a few months. - TFS your awesome Disney bids...A DisneyWorld Old Timer. Lol.
+ibrake4butterflies My xHD is busted right now, but I have the picture that porch scene was created from- it's a real world image. Pretty cool! :)
this is between italy and japan pavilion?
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!
Loved the guys at the gas station
great video!!! saw it for the first time and I loved it. it's an awesome attraction to relax in and cool down.
what was so great about it?
adder birdo It's beautiful and it teaches you some things, also it's a nice place to go to just relax and watch
This show always make me tear up! Thanks for posting this. Now I can watch it whenever I want.
That was the purpose :) so glad you liked it - THANK YOU
Love this
Came here from Podcast: The Ride to see the handshake heard 'round the world - was NOT disappointed.
I like they don't sugar coated anything
Loving the John Steinbeck reference.
Great footage, Panda! I always enjoy watching your theme park and attraction coverage.
It has been a long since we have seen this show. I don't know why we haven't gone in there. Hopefully we get to go to WDW next year and then see it again. Doug Weave
I saw this today, it’s absolutely amazing. Worst thing was the line! But I just loved the show, and the music so much I had to come on to see if someone had uploaded it to you tube. Thanks.
Saw the show at Epcot today. Could do with updating as it shows Lance Armstrong amongst America's greats. Noticed this video cuts that bit out.
David Mackland I had to cut some parts out because of audio copyright FYI
+David Mackland Well, better him than Bruce "Woman of the Year" Jenner.
@5:59 Thomas Jefferson in one room for 17 days trying to write the final draft for the Declaration of Independence...sounds like me writing my novel during quarantine. LOL
Hopefully you got it done...without sparking a revolution, LOL
@@scotsmith2391 😂🤣 I wish I could say I did, but art shouldn't be rushed. 🙂
Oh my gosh John! That's by far one of my favorite attractions in whole WDW. Thank you so much for bringing this to us and that you had the opportunity to film it. Absolutely fantastic and I really cry every single time I watch it! Big Panda hug!
Awesome!
wow they even got a smoke coming from that cigar that's awesome
This video is perfect! Thank you for uploading it. I was thinking about the depression scene and wanted to just watch that… But I couldn’t resist watching the entire show! I loved your multiple angles and shots. Nice editing.
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?
Maybe a little forced, but this is an awesome show. It's my favorite.
what you mean far from the audience? too far?
WE GOT TO BE THE "FIRST FAMILY" ONCE... WE HAD TO STAND SO PEOPLE APPLAUDED... SPECIAL SEATS... IT WAS WILD!
AND WE'RE CANADIAN EH! GOD BLESS AMERICA... THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH!!!
God Bless America! I think they should have this attraction in California located in Liberty Square or something!
The music at the end is outstanding. It really puts you in an excellent mood. One thing though, Disney needs to change Liberty's flame at the end. The old flame on which that was based is long since retired.
Or maybe it's good for nostalgic reasons?
thankyou for filming this! going through major withdrawals (and not sure if my july trip with my nephew is still happening) so have been getting my fix here on youtube! As an adult this show(and the Voices of Liberty) are always a favorite because it is spectacular and also because its a great place to cool off and rest your feet after a long hot day at Epcot. The song about the brothers and the finale always brings a tear(or two)! Beautifully recorded!!
Thank you Liza
Golden Dreams is a good song. I love this ride makes me proud of where I live. And which nation I was born at. America.
Man, chopped the bejezus out of that ending.
+Robert Dambeck The song was Copyright - had to :(
Jefferson is the father from The Carousel of Progress. Look at him. It is!
they should have this at Disneyland too , American adventure next to critter country
PANDA YOURE THE BEST! I HOPE I GET TO MEET YOU AGAIN BROTHER!!!
Thank You
cool.
I really wish they would expand this show to include more of the 20th century.
Keith Dean 9/11 would be awesome (no offense) to include in this show
You're not even a _Radical Jihad_ to know that......!!!!
Keith Dean
Maybe that's why the _Romans_ never exist in America since the _Byzantine Empire_ (reigned Emperor Byzantium).
@@wakkowarner5765 Huh?
Did anyone else find the rope twirling (lasso), walking, and welding mask flip up and down impressive for A1's to have been able to do. I mean the A100's could do it easily, but the old A1's were rather primitive.
Elizabeth wentorf reminds me of Aliens where bishop says the old robots were always twitchy lol
One of my favorite attractions ever!! I go multiple times every time I'm in Epcot. So beautiful. God bless America. Thank you for sharing this amazing footage.
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
I love America Adventure😎👍✌❤️💙💜🧡💖💗
I really wish they would do a lot more about the cold war especially they missed korea and vietnam, and it would be amazing to see a sequence on the space race
Oh! I missed this vid! Cool!
Did you get back stage yet John?
This is an absolutely awesome, patriotic, and inspiring show. I catch it every time I visit Epcot.
23:30 why can't I find the original in all its glory? Why is it gone?
Does anyone know the name of the tune played from 6:46-7:10 and 8:08-8:48? Such great music.
Perfect! .... until the oaf at the end. :(
8:25 I would love to have that GLORIOUS painting but I wouldn't even know where to start on how to find info on it.
I believe most of the paintings used were made for the attraction by Disney or contracted artists. You could try contacting them about it, they like helping people and their customer service is unbeatable.
When was this video recorded?
Missed disneyland
Two bro songs is n great moments with mr Lincoln
Loved this video. What kind of camera are you using?
Chris Weaver It was the higher end Sony Handycam out about 2 years ago - around $1600 at the time. They have similar ones now around $1400 - highest end Sony Consumer Camera.
Another great video. Too bad you could not show all of the Golden Dreams segment.
I know, that song makes me tear up every time
Hi do you have the American adventure timeline if you do can you send it to me
Are cameras permitted during this show?
Happy 4th
i pray i will c this n person one day
Frederick Douglas is the best part
happy 4th
I never knew this existed
Is filming this attraction permitted?
SO... WHERE'S THE PART WITH ALL THE PRESIDENTS AND LINCOLN SPEAKS? THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING PART EH!
IT'S LOONIE TOONIE TIME EH! I think you are confusing this attraction at Epcot with The Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom
Wow now meet my ancestors was native American
Of you have it
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)
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.
They should add a sequence for 60's and 70's, particularly for the Civil Rights Movement.
1982
