The Realists Take
Imagine trying to give a modern twist to beloved Aunt Mabel’s meatloaf recipe, without endearing yourself to ‘why did you change the perfect meal’ glares during the family dinner. Now times that by a gazillion, and you’ve got a rough estimate of the challenge Disney’s Imagineering team faced as they brought EPCOT into the 21st century. The new documentary, “EPCOT Becoming: Inside the Transformation,” is like a magical reality show that reveals how Disneyland’s less flashy, but deeply loved sibling, EPCOT, gets a fancy modern makeover, while still honouring its nostalgic roots. Old or new, EPCOT is still the family member that insists on a little educational value with our entertainment. And, I tell you this, if there ever was a season to binge-watch a theme park’s renovation with a tub of popcorn, this is it.
