I feel so sad that KZbin is the only way that we'll ever see this great preshow film.

[@jthomas289]

I am glad that it is still out there, at least.

[@Angie2343]

Agreed. The Nemo version sucks.

[@Jon420g]

I think we can all agree these were Disney’s golden years.. Being a kid growing up in the 80’s, this vid represents some of my fondest childhood memories.. Disney Magic was a very real thing back then.. How I miss it so!

[@olemanatwheel]

I can't tell you how many times I press the button that began that movie. Dressed in those orange and blue costumes.

[@edamnaf9265]

"The Deluge" is so iconic to me....That stood out in this preshow for me..

[@AllisonKilpatrick-qj5ck]

The EPCOT Center nerd in me sometimes plays this when it rains, in hopes of a deluge.

[@kirawedderburn]

This ride just came to my mind. Back in the old days when Epcot was a true educational park.

[@edamnaf9265]

As it should STILL be

[@Michelangelo0003]

I miss this old Walt Disney World that placed the bar a little higher for those willing to better themselves throughout their lives.

[@Palidor19]

I know, late reply Went to Epcot yesterday, annoyed to hell with the nemo ride, there was literally no fish in the tank. I miss living seas so much

[@nickdura]

Michael A I absolutely loathe the Imagination ride now. It used to be one of those things that sparked my imagination as a kid. Now its a fragment of its former self and feels like a bunch of high schoolers built it. So sad... Kids will never know who the Dreamfinder is.

[@W4RJ]

Wish I had a time machine so I could go back to Epcot Center......

[@TheGandolf1]

Back from a time where the Epcot rides were perfect the first time. It is so sad how all of those attractions from long ago have been removed or changed. Replaced with something less thoughtful or just bad. That voice...wow! it rained,..and it rained. and rained... epic. The Disney people really had the right stuff back then. Amazing story lines as this one was common place! Everything flows so seamlessly. I love it. Thank you for sharing this.

[@TheGandolf1]

***** I totally agree. God bless every person who has shared a video of the old rides!!! I miss them.

[@Thoralmir]

And yet most people considered Epcot the most boring Disney Park.

[@robinlillian9471]

@@Thoralmir Some people always consider knowledge and culture to be boring, but that's their loss.

[@pwnmasteh]

I miss 80s/90s EPCOT.

[@Flynn1982x]

"The seas had been born" - and then the music...always gives me chills.

[@Mr17051963]

Memories from the old Epcot Center! Good times!

[@donaldaustin1275]

My second attraction -

[@Kevinb1821]

This was back in the days when Disney treated their guests like they functioning adults. Now everything is dumbed down. Epcot was suppose to be the one park with no Disney mascots for rides. Now they almost all are.

[@debbabe2254]

Sigh. Miss this so much. Narrated by Hope Alexander-Willis.

[@veromikes]

i loved this movie as a kid in the eighties,thanks for sharing.

[@keymaster7798]

Me too =)

[@CaptainBZarre]

THE DELUGE

[@newsveteran4466]

What about it?

[@AgentExeider]

EPCOT was cool because it was supposed to be am "Amusement Park of Science" Like the coolest museum you could actually play on and in and it had rides. God I miss this version of EPCOT.

[@brandonhoffman3321]

They should have used audio from this in Epcot forever.

[@Exocartonic]

Thanks for posting the vid.Epcot isn't what it used to be. seems to be less about learning and knowledge and more about rides and getting drunk by drinking around the world showcase.

[@dennisflynn5045]

This is fantastic to be able to view and experience this show again. I've been to Epcot the whole time it has been open. My Father retired from WDW and my brother did as well, now my husband now works there. To see this video again with this woman's voice as the narrator is wonderful. I've laid in bed at night trying to remember some of the words as she said them. Thank you so much for takingthe time to post this video. :)

[@pwnmasteh]

3:10 is the sickest reveal.

[@kevinbarnard3502]

What gets me watching this is that while at The Living Seas, it seems like it was only moments long and over too soon. It did not seem like 8 minutes. Now, all the pre-ride/exhibit stuff is crap. It doesn't really engage the brain.

[@L8onL8on]

The deluge.

[@AlexShimp]

Thank you for posting this. Brought back soo many memories from going as a kid. This was my favorite Epcot pavilion before it became the abomination it is now

[@Palidor19]

I still get chills when she says “welcome to the living seas, welcome to sea base alpha”

[@Palidor19]

this is how the living seas should be, not that stupid Nemo abomination they have now.

[@newsveteran4466]

Amen

[@mikehitchcock3295]

I remember being a kid watching this and having my mind blown at: "...a world where we've spent less time than on the surface of the moon..."

[@kenergy909]

Disney Rob , where did you get the audio for this from - sounds crystal clear! - did u get the audio soundtrack from somewhere then just put it over what you shot on your cannon?

[@TheBliz22]

This movie deserves an Oscar

[@ryuken311]

try to imagine.....just for a moment...

[@newsveteran4466]

What?

[@albertowen1025]

This was always my highlight of going to EPCOT every chance I got; I just don't see how NEMO could be far more educational than this...United Technologies should have kept up the sponsorship of this attraction. NEMO I guess appeals to younger children, but I bet a lot of parents would love to see this back on for educational value, not cartoons!

[@Angie2343]

I agree. Nemo isn't a good choice; however, Ariel would be better if Hope Alexander Willis was ith her.

[@boomka]

“Shot on location” 😂

[@MclEckert]

My generation was raised on this film, Gen Z was raised on Finding Nemo….

[@mavericksquid]

Oh you mean a gigantic sky daddy didn't wave a magic wand & create the world?... well golly derp.

[@jzap8889]

mavericksquid I was just there today and thought, maybe all the science is gone from EPCOT because you couldn't say any of this today--facts having become controversial. (Tho hey they did manage to sneak in the polar bear falling off of that melting ice in Soarin').

[@samanthastec30]

lol I don't know why the show scared me as a kid. I guess all the loud noises

[@snizzlefrazzy]

I can't believe that this has been replaced with "the seas with Nemo & friends". I would expect something like that in Fantasyland, but EPCOT has been ruined in my opinion. Next thing you know they'll try to add Buzz Lightyear to Spaceship Earth ::cringe::

[@amyleigh3720]

Lauren Janell don't give them any ideas....

[@renstafari]

It rained

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

What a shame that we are hearing Living Seas BGM aquaculture (or whatever song was) in background. Makes you wonder why that's embedded into this film? 🤔 like someone's placed a mic to pick up audio from film but in background picked up some BGM too 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jasonmacrander]

and rained

[@newsveteran4466]

Thanks for typing this.. we didn't hear it in the video

[@zeldafan1942]

Can anyone possibly upload the preshow of this former attraction where the screens counted down to the time you would board the hydrulator? That would be awesome and epic!

[@Kevinb1821]

The strobe is killing me

[@ghostoftoast]

And it rained...

[@newsveteran4466]

when?

[@SixArmedSweater]

Resources. It’s always about resources. Ravaging and destroying irreplaceable wonders.

[@KissMyAftt]

And rained

[@jzapert]

@Palidor19 exactly. Everything at EPCOT has been just dumbed down to nothing.

[@jzapert]

9 years later and its even worse. But here's the thing. The world went to hell and there's not a damn thing left worth looking forward to. But that tequila bar in Mexico still slaps.

[@kaytwentyeight5926]

Russel Brower composed this music. Isn’t it great?!

[@Angie2343]

We need to write to WDW and request that they change it all back!

[@thomashill7161]

was Meg Foster the narrator?

[@mobbookiesdaughter9071]

In the beginning

[@gdelk69]

So dumb of them to change this.

[@thekeykeeper]

Such a shame there is background music running underneath this otherwise clean soundtrack

[@Angie2343]

Agreed. Nemo needs to be put in his place!

[@Pixk4]

I know this video is really old now, but..does anyone know who does the voice for the narration of this video..i've always wondered since i was a kid and first saw it.

[@nickdura]

Pixk4 I know this is late but I believe the narrator is Hope Alexander-Willis.

[@TheGandolf1]

+Pixk4 One of the most iconic voices of her time. I seem to have heard she past away some time ago. Not sure. I think Nicholas is Correct on the name. It rained..it rained,.. and it rained.....Love it! .....the seas were born. Disney had the right stuff on getting an attraction correct on the first try back then. Not the half thought out crap that replaced the good stuff.

[@nickdura]

+TheGandolf1 that is so true. I just don't know why they replaced some of those rides. I'm hoping carousel doesn't get the axe soon. I know imagination pavilion is still rotting away and there is actually a lot of the old imagination ride hidden behind walls. Now they are turning the top of the pavilion into a DVC lounge. Too many things getting replaced for shadows. I'm most sad I never got to ride Horizon. And they need to bring back the older narrators for Spaceship Earth. I personally like Jeremy Irons

[@angelaconnelly4637]

Meg Foster

[@annarussell975]

She's still around my friend. An extremely talented woman. And it is Hope Alexander.

[@fratercontenduntocculta8161]

so many people want to live on mars or the moon, while were are absolutely capable of building an underwater base just like this. Why not do that before trying to leave the planet?

[@robsnowden6262]

0:41-7:36

[@mavericksquid]

This really must've pissed off the born again christians who think the world is 5000 years old & that Jesus rode dinosaurs.

[@Angie2343]

It's already pretty cartoonish at the end.

[@jdowney429]
