Thank you! I have been wanting to see this EPCOT film again for many years. I saw an excerpt of it at the Walt Disney Story in Disney World in the 70's, and was disappointed at what they made of Epcot later.
It's funny, after Walt died it seemed nobody really had the vision to drive the original EPCOT plan forward, or they lacked the ability Walt had to sell the project to the difference sources of financing they needed, and perhaps were unable to sell the project to the rest of the Disney organization.
In the end Walt would have had to create a new organization that was prepared to build his vision of a new futuristic community. As it was, the existing Disney organizations were not able to do something so far beyond what they were currently doing.
When Epcot was built, the vision of the original EPCOT was swept away ... I felt like I was trying to convince people that this was not at all what Walt envisioned. But of course I was a young kid and nobody listened to me.
