1. Hey everyone, thanks for giving this a shot. I’ll be back with some classic narration style videos soon.

2. Holy shit, I'm floored! This was a work of art and an absolute dream! I was glued to the screen the whole way! Well done!!!!! To think this is free to watch on YT!

3. Wow – the best documentary created for youtube I have ever seen. A perfect tribute to Epcot. I am blown away!

4. Finally got around to watching this episode. Holy cow this production is amazing Kev! I would love to see this kind of style with your usual narration and script. If you were to pitch a documentary show to a network I genuinely think you have a great shot

5. I'm a huge fan of Epcot. I'm going to show my age and say I was 15 the first time I attended in 1982. I was instantly smitten and as a now Florida Resident Passholder, Im still discovering places in Epcot I never knew were there. As a teenager, I saw things there I never thought possible in my lifetime. Yet, here I am, watching a mini-computer in my hand while communicating with you. Epcot made the future seem so optimistic while looking at the past with deep nostalgia. You have managed to put all of that into one video. Bravo!!!!

6. I miss his voice.

7. i think this is the best video ive watched on youtube

8. This video probably could have been just as effective with a 30 minute runtime. Lots of fluff. "I would have written a shorter letter, but did not have the time."

9. This was beautifully done but it was really missing your voice in more ways than one. You put so much personality into your videos, so this almost felt like another’s channels work. I understand that alot of hard work went into this, but I do look forward to a return to your old style.

10. Impressive beyond words!

11. Honestly, Walt would be so proud of you! You took the spirit of Epcot and you used it to really make an experience unlike any other. Fantastic job! Also as someone who loves mapping and GIS, your maps filling in with fhe development of Epcot was absolutelg amazing and the best use of historical imagery I have EVER seen in my life!

12. WHAT WAS THE FUCKING BUDGET

13. This is probably super well made n such but it aint my cup of tea sorry

14. the music was good :>

15. This is no documentary. This is a work of art.

16. another common defunct land classic that I'll come back to for years after. Unbelievable work here.

17. I do prefer the OG narration due to the fact that I have ADHD and Dyslexia, so this kind of video is harder for me to understand and focus on. However, still really enjoyed this. Such a cool concept! You and your team should be so proud. This was the perfect video to experiment with!

18. MAAAAAN…. I hate not being an old fogie… all I know is the current World Showcase and nothing much up front… the early concept looked very interesting and something that Disney should re-envision for current EPCOT

19. This video was absolutely amazing! Every new video is always so entertaining and fascinating to watch, keep up the great work!!

20. This is so well done, great job!

21. I wish I had the words to do justice to the work you've done here.
    Magnificent.
    Truly expands the horizons of documentary filmmaking.
    I cried.
    Shockingly, painfully, repeatedly brilliant.
    A masterpiece.
    Well worth the three and a half hours you're going to spend watching, rewatching and rewatching it again.

22. LOVE THIS!!! The courting of nations and eventually companies to represent the nations was brilliant!

23. If Kevin sent these hype videos to these corporations and countries Walt's dream would have been complete.

24. i dont even know what to say or where to begin. just incredible. will be watching many times

25. This was beautiful! Thankyou!

26. For the love of all that us Disney – you must enter this into a film festival. As someone who is neurodivergent, the sensory experience is unreal. In the best way I normally put your videos on in the background because I know a bit about Disney too and your voice is so soothing but this I couldn’t look away from for a moment. Half way through I had to stop watching on just my phone and put it on the big screen and turn the lights off and I already know I’m going to be watching again. Please enter this in festivals!! ❤

27. That was so powerful
    Academy award

28. This was a wonderful heartfelt project. I love the ambition behind it and admire the eagerness to try something new.

29. This is seriously something special. One of the best pieces of visual media I've ever seen. This is the kind of thing that film as a medium is meant for. Absolutely incredible.

30. I've been watching you folks for years now, and your hard work documenting the history of Disney has been second-to-none. However, this is, without a single doubt, the most ambitious project you folks have ever put together, at least in my eyes. It is easily one of your best–if not the best–of the videos on your channel. Seriously, this is cinema-worthy, and also worthy of a Blu-Ray / DVD release. You really should consider either of those options, if at all possible, as I believe this would impress an audience way beyond YouTube.

31. It is cool to watch this over and over and catch something new each time.

32. amazing video. watched w/my girlfriend and we both loved it, you've outdone yourself mr. lying under oath

33. The production value of this video is off the charts! Great work as always, Kevin and team!

34. I'm always one who looks forward to your artistic pieces. It is blasphemy that your documentaries have not been utilized for distribution for theaters (or you can consider making an independent company for yourself.) I hope you're doing well, Kevin!

35. NETFLIX ARE YOU SEEING THIS!?!?!?
    But seriously, this was amazing. Its awesome seeing the style of videos evolve and seeing yout experiment with new ideas is incredible. Keep up the good work, but not too hard (don't want another Animators Retreat incident)

36. Bro how do you out do yourself every time? ❤

37. This piece is as captivating as Epcot itself.😮

38. 😮

39. Society: You can't make an hourlong symphonic storytelling of EPCOT
    Kevin and the Defunctland Team: Hold my Fantasia VHS
    A+

40. Absolutely spectacular, Kevin. Pushing the boudries of what it means to be a documentary while still telling a wonderful and intriguing story. Masterful work

41. You said in your Disney theme song video you wanted to become recognized as a "Documentarian" or an "Artist". This video proves you are neither. You're a creative visionary surpassing both of those titles!
