If you’re a fan of the arts, then you’ve come to the right EPCOT festival. And if you’re especially into theater, dance, and opera, you can’t miss the new “Tales As Old As Time: French Storytelling on Stage and Screen” exhibit inside the Palais du Cinema in the France pavilion. The exhibit is now on display for guests as they wait for the next film showing, be it the new Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along or the digitally remastered classic, Impressions de France.
The exhibit explores how iconic stories we know and love have made their transformation from page to the stage, including some incredible costumes, props, and other items from the live-action screen adaptations of Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and The Three Musketeers.\

Beauty and the Beast – Cinema
The Hunchback of Notre Dame – Theatre

Also on display are items from local, French-inspired productions by the Orlando Ballet, Opera Orlando and The Garden Theatre—offering a unique new way for families to learn more about the arts and providing an outlet for local community organizations to reach even more people, expanding their missions to connect children and families to the arts well beyond the Central Florida region.
