Disney's portrait of America (and Canada)

October 30, 2007

Disney has produced a seven minute film for the US departments of state and homeland security to encourage visitors to the US. The film, entitled Welcome: Portraits of America and which you can view on the Discover America homepage, will be shown in airports and embassies.

However,the Guardian reports a glitch - the water falls pictured are none other than the Horseshoe Falls, which mostly lie inside Canada.
