CinéMagique may be relatively simple as far as theme park attractions go, but it's extremely well executed, it has quite a few surprises, and most of all -- it's thoroughly entertaining.
"Breaking the fourth wall" has become tiresome in other movies, but here it takes on a completely different (literal) twist, as Martin Short stumbles through American and European movie history, looking for a way out.
Not all of the transitions work as smoothly (and funny) as that to the Titanic segment, but even in the show's weaker parts, it's still fun to recognize the movies and to watch Short (playing totally over-the-top) react to and interact with these situations.
As an aside-note, the original cut of this film included a segment from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which was later replaced by Hunt for Red October. I don't know why this was changed, but I thought the original scene was slightly more appealing.
Still, if you're planning a visit to Walt Disney Studios in Paris, don't miss this one!
