    <reviewbody>We start off by continuing with this amazing puppet show.. Weee!! A trapeze and a lion tamer!! The lion tamer is amusing with his tricks.. then  we see what looks like a pixie on a moon.. Charlie Mcarthy is backÂ whoa, two guys on a bicycle built for 2!! Okay, enough of that! We then go to the Court Of States buildings.. all sorts of buildings here.. nice entrance! We go first into what looks like the main courtyard, we see PennsylvaniaÂs building in the distance, and a neat world structure up front. (I suppose weÂre seeing the giant sphere later?) Upon closer inspection, the smaller sphere is somewhat ugly.. what is that supposed to represent? We find out the the body of water in the courtyard is the Âlagoon of statesÂ, which is quite funny sounding. Look! ThereÂs the trashcan of states! Anyways..  from there we go to a replica of an old barracks in New Jersey. Heaven knows what kind of historical significance this building holds. I mean, who cares? We then get a more closer view of PhiladelphiaÂs building, mmmkay.. then another unidentifiable building.. Then, off to MissouriÂs building! Is it me, or does it appear itÂs shot from the side? Oops, then we see the front entrance. Oddly not in the center of the building though, We then see Washington stateÂs building.. Dull, except it looks to have an extra large school trophy sticking out of it. After that, we see New EnglandÂs display.. A Clipper ship! Pretty wild, as it appears people are working on itÂs mastings, even though itÂs uh, not really going anyplace. I saw a Japanese flag.. what was that about? After a short visit on the clipperÂs deck, we see more unidentifiable buildings, (a market of some kind) and then we see some row boats.. Mmmkay. OH! ItÂs a replica of a Maine Lobster Deck! Kinda neat, just wondering how much of that was tied down.. Then, on to FloridaÂs building, which looks quite garish and quite inviting. It also has an ÂexoticÂ and ÂgarishÂ garden which consists of a fountain and a few palm trees. Oh! And they also have orange trees! Not too sure if people could pick them, but the one thing they do have is Ice cream! Medicus and unidentified female companion suck one up for their enjoyment! Mmm!! DidnÂt Celine Dion wear her hat at the Oscars one year? And dammit, everyone seemed to have gone to the fair in three piece suits it seems.. We then go briefly to the U.S. Army and Navy buildings. And curiously, the army and Navy are THERE, like they have the barracks and everything. Now THATÂS strange. We see them play a lively game of volleyball and see the said barracks. We then see a curious military procession. ItÂs in front of the MASSIVE building, no idea what it is. The whole thing looks like it comes from a Russian military excersise. It looks like noone is there to watch it though. Look at all the empty seats! And whoa, did you see that flag flying the wrong way while someone was walking? And then, we come to the final portion of this part.. YesÂ. COLORFUL FOUNTAINS!! Lets see, very nice multicolored ones there, they seem to shapeshift.. We then do what Medicus likes to do whenever itÂs nighttime, go back to buildings heÂs visited previously and look at them at nighttime.. Brought to you by Consolidated Edison! We see the General Electric building.. Those massive waterfalls, which still look amazing, Synchronized water fountains, from different angles.. they are in front of the U.S. steel building! This whole scene looks to me like it was shot in Vegas. A peek into the GE building is next.. Look! Remember the pendulums? They have another pendulum type gadget there that I didnÂt see there before as well. They have a tower that also does neat little multicolored tricks as well. Then we go in front of a building that promises ÂBetter LivingÂ. Not too sure what that is. Then we get an extended water fountain show. Red fountains! Green fountains! High water! Low Water! Not too sure what those numerals in the back are supposed to mean though.. Pretty soon, the fountains are shooting off fireworks! Weee! And thatÂs it for this round.. No real highlight here, except for the puppet show at the beginning. ItÂs sort of hard to like this, when youÂre faced with a seven minute water show..</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>This 3rd reel drags at times. There is still some interesting views in color.  Within a short time the sailors would be doing more than marching in exhibitions. While visiting the 1939-40 World's Fair the people of that time could forget for a brief moment the events unfolding
in a real world of war and destruction.</reviewbody>
