Tucked away at the back of the Forum Shops is a magnificent hall that centers around a 50, 000 gallon aquarium(home to over 600 species of fish). Every hour on the hour from 10am-11pm, a great throne rises from the center of the waters. Its occupant, one of the ancient Roman gods, tells the tale of how his children fought for--and ultimately destroyed--the continent of Atlantis. The audioanimatronics are the most advanced ever created, which is amazing since the show is free to the public.

Video produced in 1994 by Sneyd Syndicate Inc., Orillia, Ontario. This touching drama describes how a little boy is affected by witnessing his father beating his mother. Seven-year-old Jonathan is having trouble at school. He has a quick temper, a short attention span and he is reluctant to tell anyone what's troubling him. A black-eyed Susan in a bouquet of flowers reminds him of his mother's black eye and his father's violence, so Jonathan refuses to go home. When his mother comes to pick him up, the abuse is revealed, and Jonathan's family gets the help they need. The aim of this film is to show children in similar situations that there are things they can do to help themselves.
