Not really. I watched part of it and it's basically indistinguishable from stuff that's dubbed for so-called international francophone audiences.
Yes, both places have their industries but they both tend to produce stuff that's palatable for the other's market (and all francophone markets in the world in fact).
Only a tiny portion of stuff gets dubbed in true colloquial Québécois and these tend to be semi-famous and most people here could ring them off: Slap Shot, The Flintstones (past and present), The Simpsons, etc.
The most recent Smurfs films were done in Quebec as well with pop star Marie-Mai doing Smurfette and this was headlined in the ads and trailers, but the actual French spoken in the movie was 99% compatible with the French spoken in France.
