I was telling my DH about that. It seemed awesome at the time. I wonder what it would be like to watch it today compared to all the new ones.

I got to see that attraction once. I really liked it. That was the first trip my wife and I made to Disney and was the start of our Disney Fanatacism  . I was sad to learn of Michaels death. Although he had some personal issues I think he was a good person at heart.

1) No
2) No
3) No
4) No
5) No !
6) It wasn't that great to begin with.
7) Plus, WDW probably doesn't want the PR problems related to Michael.

I loved Captain EO!! You can YouTube it and they have the full movie on there. I think it's a cool idea for them to bring it back for a limited engagement, but I agree that Disney probably wouldn't due to the allegations surrounding his personal life. However, there's no denying he was a very significant and talented artist. I'm sad to see him pass.

Captain EO was the movie that had Michael as the captain of a spaceship that had to deliver a "gift" to a spidery evil woman (Angelica Huston). It had Michael's famous ensemble dancing and a cute little furry creature with wings.
I really liked that show a lot. My mom loved Michael's dancing so Captain EO was a "must-do" every time we went to Disneyland.
I have a video somewhere of the Making of Captain EO that I taped from the TV a long time ago.

I just watched in on youtube and I have to say, outside of the song and dance routine, the rest of the movie was terrible! I really don't think it will be coming back - doesn't seem to be Disney's style to bring back a defunct attraction to honor someone.

BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

We saw Captain EO many times "back in the day". Ok, I'll admit we didn't really find it amazing, however, it was a good 3D (and one of the only ones) movie at the time, so we saw it over and over.
We will certainly miss the MJ of old, back when he was the ultimate performer!

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
"So it is."
"And freezing."
"Is it?"
"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."

I just watched some of it on you tube, and honestly, I am not sorry I missed this at Disney. I couldn't even watch it all. Didn't like it, at all. So, as far as I'm concerned, they can keep it in the vault.

Took a look at it on Youtube...
Some things should stay in the past. Although good for the time, its time was about 25 years back. It doesn't wear well at all.
