On various Internet sites, including the “Captain EO @ Disneyland” Facebook page, Disneyland is being urged to bring back the Captain EO attraction to honor Michael Jackson.
Captain EO, which debuted at Disneyland on Sept. 18, 1986 (six days after its world premiere at Walt Disney World’s Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida), and ran continuously through April of 1997..
Other sites where people are calling for EO’s return to Disneyland include YouTube, Examiner.com, and Movieline.com.
Because of its revolutionary 3-D effects, Disneyland guests enjoyed the Star Warsesque flick projected in a tricked-out theater that sat 500 people per screening.
Captain EO cost about $30 million to make, which makes it both the most expensive 17-minute film ever made and most expensive music video ever, since that’s what it really is. It showcased two songs, “We Are Here to Change the World” and “Another Part of Me.”
