Confirmed: Michael Jackson’s Captain EO Returns to Disneyland
Disney Parks has confirmed that Honey I Shrunk The Audience will be closing sometime in the next few weeks to make way for the the return of the Francis Ford Coppola-directed/George Lucas-produced Michael Jackson sci-fi action 3D musical short film Captain EO. The original film will return to Disneyland’s Tomorrowland beginning in February 2010.
Rumors that the attraction would return to the Southern California theme park hit the web in September, but were quickly denied by the mouse house. Bob Iger admitted at the time that Disney was considering the possibility but that “It’s the kind of thing that, if we did it, would get a fair amount of attention and we’d want to make sure we do it right.” Many people took the comment as meaning that Disney wanted to update the attraction in ways to appeal to today’s audiences.
The 17-minute film cost a record $17 million in 1986, a cost of about one million dollars per minute of film, this was, minute for minute, the most expensive motion picture of all time. If you adjust that number for inflation, it rises to almost $35 million. That’s a lot of money for a $17 million short film. Another fun factoid is that Steven Spielberg was originally signed on to direct the movie but had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts with his other film projects. The film opened in Epcot and Disneyland in mid-September 1986, Tokyo Disneyland in March 1987, and Disneyland Park (Paris) in 1992). All four installations were closed down by 1998.
The story followed Captain Eo and his rugged ragtag crew who went on a mission to deliver a special gift to a wicked queen (played by Anjelica Huston) who lives on a dark, desolate world. Captain EO can be found online on many of the video sharing websites.
The film featured two songs, “We Are Here to Change the World” and “Another Part of Me” by Michael Jackson. The action on the screen was recreated for the live audience using lasers, laser impacts, smoke effects, and starfields that filled the theater. The presentation was replaced by Honey I Shrunk the Audience, another live interaction 3D short.

Tributo à Michael Jackson é cancelado mais uma vez
A homenagem a Michael Jackson organizada por seu irmão Jermaine foi mais uma vez adiada. A primeira venda de ingressos para o tributo que aconteceria em Vienna emperrou depois que artistas como Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown e o veterano Natalie Cole saíram da lista de atrações.
Um novo concerto foi programado para acontecer em Londres, durante o verão, mas este também foi para a gaveta devido à dissolução da empresa que o organizava. Martin Schneider, representante da World Awards Media GmbH, companhia a frente da montagem do evento, afirma que não assinarão novos contratos nem planejam realizar novos shows. Segundo declarações, Jermaine ainda não sabe se irá contratar uma nova companhia para prestigiar seu irmão Michael.
