Does anyone else miss Captain EO as much as I do?

You can watch part 1 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=AstW05bDiQU) here and part 2 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=l2Zt-57Cg0U&feature=related) here, but the resolution isn't great and of course 3-D makes a BIG difference. :cool:

Here's a poll- I'll try to set it so you can vote as many choices as you like.

We saw it at Epcot and liked it very well. I think it's a shame MJ turned out so weird. He was pretty cool when he was younger.

I do not miss it at all, and think they kept it around too long.

That's a nice way to put it. Of course that's what I meant by "side issues" :blush: ...along with all the $ they'd have to pay him & Lucas to show EO again.

Wouldn't the Disney PR people just love having to answer all the reporter's questions? :rolleyes: (I love the press but I don't always love the influence they have on others' decisions that affect me. Did I word that carefully enough? :D)

Nice MJ moonwalk at 5:25 of EO part 2 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=l2Zt-57Cg0U&feature=related). If you like that, check out similar moves in this video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ymZw6kt1Lwk) at :39 (grey suited guy across back of room) and at 1:28... other videos of same dancer in this thread (http://www.intercot.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=126945).

Never saw it

Well, then you've been deprived, just like those who've missed out on Mr Toad's ride. :yes:

I'll always remember sitting in the EO theatre wearing my 3D glasses, when the "star field" lights all over the curtains (+ ceiling + walls? help me somebody) would shift from 2D to 3D... wow... :magic: Tell me, those who remember, has there ever been a neater effect in WDW? (nothing like that at Muppetvision or Philharmagic or HISTA, right?). After that it probably didn't matter whether I even liked the film. :D

It was okay. We have a video of it. It doesn't show the cool effects but it's fun to see and remember.:mickey:

It was just OK as far as I was concerned and actually like the Honey I Shrunk the Audience that replaced it because it included more special effects then Captain did. Plus, I never was a huge fan of Michael Jackson's music even before he went all weird on us.
