No, there are at least three of us :wave:
MJ and Capt. EO
My family always enjoyed and looked forward to seeing Captain EO when visiting Epcot. I would love to see it again at the parks if at all possible.:sohappy:

That was by far the least enjoyable attraction of EPCOT for me the first few years. And that song.....Maaaaaagic Jooooourneys. Maaaaaaagic Joooooourneys.
Blah!

I don't remember Magic Journeys. I was alive when it was playing, but pretty young. I was about 5-7 when it stopped. Today, I listen to official soundtracks and make it a point to skip that track. Were some Imagineers or designers on some mushrooms? I can only imagine how it looked from the song.

As I said in the other thread, it's not the right move to bring back EO. Disney can't be seen to market its return lest it be accused of capitalising on his death. Jackson's controversial allegations won't benefit Disney by association either, and the theater would be packed with crying people rather than laughing people. Captain EO should stay in everyone's nostalgia-tainted minds where it belongs for all eternity, rather than be carted out again as some sort of funeral service in 3D form.

Am I the only one who likes the song from Magic Journeys?! I can't be alone.
And as much as I'd like to see Captain EO replace Honey, I Bored the Audience, it's not going to happen. I agree with Fun2BFree. A new movie, however, is really needed for that theatre.
A Blu-ray release could be done as the technology to do it properly (without red/blue glasses) exists but studios have not agreed upon a standard way to do it. Once they do a special edition with the TV special on the making of the film could be included along with an Audio Commentary, image gallery, TV spots etc.

Great idea! (and maybe feature a bit about the previous and current films in the Magic Eye Theater.)

As for CEO, I don't know how they could release it with out is looking like capital. Sadly, D23 would work, sorta...If it were not so expensive.:lookaroun

I don't remember there being a ride. I remember a 3d film (attraction) but no ride. I think they should release it on DVD. I mean is Universal the only studio smart enough to release an official DVD feature on an attraction (the Back to the Future DVD has the complete lobby, preshow and ride footage of Back to the Future the ride) There had been fan made versions for years. Universal saw the $$ and decided why not. I really hope Disney will release this on DVD..

Yeah, put it in line right behind the Adventurers Club and 20K.

:shrug: You never know. This would be good publicity for the park since many MJ fans could watch and experience this.
It would seem that I, like alot of others around here, have the ability to separate the man from the art. When it comes to MJ, you almost have to. I certainly didn't idolize him, but I did like his music and movies. A person's greatness as an artist isn't simply nullified because of his/her questionable personal life. If that were the case, folks would be tossing out Mel Gibson films by the dozen or refusing to watch Seinfeld because Michael Richards is in it.
