About "Capture A Smile"
Hey, all!
The EO preshow song was called "Makin' Memories". The edited version was on the official park releases of the era, and the full 7 minute show version is available at the usual web places.
Magic Journeys was a journey into kids dreams. A very loose storyline I admit, more like in Kermits explanation full of "cheap 3D tricks".
Hey Marni,
You're correct about Makin' Memories--but it was the preshow to Magic Journeys when that was the 3d show. Around 1987, they switched the show in the Magic Eye theater to Captain Eo, but kept the Makin' Memories preshow for a year or so. Sometime around 1990 or so, they changed the song to "Capture A Smile" (I've listed lyrics from both below to compare). Eventually they cancelled that preshow, and began showing True Colors instead. They continued that preshow even after Captain Eo was cancelled and replaced with Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. They then switched to their current preshow, which really is just a mix of pictures/stories to advertise Kodak.
Again.....the second preshow "Capture A Smile" is the one that I'm looking for. Hopefully someone out there has a copy of it, or knows where it can be found. I have been searching for it for the past three or four years ever since my website closed down.
Thanks,
Anthony

Makin Memories
Long Before The Old Model T
Round About The Turn of the Century
Folks Discovered A Barrel of Fun
Taking Pictures By the Light Of The Sun
Smile, Hug, Look At the Camera
Hold Your Breath and Say Cheese
And With Every Shot We Take,
We Are Makin' Memories

The fact that I remember that much of a ten minute preshow tells you how much I loved the song. I hope someone can help me out. I'm looking for any audio or video of the show. Thanks!!!
