I thought I had indeed read somewhere that they are previewing a movie at the end of the year. It was just a rumour though.

I really enjoyed Captain EO - the first time I saw it in 1988. Now not so much. I do find it "historical" that the pre-show is the only reference to Kodak still left at WDW.

Captain EO is Disney having one less attraction to worry about. Just stick any old thing in a show building and let it rot.
In my opinion, it's not the only attraction Disney has that serves as filler (Stitch, Ellen, etc.)

I agree with you although Ellen is certainly not filler!

I think Ellen's Energy Adventure in its current state is now serving as filler, but I wouldn't want them to scrap the idea entirely. It just needs updating. Unlike Captain EO, which should be scrapped.

See, now, I have the opposite opinion. I wish most attractions were longer. I don't want to wait forever for a 2 minute ride. I appreciate these longer experiences very much.

Agree. I love the longer, more "epic" attractions.
People bash Ellen, but it's a really great concept that could be made a lot better with an update along the same lines. A 37 minute show is a welcome break in the action sometimes. A longer show can contain many different show elements and really tell a story. Problem today is people have such poor attention spans.

For what it's worth, I think Captain EO needs to go, but the theater has pretty good audio equipment, a moving audience, and a big screen. A re-themed attraction using the same equipment could work pretty well.
Even the "Honey I Shrunk the Audience" concept was OK, but truly out-dated. I'd like to see a less "stupid" attraction with some more elements of an original EPCOT ride, leaving you with a few thoughts about the future.

I would hate to see Captain EO gone before I had a chance to see it properly (then again, I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson, so...) but if they must replace it, I think a show based on Inside Out would be great and fit the Imagination theme perfectly.
