Yeah, it's kind of a guilty pleasure but it's the best 3-D music video ever filmed. The films that replaced it don't even touch it.

I hated that there were people in the show that would scream out negative things when Michael was shown. Captain Robert remains one of my favorite shows.

I saw it when it returned. It was ok. Only needed to see it once.

Absolutely love Captain EO. I still think Disney is missing a great money maker by not selling their old movies. Maybe when Disney's streaming service comes online we can have the option of streaming Captain EO into our homes.

Captain EO.. forever in my heart and mind.. for all you haters comparing it to today's cinematography.. I sure hope you don't like the old Pirates AA's, or Illuminations, or anything else that isn't 100% updated... Otherwise your comment would seem a bit hypocritical. For when it came out it was great, and frankly I think the messaging was positive, and something that sets Disney in general apart as well. He wasn't a perfect person, none of us are, but the message of coming together is something I think is as relevant now as it was when the movie was made. I still rock my 2 shirts on each trip down there.

Whenever someone isn't doing something that I want them to do I call out, "HOOTER!" in this tone of voice.
Man, I loved this show! I miss it so much. The first time I saw it, I sat in the theatre for a long time after it ended and just cried because it made me miss the magic of Michael Jackson so much.

I appreciated that it was an open attraction and not an empty site. It did fill in some time when I was in the park. But it was never an attraction I went to multiple times. I however did greatly appreciate MJ's music, talents and ability to entertain so I will join with you celebrating his Bday anniversary and continue to grieve the loss of his presence to the music world.
