Of course they would probably replace it with a 4-d experience from our lovable blue alien from the MK....

I think I'd rather see the cycloptic green character than the lovable blue alien...

Hmmm...a monster and an alien...wasn't there a movie..oh wait, wrong studio!

A note to any Disney people who might be reading this...Please do NOT get any ideas about the lovable blue alien and cycloptic green monster!

(I should have called him a monster from the get-go to prevent any confusion...sorry

)

Y'know, it is such a BAD idea, someone at Disney reading this would just love it!

So there's no official word yet to how long Captain EO might be at WDW?

I'd sure love to go down and see it again. Not sure how to make that happen though!

Nice... at least casrin is in my corner wanting to see it again. Thought I was alone.

Though I depise it, I don't mind if others like it (just no accounting for taste, that's all)...

I'm not thrilled about this.

1. No matter if he was guilty or not of whatever, the Michael Jackson of recent years does not seem to go with the family image of disney - just MHO, I know others feel differently

2. Just because its new to some visitors doesn't make it new. We'd like a 4-D movie that is truly new, not a rerun of one that was made in the early 80s and closed in 1997....disney can do better

That has bother me too...it seems like because he's dead he's now a saint and all things he had done before (unproven in court) evaporated as if it never happened...

I agree, Michael Jackson does not fit with a family-friendly image.

Doesn't moving forward into the future involve incorporating and sometimes rehashing pieces of the past into it? Look at the movies and fashion. It seems like any siginificant movie or tv series from the 80's is being remade and 80's clothes are making a comeback. Who knows. Maybe 80's rock will make a resurgence too!

According to Tony Baxter...Captain EO was brought back (to Disneyland) because today's teenagers who are Michael Jackson fans have never seen Captain EO. He likened it to how Walt used to re-release his classic movies every decade or so because children then had never seen them. This was before VHS or anything like that, so theatrical releases were the only way to enjoy movies.

Again...that is Tony Baxter's reasoning for bringing it back...so take it for what it's worth. http://www.endorexpress.net/special-fea ... interview/
