"Captain EO" Returning To Disneyland

It was inevitable, one would say. Disney is dusting off "Captain EO" and running it under a "limited engagement" at Disneyland.


The 17-minute “Captain EO” cost an estimated $30 million and featured a star-studded list of credits, including executive producer George Lucas, director Francis Ford Coppola and Anjelica Huston as the evil Supreme Leader.

The 3-D movie — featuring lasers, smoke and stars that extend into the audience — tells the story of Captain EO on a mission to deliver a musical gift to a wicked alien queen on a dystopian planet. EO’s rag-tag crew included his sidekick Fuzzbucket, security officer Major Domo and blundering shipmate Hooter.


I have never seen it, so I can't tell if it is any good. But I suppose if I happen to stumble over it, I might go see it just for the curiosity factor.

If it becomes a "hit" at Disneyland, will Disney consider running it at the other parks that it played in as well?

Zz.
