Poll: Bring Back Captain Eo For A Short Time?

Soundgod · 07-07-2009

With the passing of Micheal Jackson, in memorium should Disney bring back Captain Eo for the next month? I realize that the theater is themed for Honey, I Shrunk The Audience, but I'm guessing that the hardware is still in place to run the Captain Eo film instead and that guests will ignore the Honey theming just to be able to see Eo for one last time, or perhaps for the only time.
I'm not a raging Micheal Jackson fan, but I do think it would be fitting to bring Captain Eo out of the vault for a month.

I'd love it. I'm a huge fan and I do not remember Captain EO. However, it would never ever happen.

mickeysgirlz · 07-07-2009

I think that would be AWESOME! I'd love for my girls to see it.

**WishUponAStar** · 07-07-2009

OMG, Captain EO!!! I have VIVID memories of clinging on to my Grandma's arm 'cause I was so scared of that scary ladies putting her creepy fingernails into my face.

I'd love to see it again, in 3-D, but it probably would never happen.

I vote no. At the risk of looking like a heartless person (which I do not believe I am) I'm honestly sick of all the attention he's getting. It's a dated attraction and Disney need not be sucked into the hype.

W...e...t... nevah' mind!

dznygrl · 07-07-2009

Absolutely. I think that would be cool.

trl1812 · 07-07-2009

I agree with Screever.

Don't be like that. Screever is allowed to speak her mind just like you guys.

**MissDisney** · 07-07-2009

What a lovely gesture that would be... there are so many people who would love to re-live it, and so many more who would enjoy being introduced to it.

Very nice thought and perfect timing.

P.S. Considering his stature in the world of music and business, I don't think you can call the news coverage "hype." Perhaps the it is too much coverage, but "hype" means something else entirely.

I loved Captain Eo, I think one month is not good enough. It should come back until I can get back there

True..I missed the month part!

2nd Star · 07-07-2009

Yes, I would like to see it on DVD too. Also I think they need a new film there.

Amen to that! I'd be so mad if it came back and I didn't get to see it.

LittleMissMagic · 07-07-2009

Someone suggested this on DISboards.

I don't remember ever seeing this. I suppose I might've when I was little, but I definitely don't recall. So, I wouldn't mind if they brought it back. I think it would be interesting to watch. And considering MJ's recent death, it's probably more up-to-date than the current Honey I Shrunk the Audience.
