Captain Eo to return to Disneyland... Maybe... (Maybe Not.)(Ok so it's true)

Post by CujoSR » Wed Sep 09, 2009 2:03 am

Miceage, KFI and Perezhilton.com are reporting rumors that Captain Eo may return to Disneyland this January in memoriam of the late Micheal Jackson. The Honey Theater will be closed this week for a private showing for executives.

Expect an announcment this week at the D23 expo.

I thought they were also talking about updating it, with a different performer as the captain?

Even though I liked MJ as a performer, I don't think the public would take kindly to a show starring a child molester these days. It's too controversial.

I think it could get interesting, because people don't want to speak ill of the dead and what not. Also, many people wouldn't recognize him in Captain EO because it was before he went insane.


There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Considering the sales of his music and DVDs recently I don't think it will matter much.

Isn't Perez Hilton that whack job that gave Ms California a hard time for stating her 'views'?

Probably it was just one of the sites that mentioned it. I have no opinion on the matter.

I thought the main reason for the "do over" was that the technology had vastly improved since they had made the Captain Eo.

I can think of several other actors that would be better in the part of Captain Eo, the queen, and the other parts.

I did check that out. I belive it returns Jan. 2010 and runs for a year. A tribute to his music. I liked the video and the dancing. George Lucas did a great job for the show. :)

Having seen "Captain Eo", I think I'd prefer to see "Captain Eeyore" in that theater.

Or at least as a pre-show!
