Captain EO
So I just watched Captain EO on youtube. I have not seen that film since it was shown at the Imagination pavilion back in the day. What a blast from the past! I had seen it quite a few times when I was younger but had forgotten much of the film over the years. It was almost like seeing it for the first time.

I am going to have to go to You Tube and check it out. Loved Caption EO. I have a button from that attraction

I recently youtubed Captain EO also to show my DH, and I was suprised to see how dark the film was. I really didn't remember any of it. It was almost creepy to me. I can't believe that I liked the attraction so much as a little girl...at least they tell me I did!
When did this attraction get replaced? Does anyone know?

It closed in July 1994 I think. Our first trip with the kids was May of '94, I remember it closing shortly afterward.

Can you imagine that even being an attraction today? It was creepy and terrifying and represented everything great about the 80s.

I did think it was a bit creepy watching it the other day, but I remember really liking it as a kid. It is nice to take a trip down memory lane and watch it again even though it isn't in the original 3D format.

Didn't they have this at the MK for awhile after it ended it's run at EPCOT? I may be totally misremembering, but for some reason I want to say that it had a short run at MK, possibly where Mickey's philharmagic is.
Am I totally confused

You are thinking of the film Magical Journeys that played before Capt. EO that was sponsored by Kodak, Ghost.

Captain EO was the "cutting edge" in 3-D entertainment at the time. If I recall it starred Michael Jackson.
However...I don't think Michael Jackson and Disney quite go together anymore.

I loved Captain EO! I've seen the You Tube video. We have at least one stuffed animal, and I have a pin! That was before pins were popular and plentiful. We used to have the white shirt with the rainbow on the front, but we got rid of those long ago.
