I'm not sure HOW I feel about this.

Miceage.com’s Al Lutz reported Tuesday that top Disney officials have met to discuss the possibility of reviving Jackson’s 3D movie during Halloween time, which begins Sept. 25. The movie would replace “Honey, I Shrunk the Audience” in the Magic Eye Theater in Tomorrowland, where “Captain EO” used to show.

...

Ooooooh, zombie Michael!

I know, I know - a bunch of y'all never saw it. Me, I was in school while it was in production and I saw it MANY times once it was out.

It's cheezy, dated and hokey. Fine.

I loved it. And yes, I thought of it when I heard he'd passed...and the commenter who mentions this is from when things were good for him...weren't lying. I think of this, and the 'We Are The World' video when I think of what I wanted for Michael Jackson.

Just some more good. Something whole and happy.

Not something that required a general anesthesia to suck it up at night.

I really liked Captain EO, and like you, I saw it multiple times. I was disappointed when they took it out. :(

For reasons I cannot understand (though, as I said to [livejournal.com profile] murphymom yesterday, "It's my brain, and I gave up trying to figure THAT out years ago"), I have grown rather fixated on Michael since his passing. It's not like I was a huge fan while he was alive - god knows I was probably the only kid in 8th grade who didn't own a copy of Thriller.

I've wanted to go back to Disney for quite some time now; if they actually go ahead with this, it may well be what pushes me over the edge into making it happen. (Assuming, of course, that I can find the friggin' money to get to SoCal and back in time, to say nothing of tickets.)

I vaguely remember Captain EO. (Went to Disneyworld once around age... 8? Something like that.)

I had a plush Figment that was alternately a much cuddled good dragon that helped my various other toys or a much cuddled evil dragon that burned their imaginary villages to cinders.

If I remember correctly, it was removed around the same time "Circlevision" was. I actually saw it in 1996 before they took it out. We basically hit it with the knowledge that it WAS going to be removed soon. Though, I don't remember TOO much from it I did see it at least once.
