Disney’s Final CAPTAIN EO Screening Will Be on December 6th
It looks like Disney is ready to retire Michael Jackson’s 3D adventure film Captain EO for good. Even though the movie hasn’t played at Disneyland for years, it’s still been an attraction at Walt Disney World’s Epcot Center. But it won’t be for much longer.
According to the Disney fan blog Chip & Company the final screening of the film will take place on December 6th. The even posted proof with this poster that was posted outside of the attraction.
Captain EO was released in 1986, and I would watch it every time I went to Disneyland up until the point that they removed it. I am such a big fan of the Francis Ford Coppola-directed sci-fi film, and it’s kind of sad to hear that it will no longer be a part of any of the Disney parks.
The next time we might see Captain EO is in the video game Disney Infinity. At least that’s what Disney VP John Vignocchi wants to do. He got the greenlight, so I don’t see why he wouldn’t!
Captain EO will also always live online, but it's just not the same watching it in a theater in 3D with awesome sound.
