Michael Jackson is back. OK, stay with me here: In February 2010, the "Honey I Shrunk The Audience" attraction at Disneyland in southern California is out. Taking back its place is a 17-minute "3-D musical motion picture space adventure" starring the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson, who performs two songs: "We Are Here to Change The World" and "Another Part of Me." The movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and produced by George Lucas. The 3-D experience is called Captain EO, and it originally played at Epcot and Disneyland starting in 1986 until closing around 1998. Captain EO cost about a million dollars to make per minute, and was at the time the most expensive motion picture ever.

The short film was about Captain EO (Jackson) and his crew traveling towards a bitter queen who lived in a cold dark world. (who was played by Anjelica Huston). In the original presentation, lasers, laser impacts, smoke effects, and starfields were used.

Disney Parks Blog says that Captain EO will run for a "limited time," but does not indicate when it might close.

MJ fans: get ready to experience (or re-experience) what sounds to be a monumental movie event. Rick Moranis fans: prepare to weep the loss of the giant ant and seeing Rick Moranis in 3-D.
