Just wondering if its still playing or if they took it out?
 
It needs to be removed badly,very cheesy and the 3-D technology from 1986 was so bad your eyes hurt after watching it.The problem is the old Honey I Shrunk the audience show also needs to go ASAP.
 

I watched it a couple weeks ago for the first time since 1989.

Oh. My. Gosh. I really don't remember it being so lame. They announced it as a flashback to the 80's or something like that to make like they are keeping it for vintage coolness. Of course we all know better.
 
I happen to love Captain Eo...guess I'm in the minority. I do think it has run its "tribute" course and that its time for the entire Imagination pavilion to get a large refurb/makeover.

I enjoyed it too. Yes, it's totally cheesy 80's. Accept that before you go in. I remember watching it as a kid, so I loved the memories. :)
 
You're not alone - I loved it too.
And I didn't even have the nostalgia factor to blame it on.
But it was the first and only time that 3-d worked for me. I don't know what's different between Eo and all the others but it was amazing to experience that for the first time.

I saw it in its original run and remember loving it, but I was 8 years old then. I will be back in the World for the first time since then next week and am looking forward to experiencing it as an adult. Also, DD LOVES MJ, so I think we'll have fun with it.
 
We watch it almost everytime we go to EPCOT. Michael sings a little bit of "The way you make me feel" towards the end (which makes everything else about the film seem more tolerable, even Kooter."
 
I personally love the attraction. It's nostalgic and it's MJ. It is cheesy, but it's still entertaining imo
 
I love Captain EO! Of course, I'm a huge MJ fan, so it'd be a crime not to ;)

However, it's not just the MJ fans who like it. A month or so ago I was at Disneyland, and when we saw EO the theater was very full and everyone was having a great time!
 
wow havnt seen a EO thread in a while.

i love EO - i like the nostalgia of it. and the litte cart outside selling the merch is always a stop during my trip.

i was never a fan of honey shrunk the audience tho, i never really got the films as a kid, but i was always big into star wars and star trek so the EO show appeals to me a bit better.

not saying its the best show ever but its a decent little watch on a trip i think. its like a trip back in time and i like it.

on the other hand i do hope they update it to somthing new at some point. :thumbsup2
 
Unfortunately yes.

Nice to hear some can get a nap there it gave me nightmares while awake and for days after. Uggg. Creepy.

My feelings exactly :goodvibes about Captain EO! I LOVE the Supreme Leader when she drops from the ceiling like a giant spider....her makeup is so great!
 
I enjoy Captain EO even more when I pretend it is a part of official Star Wars canon.

"WE ARE HERE TO CHANGE THE WOOOOORLD"
 
It's the second worst thing George Lucas ever did....

I personally love it. Wanted to buy MJs tshirt last time i was there but they stopped selling them.
