Last dance for Captain EO on 12 April 2015

Created in 1986 by George Lucas,
Francis Ford Coppola and Walt Disney Imagineering, Captain EO enchanted
Guests at Disneyland Paris between 12 April 1992 and 30 September 1998.
Reopening temporarily in 2010 in tribute to the late Michael Jackson,
who played the lead role in this 3D musical film, Captain EO will close its doors for the last time next 12 April*. It’s time to “save the world” in songs one last time.
Return in 1986
While at the peak of a phenomenal career, Michael Jackson joined forces with Disney, executive producer George Lucas Star Wars”,
“Raiders of the Lost Ark”) and director Francis Ford Coppola (“The
Godfather”, “Apocalypse Now”) to create a 17-minute 3D film event
together. In this ambitious production (the biggest ever of the time!)
Michael Jackson becomes Captain EO, performing music and choreography of
his own creation alongside Oscar-winner Anjelica Huston and a number of
mythical characters straight from space.
Welcome to the extraordinary world of Captain EO
In “Captain EO”, Michael Jackson is transported to another planet, surrounded by
characters created by Disney who are, to say the very least,
extraordinary. Guests meet Hooter, a small green elephant-like character
who sneezes musical notes; Fuzzball, a curious monkey with orange fur and butterfly wings;
Geex, a character with two-heads and golden hair; Major Domo who changes
into a drum kit and Minor Domo, his inseparable companion who
transforms into an electronic synthesiser. The
adventures of “Captain EO” transport Michael Jackson and his crew to
the discovery of a planet without colour, governed by the terrible
Supreme Leader (played by Anjelica Huston). Invoking the universal powers of music, dance and
light, together they try to save this threatened land and enrich it with
technicolour.

A spectacular musical adventure
With the many facets of its technology
and production, “Captain EO”, for anyone who’s seen it, remains a
fantastic musical adventure with first-rate artistic production. The
work of Walt Disney Imagineering focused on architectural and theatrical
design and in-theatre special effects, a first before the 90s. The 3D
experience represented absolute realism for the time. From the very
beginning, the ambition was for Captain EO to incorporate all the 3D
technology of the era: Walt Disney Imagineering’s experience with the film
Magic Journeys, produced in 1982 for the EPCOT Center, led to the
discovery of new and spectacular 3D techniques using new cameras
specially designed for Disney. In 2010, Disneyland Paris screened a new
version of the filmin 70mm. In-theatre acoustic arrangements which were new since its last
screening and a gigantic hydraulic platform synchronised with the most
exciting moments of the film also enhanced the viewer experience.
“Captain EO” is a unique film reflecting the biggest Hollywood
talents joining forces with Michael Jackson – from the biggest directors
to the biggest choreographers and designers, including costume and
special effects designers – all carried by the magic of this unique
experience created in 3D. Don’t miss the last screening of this symbolic
Disney park attraction! The Discoveryland Theater will be showing new
events soon.
*Last performance at 4.40 p.m.
