Captain EO Returns!
Filed under: Michael Jackson
The folks over at Disneyland are said to be announcing the return of Captain EO to the park this January.
An outcry of park and Michael Jackson fans has urged for the return of the attraction to honor his memory.
Captain EO was a 17 minute long 3D space adventure created especially for the Disney parks, starring MJ and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
We hear that official word will come from the head-honchos on Sept 10th. We think this is a nice tribute to MJ. It truly was an awesome show!
Are U excited for the return of Captain EO?

He's probably living this video in space right now.
Yes ! Cant wait to go back to Disney and watch it
Leave Michael alonooooooooooooone!
wow,isnt that…………something
People will do anything to cash in on his death, it's quite sad.
That's great! Michael would have been so happy to see this return. The day it opens I know he will be looking down w/ that big and bright smile. He loved Disneyland so I'm not surprised that they would bring this back in honor of him. R.I.P Michael
Oh, I had never heard of it. Sounds interesting though.
Got back yesterday, b. Yat whole time. We are def. going where I went to…you'll really like it! I'll tell you about it next time we T. So many things reminded me of you. Once again your music followed me everywhere! ym ms 46 bg

Hey, Mario!

Can this you, this site and all here go one month without anything posted on here regarding FrankenJacko? Please.
*
Must we all be subjected to his pre-fabricated, drug addict, pedophile mug, along with the likes of Splooger Pratt and his dumb bimbo, Hagdona, Lady Gag Gag, Mooriah, Crackney Houston, Twatney Sperms, Jon Grosselin, Lindsleaze Whorehan or Beat-He-Down Brown?
*
Man, really. You focus on so many lame D to Z-listers, has-beens, country-ghetto trailer trash, drug addicts, waste cases, the talent-challenged, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
*
I mean, once in a while you throw something up on the site that is about someone cool. The Drew Barrymore one just below is an example of such.
*
The never-ending FrankenJacko ones (along with those named previously) are examples of what NOT to post about so frequently.
*
How about some real journalistic effort for a change, instead of the C&P stuff posted a day or two later from other sites.
*
Well, anyways…

Greatest 3D movie of all time!!
I never saw it but would love to see it!
woohoo yeah!!!!! old school disney!
I downloaded it a few months ago. I haven't seen it, but it's one of my childhood Disney World faves. Of course the downloaded version isn't going to be as good since I don't think it's 3D.
Re: Rasputin's Liver – Woooooww….you must have too much time on your hands. Weirdo.
Disney is seeing if they can get enough little boys to sit on your lap during the MJ ride. That's what MJ loved about this ride. The lap jockeys.
go watch it on youtube. it will save you lots money!
Why is it always Disneyland? They never do anything good for Disney World… jus ’cause Walt wasn't around to build it.
hell yeah! can't wait
No.
NO, I am not excited about the return of "Captain EO"! Although, Disneyland is a good place for Michael Jackson with all those children milling around. Like a kid in a candy store; "which one should I pick to diddle tonight?"
He was a pedophile.
Why do people completely ignore the fact that he was accused of child molestation and drugging 11 and 12 year old boys at least three times? It's sad that no one thinks of those poor kids.
the ride is near the rear of the park. That's where MIchael liked it.
Wasn't this ride called the brown tunnel of love when Michael was alive?
Old news
i dont know who captain eo is . but thats coo,l i guess
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – wow ur not that smart. Guess u only read tabloids.
Did Disney forget about why they dropped it in the first place? People want to cannonize a Pedophile!!!
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – you have no new catch phrases huh ? get a life bitch !
Re: bongo – admit you LOVE MJ ! or you wouldnt be obsessed with writing abt him on every post !
Im sick of the MJ mania, he wasn't even relevant when he died. And I've never heard of this movie, so I'm assuming it's al old person thing.
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock –
Oh, boo hoo, and you sweetie old hag Madonna isn't? The "model" she fucking is jail bait.
i think this is bullshit!
they ripped it away from him because of charges that where never even held against him…even before the courts decided!
now he is gone and they want to bring it back…and make money on it and him!
shame on disney…this is low and discusting!
v
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock –
Think again. Do some research on the greedy Arvizio family and that greedy father Evan Chandler, who says he would ruin MJ's life
yes!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
I LOVE captain EO!!!!
Oh yeah, totally excited that an attraction starring a pedophile will be re-opening in a place for children. *eyeroll* I'm at least glad that this garbage is being re-opened in Disneyland, and not Disney World. Freaking ridiculous. I wish I could go one day without hearing something about "honoring" this disgusting man.
I hardley go to disney land
But hell yeah Im excited!
ughh why just disneyland? why not Disney World? Nothing cool ever comes to Disney World
Re: Amsterdamgirl – I've done the research. The fact that this man admitted that he shared his bed with 11 year old should set off red flags for everyone. It's so awful he got away with it. I don't believe 12 year olds lie "all for the money" Sorry.
Re: druppelstop – The tabloids didn't accuse him the COURTS and the POLICE and the VICTIMS did.
I loved loved LOVED Captain EO. Anjelica Houston scared the bejeebus out of me.
You know, it's so sad that you are praising Michael after years of saying the most awful things about him. You are a sad human being.
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – You go Tick Tock. This guy was the biggest PERV ever. Bedtime at Neverland was when the big hand was on the little hand.
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – The fact that u can't separate "sharing your bed with.." and "having sex with" makes me scared of you. Piece of filth.
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – And the courts found him not to be guilty on all accounts…
Hell Yeah!! I am so excited!!! Back to Disneyland I go!!! No matter the price!!!! Love you always MJ Rest In Peace
Right after I heard Michael Jackson died, I watched Captain EO on YouTube. Loved it.
Re: jonesz – More like Molest in Peace, not rest in peace
GREAT!!!!!!!
Disneyland here I come!!!!!
Yay that's great!!! i love the sound of that!!! I went to disneyland in 06 but im definately keen to go again just for Captain EO!!! Awsome.
I'll be the first in line although I must acknowledge Disney's hipocrisy. They are jumping on the "now that he's dead, it's cool to love him again" bandwagon. I love all the people that come on here and complain about the love-fest the American media is holding for a "pedophile". They only contribute because love is measured in "hits" to the site, not the idiotic comments left. We all view the same ads whether we love the subject or not.
OMG I loved that 3d show. That little flying animal was sick.
Captain EO is great!! I swear Michael was such a genius, I miss him more everyday.
***RIP MICHAEL JACKSON**
if they bring Captain EO back I will make another trip to D-Land !
I have missed that attraction.
OMG, he looks SO HOT in this pix! WOW! I wish he didn't change that look!
For those who have never seen or heard of "Captain Eo" before, it is up on You Tube. Look it up!!! I only wish Michael had re-recorded his brother Jermaine's song, "Planet Of The Ant Men". It would have made a nice sequel to Captain Eo–although Jermaine's song was actually, pre-Eo by a year, or two.
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – because there was a lack of evidence, and he was aquitted, your dillusional if you think he was even capable of it, he was a child himself.
Re: bongo – Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – i don't know why you two even bother to continue harassing someone who isn't even alive. your wasting your fucking time.
This just litterally almost made me cry! I LOVED Captain EO when I was a kid! I was so sad they put that stupid shrunken kids crap in!!! Now I have to plan a D-Land trip!
I remember this from when I was 4 or 5…. The show scared the shit out of me but I'd definitely love to see it again!
I AM!!!!!!!!!!!
i had the greatest EO cap ever…with lights…I cant believe i dont have any pictures of it…I hope they bring back the merchandise too…
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
That's cool yet strange considering Frank Cappola is Nic Cage's uncle considering Nic & Michael both having had been married to Lisa Marie Presley!
awesome! Yes go for it
HELL YES!! I was one of the ones to sign the petition after his death. It's the perfect tribute… and I never got to see it at the Epcot Center.
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – Why do people ignore the fact that he was found guilty because the family were extortionist- even tried to screw over George Lopez!! The kid even admitted it months later! Maybe you didn't get the memo. Stop slandering his name. Don't be so wreckless and ignorant.
Re: DancingVet – No no no, The first victim NEVER recanted his story. That was posted on one blog. It's a MYTH. Come up with a credible source.
Re: druppelstop – Okay well when I'm 50 years old I will "share my bed" with 10 year olds who aren't related to me. Then lock the doors so no one will get in. After all it's the most "loving thing you can do" If it were any other man other than MJ they would be in JAIL!
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – there were two the acussers not three. and though i don't know if he is guilty or not. why nobody sued the parents who allowed the boy to sleep with michael. and why even if he was aquited of all charges. people still wants to think negative things about him. and also why other celebrities like wody allen or roman polanski people don't say nothing bad about them, but people and the media went so mean with mike. i think that's unfair
I can't fucking wait that was appart of my childhood that I thought was gone forever and now my daughter can enjoy it like I did I cant wait
haha yay
he was so cute.
finally. This was my favorite part of Disneyland since I was a kid. I loved it. I was pissed it was replaced by "honey i shrunk the audience", what a joke. I can't wait.
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock –
how many times are people going to use that same ridiculous argument his insurance company paid the settlement…he had no choice. and, in the fine print of the settlement, he admits to NO wrong doing…AND it was a civil settlement! meaning, the family of REAL wackos could have then attempted to charge him in criminal court, but were to stupid to know what they were doing, and just took the money and ran. the father was a criminal, and the whole thing was his sick idea.
michael wanted to fight, and the case wouldn't have even made it to court if he tried to, because it was BS
innocent. end of story. get your facts straight.
GOD im SICK of hearing about Michael jackson.. I was sick of hearing about him when he was alive, and even more so now that he is gone.. come ON.. this is fuckin' ridiculous…
Oh that's just GREAT, put the peado BACK IN disney!
I hope to god they dont do this.
Well I'll be damned! Michael Jackson will still be giving young boys a ride, even after death!
Yes, now I have a reason to get an annual pass at Disneyland!!!
Yes, I will be taking my kids to see it when we go after the holidays.
Captain EO?? How bout Captain..Uhhh..NO! MJ's music is awesome, but his personal life was screwy as hell. He was one sick puppy!
CAPTIAN EO WAS AWESOME!! Loved it back in the day. Bring on the 3D glasses!
I was all for what Rasputin's Liver posted until he put the "trailer trash" term in the mix! Some of the classiest people I know live in PRE-FABRICATED HOMES! And what about the displaced Katrina victims? Ones who lost EVERYTHING and are now living in a PRE-FAB HOME?
I guess if you, Rasputin, are going to lump all of us into the same category as the D-Listers, I am going to have to consider you persona non grata!(do YOU know big words such as the one prior to the parenthesis?).
I work HARD to be the trailer trash that I am, I suppose. At least I dont RENT or LEASE my home. It is bought and paid for and the value of it, according to our real estate attorney, is 82,000!And I am not even 50 yet! Ignorance may be your problem, but I would venture to wager your REAL problem is STUPIDITY! Do you even KNOW the difference of the two? I certainly dont figure you do!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Re: kassie_lee – If there was absolutely no evidence (which there was) why would he pay over 25 million to shut the boy up? I just dont think all of those kids saying they were molested was a coincidence. What he did was evil.
Re: davamaba – No the first time there were actually two boys he paid off to shut them up. Then there multiple people who testified the second trial who said they had been molested by him when they were boys.
HELLLLLLL YAHHHH,OMG MICAHEL LOOOKED SOOOOO FINE ON THAT..OMG..ITS ABOUT TIME,I WISH THEY KEPT IT THERE ANYWAYS.GEEZ.
*MICHAEL.GOT TOO EXCITED THERE.HAHA
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – will you please shut your face…FUTHERMORE BITCH MADONNA LOVES MICHAEL JACKSON,SHE CRIED AND CRIED AND WOULDNT STOP WHEN SHE FOUNDED OUT HE DIED..HELLO,IM A FAN OF MADONNA AND MICHAEL,AND YOUR A PATHETIC TROLL.JUST STFU.
Re: blubabiecutie – But she doesn't like child molesters no one does. She payed tribute to his TALENT not his twisted personal life.
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – no there were two because the third kid jason francia admitted that he was lying her mother actually admitted it. and her mother blanca says she saw a wrong behaviour between jackson and macaulay and rob , but mac and rob went to the trial and say nothing happened
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – If there was absolutely no evidence (which there was) why would he pay over 25 million to shut the boy up? I just dont think all of those kids saying they were molested was a coincidence. What he did was evil.
but if my kid was molested i would fight for justice and ask the molester to go to jail, not money. have you ever think about that
Re: davamaba – No he NEVER admitted he was lying that is a MYTH. It was posted on one blog on the internet not a credible source. 12 year old boys do not lie for money. Doesnt make sense
Re: davamaba – Yes I have thought about that. BUT the boy identified his private parts…there also MANY other people who did not bring MJ to court that said Michael had molested them I mean get real…So to you all these kids told " a big lie"?
i just wish they had done all of these things when he still was with us here.. but the film is great! so thumbs up for disney afterall
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – study the case. the insurance company paid 15 million to the family… Michael never paid and THANK GOD FOR THAT!! the kid seeked for legal emanicaption at age 14 and MOVED THE FUCK out from his house.. he didnt wanna be around his abusive home. he has sued his dad twice these past 6 years…
Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – HAHA.. you are an IDIOT! There have been endless of reports of how kids have lied about these things, puished by their parents. there are evidence and many cases! you dont know a shitt about MJ.. what you know is that he was accused.. SO? I can accuse you too if I want… yes, he had a very "unusual" lifestyle.. does that make him a criminal? NO! What about Madonna fucking a 22 years old boy? I guess you support that and what about Madonna being all whorish when she became an artist. Madonna rose to fame being controversial by her lyrics and stageacts- nothing more.
In 2005 details about his 1993 settlement leaked. Remember, the boy REFUSED to testify, thats why a settlement happened in the first case. The leaked settlement document in 2005 reveals several interesting facts:
1) Michael Jackson denied any wrongdoing.
2) The boy and his parents could have still testified against Jackson in the criminal trial.
3) Jackson only settled over claims of negligence and not over claims of child molestation.
In cases where a negligence charge is bought before a defendent, it's common for insurance agencies representing stars to have an "out" in their contract that allows them to settle a case contrary to their client's, Michael Jackson's—wishes. Michaels insurance company had legal control over the decision. They over rode Michaels decision and they arranged and paid the settlement. Michael never paid a nickle.
Because of double jeopardy, anyone accused of a crime will never have to defend themselves for the same allegation twice unless one trial takes place in civil court and the other in criminal court. This was the situation with Michael Jackson in 1993.
What people also dont realize is that when Jackson paid his settlement, he was settling a civil case not a criminal case; he was not being prosecuted, he was being sued.
Part4. There is a clause in the settlement which states that MJ in no way acknowledges any wrongdoing by signing the settlement. Another clause tells that a settlement in the civil case in no way affects the recipients right to testify in a criminal case. The reason no criminal case was brought in 1993 was that the allegations were pathetic and the D.A TOM SNEDDON had no proof. The D.A presented his case to TWO grand juries and they tossed the case out! There were no proof at all.
The settlement did NOT end the investigation. The Chandlers have had the chances to TESTIFY all along, but have refused everytime. Jordy refused to show up in 2005 to testify despite the prosecution begged him. Acoording to some reports, MJ's defence attorney had FRIENDS of Jordy who were going to testify that Jordy told them that his parents forced him to lie.
According to private detective Anthony Pellicano, Jordy Chandler told him "My dad only wants cash". His dad was tape-recorded saying that all of this is irrelevant if it helps his kids and that he is going to destroy MJ. The boy never accused MJ of any wrong-doing before he was forced into it by his father. Remember that the mother called this allegations against MJ bs. The kid coulnt either recall details about where and when it had happened, he only said WHAT had happened. MJs defence attoreny had FRIENDS of the boy who were willing to testify that the boy had told them it was all a lie. An assistant to the kids lawyer (she was an inside with first hand information) has said it was a lie/a set-up.

The kid coulnt either recall details about where and when it had happened, he only said WHAT had happened. The insurance company paid out 15 million. 5 million went to his greedy lawyer. 3 million went to his parents and the kid got around 7 million. His father didn’t like that so he sued MJ once again for 60 million dollars. The dad LOST his suit. And then the boy hasn't spoken to his parents since that time. The kid seeked for legal emanicapation at age 14-15 from his parents and got it .His mom testified in 2005 saying she has not spoken to her son for 11 years. Over the past five years, the boy has sued his dad twice. One time his dad tried to get his money, the other time in 2006, the boy claimed his dad tried to kill him. His dad tried to choke him and struck his son's head with a dumbbell weight. And at that time he asked a LA court to open his file about a case in LA (presumably the MJ case) but his father found out and COUNTERSUED HIM for a breach of contract because there were an agreement that forbade them to talk about this publicly
