One month ago i announced to you that Captain EO was coming back for sure at Disneyland and today it's official, EO will be back at DL next February - just one month later than what i previously told you. Apparently the huge success of the excellent "This is it" documentary - 220 Milion $ worldwide in the first two weeks had some effects on the WDC. Hope that they will put it back too at Epcot and that DLP executives will also have the intelligence to put back Captain EO at Paris Magic Kingdom as "Honey I Schrunk the Audience", just like everywhere, is not popular any more.
The good news about this come back of Captain Eo is that 3D effects should be enhanced and Imagineers will probably use the "moving floor" effect from "Honey, I Schrunk the Audience" during some scenes of Captain Eo - like when his ship crashes on the planet, for instance.
Watch for Al Lutz next update on Miceage - may be later today - as i won't be surprised if Al, who was the first to reveal the comeback of Captain Eo, had more details about it. Al in one of his previous update also revealed that Disney intend to keep Captain Eo at DL during four months after what the show should be replaced by "Monsters Inc Laugh Floor" - that's the bad news part of the story - a news which has infuriated Disneyland fans as nobody seems to be a big fan of that show that opened this year at WDW Magic Kingdom. And of course it will also mean the end of 3D movies at DL Tomorrowland Theatre...
In the meantime you can watch without the 3D effects the full Captain Eo movie on these Youtube videos below.

Je trouve ça limite quand même...
Faut pas oublier que Disney a supprimé les films des parcs suite aux problèmes de pédophilie du chanteur et maintenant qu'il est mort "le plus grand de tous les temps revient à Disneyland...".
En plus, personnellement le film a vraiment pris un coup de vieux, ct vraiment génial à l'époque en 86 mais plus en 2010...
C vraiment frustrant, les nouveautés DIsney dans les parcs en 2009-2010, "It's a Small world" à Hong Kong et le retour de EO ??? "Heal the (magic) world" comme dirait MJ !
