It was a must see in 3-D at the park back in the good ol’ days at his height and the Star Wars era . It played in Tomorrow Land next to Space Mountain. He also worked with Steven Spielberg on an E.T. Audio story book. At his peak I don’t think they’re will ever be a star as big. It was an honor to live through it, thanks MJ
Yes, I remember that! I was fortunate to have experienced it, as just a small kid. I wasn't able to absorb it quite the same way as I would as a teen or whatever, but I knew he was making history, the biggest thing, and my favorite artist. Still one of them no doubt. I have a vague recollection of this movie, that was the last time I saw it actually. I was so inspired by him him, thinking 'I wanna do that onw day', and now here I am making music myself...very cool
Captain EO heee heee. Yeah this was awesome. I was a big Micheal Jackson fan growing up and soon as we found out he had a 3-D movie at Disneyland we were there lol. In 86 when it came out I was 10. What a treat at that age to see it. 3D was great sound was off the hook. Great memory for sure.
When I was a child, I had the Michael Jackson movies in VHS. I loved them so much that I used to watch them on repeat. Watching this brought me back to a childhood full of good memories; I felt transported back to the 90s. Thank you.
First time I got to see this because I don’t hangout at Disney. What a piece of garbage even if it was made for kids. Horrible effects, BAD acting. Terrible writing. Struggled getting thru this piece of crap.
@@kaztouch1 So sad to bad. It was the best we had in surround sound 3D theater! I did it 3 times the one day I was there. Kinda kiddies corny for sure with great sound an a big curved screen. It was an entertainment attraction to suite all ages of children. The song is the heart of it all for me. 🤗
@@kaztouch1 😂😁 Same here, I saw all MJ videos and movies, except for this as it was only played at Disney land. I was so sad. Now I realized that I didn't miss much.
@@kaztouch180's 3D What did you expect? A short movie made for the Disney theme park. Don't hate. It may be corny and outdated but as a little kid in that era I'm sure it was awesome. I seem to remember it being shut down for some reason when I went to Disneyland, but it was 100% the biggest reason I wanted to go.
I have always wanted to see this as a kid but we couldn’t afford Disney now as an adult and finally being able to have the means to go…Captain EO was no longer showing😢 Thank you so much for posting this. I finally got the chance to fulfill one of my childhood dreams and watch this. No crowds and in the comforts of my home❤❤🎉
I am a Michael Jackson Fan but had not visited Disneyland since Grad Night 1983, so I don't think this film-short had been made yet. Nevertheless, I absolutely loved it. It started out a bit corny, but when Michael got to dancing, the shivers and goosebumps hit me and I was reminded of why he was the King of Pop such as he was. Thank you Fame Focus for bringing this to us in the hour of need. Please bring more vault delights of MJ again soon. The world will love you for it. - Peace
If anyone wants to know the REAL name of this movie/show. It's called Captain EO. It was a Co-Production between Lucas Films and Walt Disney in collaboration with Walt Disney Imagineering. Captain EO is a 1986 American 3D science fiction short film shown at Disney theme parks from 1986 until 1998. The film, starring Michael Jackson, was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The film was shown as part of an attraction with in-theater effects. The attraction returned to the Disney Parks in 2010 as a tribute after Jackson's death. The film was shown for the final time at Epcot on December 6, 2015.
WTF - i thought that this was a joke but NOOO this really IS Michael Jackson IN SPACE and Who knew😮😮😮 thank you for uploading this -it really made me smile😀👍
This was Captain EO. Star Tours took it's place. I remember riding the "ride" when I was a kid. It was also the first time I heard the song "Another Part of Me"

during the summer this was the best place to cool off at Disney, 20 minutes of free AC during this show , watched it 3 times in a row once as there was no line to get back in. Was in 3-D too
@@rasslinreads5666 Yeah I know Tim is racist. He did the same thing to the Wayne's brother who was cast as Robin by the studio.

Captain EO. A collaboration between George Lucas, Michael Jackson, and Francis Ford Coppola. A timeless classic! Disney would do well to bring this back.
Still have the shirt and the DVD that was sold after his death when they brought it back to Disneyland for a limited time. This was a very popular and big deal when it was at the parks.
Captain EO was popular when I went to Disney as a kid. It was either 1986 or 88. My parents paid like $30 for a stuffed animal of that flying butterfly-monkey thing. There was a movie and a ride.
Epcot. The only reason I remember is because it was Captain EO, Spaceship Earth, the UnderSea stuff and that purple dinosaur dragon thing called Figment. And everything else sucked but I had to go to Epcot 3 times and I hated it all except those things I mentioned. 😂
Obviously, this was the inspiration for Star Trek TNG's Borg villains. You can see it all from the costume design to the hive-based facility. Also, the queen and her drones who are assimilated people. I am 100 percent sure someone working on TNG saw Captain EO.
Imagine being 6 years old. You're at Disneyland. You put your glasses on. And this.... It's a memory I cherish. I did go see Honey I Shrunk the Audience after. Was ok.

Dude, is this actually real? Or is this just some masterful cg deepfakes? I'd really want to know! Edit: Just looked it up, and it is real. I never even knew this existed. Well, you learn something new everyday. Thanks for uploading.
Seriously, you thought this was AI or deep fake? Dude, AI is so terrible that you could only tell it’s fake. This is Michael Jackson. This was way before any of that AI crap. 😒
Rare? It's only one of the most viewed (short) movies ever considering it's daily plays over many years at all the Disney Parks. But congrats on the clever title. Getting all the MJ and SW fans to click? Bravo.
Well, considering from the outside of the US, it's kinda rare. I'm in se Asia and have heard its news since it came out to the park, but I had never seen the film until now. Can't stand MJ anyway. (but his songs are good)
Im sorry but trying to look tough and dancing just makes me imagine someone walking up mid woohoo and them getting knocked out. "Wait...but I had the power of dance?" Now that would be a cool scene!😂
This is only rare to people born after 1989, Gen X knows all about Captain EO. I remember being outside playing and some told us it was coming on TV and everyone ran in the house, no DVRs and VCRs didn't record that well!! 😅 You had to be in that era to relate!
What's great about this is-. Now when people ask who is your favorite Star Wars character. You can say- Michael Jackson.😆 And you can call out any snide Uber fan of the franchise out for not knowing about this.
Captain EO was cool it was in real good 3D and had real lasers that shot out all over the theater. But it got old and worn out so they replaced it with Star Tours.
@@rasslinreads5666 Nice edit to your comment. Now it works. I've no doubt a lot of MJ fans see him in Depp's performance. I did too. Doesn't mean it was ever really on though.
Forget what Siskel & Ebert always said; just because something is sci-fi, that doesn't make it _Star Wars._ Those two forgot that the genre existed before SW.
Well, Captain EO is from 1986 and the Borg of Star Trek will first appear 1989 in 'Q Who?'. You can clearly see where they probably got some inspiration for the looks from (the Borg Queen, the Borg alcoves etc.). Maybe Rick Sternbach was a fan EPCOT?
This is much more entertaining than the Disney+ show "The Acolyte". The King of Pop was ahead of his time.
Everyone who’s a Michael Jackson fan know about Captain EO. It was played at Disney. Rest In Peace king of pop!! 👑
I saw it at Disney ❤
I saw it there, it was in 3d
Dam Captain EO is Over Power , dude just electrocuted robots turn them into humans , wtf is going on here ? 😅
I'm sure MJ's victims love to see this. Ah, memories.

Yeah, me too , though I was having a Mandela Effect, into I read the comments only kids who went to Disney seen this movie in the 80s 😅
My favourite 1986 content :)
This was Captain EO. Star Tours took it's place. I remember riding the "ride" when I was a kid. It was also the first time I heard the song "Another Part of Me"
It's not a "Star Wars movie". This was "Captain EO", one of the first 3D actractions at Disneyland, back in the days.

Don’t be so literal all the time
Well it's more like Star Wars than the nonsense Disney is spewing out now.
Didn't you see George Lucas in the credits? Is this where TNG got the Borg from?
No 1 here getting a Mandela Effect ? This is str8 outta a parallel universe 😮
First time watching Capt. EO with Michael Jackson and looks like some puppets are George Lucus and Jim Henson.
Rare star wars movie? Captain Eo was very popular at Epcot in Orlando and Disneyland in California
It's happened in France in the 2010
The rest of the world missed this musical gem
So was this a none canon "Star Wars" or an original short film ?
@joezar33 It was an original collaboration between MJ and George Lucas for a 3D show at Disneyland. No direct connection to Star Wars.
I remember seeing this in 3D in Disney as a kid.
Imagine Michael Jackson in the Star Wars Movies that would be the best thing ever
I understand he wanted to play Jar-Jar, but didn't get the part.
Dodged a bullet there.
@@toddkurzbard who dodged the bullet
This is Captain EO, nothing about this is rare. This was and still is EPIC!
I like the title, it really is a forgotten Star Wars story. Michael Jackson did such a great job with this. 💕💗
*Saw that at DisneyWorld in Florida...in 3D!*
during the summer this was the best place to cool off at Disney, 20 minutes of free AC during this show , watched it 3 times in a row once as there was no line to get back in. Was in 3-D too
"Captain EO"? Why didn't I know? Why did noone ever told me? Mother? Father? You have failed.

Omg your comment made my day I was dying laughing
Awesome 😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, RIP MICHAEL 🙏

Captain Eo looks pretty stud here, but in 3D at Disney World, I remember really enjoying it. But I think that was back in 1988 when I saw it
THIS movie was so AMAZING when viewed in the Disney theatre!
Dude, this show and performance by Michael stomps the acolyte into the ground
Captain EO was the best. I wish they would show it at Disneyland again.
Wish they had Mike play Lando in star wars
He auditioned for Edward scissorhands but Tim Burton wouldn't even take his call
@@rasslinreads5666
Yeah I know Tim is racist.
He did the same thing to the Wayne's brother who was cast as Robin by the studio. Tim didn't want an African American actor to play Robin so they fired him.
He allso said he didn't hire Mike for Edward because he couldn't relate and wanted some one with a similar white trash background when Tim isn't even Caucasian and Mike grew up pore.
Hell nah , Billy D Williams is the man 😅 tho this would have been awesome . If it was supposed to be a part of the Star Wars universe
@@joezar33
He is but only because of star wars do most people know him. If it was Mike then he would be even more the man..
@@rasslinreads5666 no tim burton wanted Michael for the part but fox said no due to Michael' star power potentially over shadowing the film
Captain EO. A collaboration between George Lucas, Michael Jackson, and Francis Ford Coppola. A timeless classic!
Disney would do well to bring this back.
I saw this just that one time like back in about 1992 or so.
Saw it many times. Still gets me at the end.

The dance scene was the prequel of ,,Bad" video and suspended cable Queen,was inspiration for Borg Queen after years from Star Trek.
I remember seeing this at Disney as a kid. Was so cool
It should be named star trek. It looks more like michal jackson vs the borg.
Oh the Borg Queen in First Contact was totally ripped from this. I find that pretty cool.
I love captain EO! This is amazing. I love this man so much
Michael forever ❤️
I remeber seeing this years ago in 3D at Disneyland. It was awesome!!!!

This is not Stars' wars ,mj captain eo filmed was made in 1985- 86 ,George lucas was involved
True. You can see Lucas' influence from Lando Calrissian and the later EP 3 Anakin Skywalker on MJ's character Captain EO. Hence the similarities.
@user-nr2ys2sh7n Yeah episode 3 Anakin did remind me of Mike 😅
lucky i seen this at disneyland paris 1997.wonderfull to see again
