Jackson set for Disneyland return
Michael Jackson’s ’Captain EO’ is moonwalking back to Disneyland.
The theme park has announced plans to bring back the 3-D sci-fi film starring the king of pop in February, over 23 years after the attraction debuted in California.
The 17-minute film starred Jackson – who died in June – as a singing-and-dancing intergalactic commander.
It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and executive produced by George Lucas.
In the film, Jackson leads a goofy alien and robot crew as they battle a wicked queen played by Anjelica Huston.
Captain EO originally opened in Disneyland’s Tommorrowland in 1986 and ran for more than a decade.
Identical versions later opened at other Disney theme parks. They were all closed by 1998.
