I have no idea why I keep posting updates about attractions from Epcot. I have no idea.

Captain EO (alternately, Captain Eo) is a 1986 3-D film which is shown at Epcot, Disneyland Park, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris.
The film stars Michael Jackson as the titular hero. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, executive-produced by George Lucas, photographed by Vittorio Storaro, produced by Rusty Lemorande, and written by Lemorande, Lucas, and Coppola. The score was written by James Horner, and featured two songs ("We Are Here to Change the World" and "Another Part of Me") by Michael Jackson. The Supreme Leader was played by Anjelica Huston.

The attraction opened on September 12, 1986 in the Future World land at Epcot. The attraction was then closed on July 6, 1994 to make way for the Honey, I Shrunk the Audience attraction. Captain EO then returned on July 2, 2010 replacing Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.

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.
I remember the day Michael Jackson died very well. My mom, sibling and I was at a tiny store next to one of my mom's jobs when my mom got a phone call. I don't remember who called her but then I heard her say: "Michael Jackson died?"
Everyone in the store around us: "What?" *Makes phone calls.
To be honest, I thought he was already dead and when I did see what he looked like, I thought he was girl. Give me a break, I was kid! I didn't know! D,X
Time for more nostalgia with a wake up call from Disney!
