Captain EO

Into The Disneyverse:

Welcome to the Cosmos, a universe of good and evil. Join Jess, Tandy, and a rag-tag space crew led by the infamous Captain EO, as they explore this 3D spectacular, complete with lasers, fog, and crotch gyrations.

Show Notes:

• The movie is about a small ragtag space crew led by Michael Jackson’s, Captain EO, as they set out to bring the Supreme Leader, played by Angelica Huston, the gift of song to bring light back to her world. If you've never seen Captain EO, you're in for a treat. Pop some popcorn, park it on the couch, and watch it here.
• Everyone and their brother-in-law worked on this production, and if you'd like to see just how this film was made, you can watch it here.
• For a time, this movie was the most costly movie made at $1-2 million dollars per minute.
• Jess said Steven Speilberg won an Oscar for The Color Purple. While the film was nominated, it lost to Out of Africa.

Our thoughts on Captain EO:

We loved this growing up as children, and were sad to see it turn into Honey I Shrunk the Audience. While Tandy got to see it in EPCOT during the Captain EO Tribute, Jess has had to rewatch on Youtube. Disney should consider merchandising for the die-hard fans.
