(Probably because Michael died…)
Full story HERE.
In any event, this is very cool.
For the young people who may not remember this classic video, Disneyland/Disneyworld had a 17-minute 3-D video attraction called Captain Eo, co-produced by film legend George Lucas (of Star Wars fame), directed by Academy Award-winner Francis Ford Coppola and starring Michael Jackson.
It ran in both theme parks from 1986 to 1994. The music/choreography is vintage Jackson, although only one of the songs, Another Part of Me was ever released for sale. Most people, (including Mo’Kelly) thought that the main song, We Are Here to Change the World was by far the better song.
Unfortunately, young people may not remember Jackson at his height and didn’t have the opportunity to appreciate him at his best. He was a consummate singer, dancer…a complete entertainer. So for you young people, enjoy Captain Eo as I and most of my generation did…but in only 2-d this time.
And for the old-heads like Mo’Kelly…remember when…
