What a fun show! You cant beat sci-fi, plus Michael Jackson, and all in 3-D. All i got to say is r.i.p Michael and Captain EO.

I miss this one. I remember hopping parks in my teenage years to see this one more time. Might be dated now - but would like to see it again ;(

"I liked it. The music was good, and it was for all ages."

This is/was my favorite Disney 3-D movie so far and was definitely their most imaginative and expensive one to date. Michael Jackson starred as the heroic leader, Captain Eo. On a mission to find the Supreme Leader they crash land on her planet accidentally only to find the planet's been turned into a wasteland. As captives, the band of freedom fighters use music and dance to overcome the Evil Queen and end up converting her and the planet's people back to good.

Yes, it all sounds kind of simple and almost hokey, but the movie was a really great action-packed adventure. The music and sound were loud and crisp and the visuals were on an epic scale. The combination of Lucas (produced and wrote) and Coppola (scripted and directed) made it a real quality show. The characters were cool, too. The little furry creature, the twin-headed muppet Idee, Hooter the blue elephant and the Blue robot dude, Major Domo.

Contrary to what many people think, the attraction was not removed due to Jackson's legal troubles. In fact, the Paris and Tokyo versions were still around in the late 90's;and even California's didn't close until 1996.

Anyways, Honey, I Shrunk the Audience is a somewhat mediocre replacement for what Cpt Eo was. I will always have fond memories of Captain Eo. I still remember walking in EPCOT's Future World East and actually being able to hear the bass from the last song, 'Another Part Of Me', rumbling from far away as the show ended.

Hooter, btw, was played by Tony Cox, the same black dwarf actor who was hilarious in Me, Myself & Irene as the limo driver and more recently in Bad Santa as Santa's helper!

"Magical 3D show!!!"

I love this show at Journey Into Imagination!!! It was replaced by Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, but it looks really cool. I love the magical 3D glasses because they're good to wear them. I like the heroes & the villains the best at the Magic Eye Theater.

"BYE BYE"

I was not a true Captain EO fan, but the two times I saw the 3-D film, it was pretty fun! The 3-D effects were out of this world (literally) and the music wasn't exactly my style, but it wasn't a bad EPCOT Center attractin at all.
