Highlights on Captain EO

Quote
Captain EO is a 3-D film starring Michael Jackson and directed by Francis Ford Coppola (who came up with the name, "Captain EO", (from the Greek, cf. "Eos", the Greek goddess of dawn) that was shown at Disney theme parks from 1986 through the 1990s. The attraction returned to the Disney theme parks in 2010.

The film's executive producer was George Lucas. The film was choreographed by Jeffrey Hornaday and Michael Jackson, photographed by Peter Anderson, produced by Rusty Lemorande, and written by Lemorande, Lucas and Coppola, from a story idea by the artists of Walt Disney Imagineering. Lemorande also initially designed and created two of the creatures, and was an uncredited editor of the film. The score was written by James Horner, and featured two songs ("We Are Here to Change the World" and "Another Part of Me"), both written and performed by Michael Jackson. The Supreme Leader was played by Anjelica Huston. Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro was the Lighting Director during much of the principal photography. Captain EO is regarded as one of the first "4-D" films (4-D being the name given to a 3-D film which incorporates in-theater effects, such as lasers, smoke, etc., frame synced to the film narrative).[1] This innovation was suggested by producer-writer Lemorande who is, therefore, sometimes referred to as "The Father of 4-D."

The Story
The movie tells the story of Captain EO and the ragtag crew of his spaceship on a mission to deliver a gift to "The Supreme Leader", of a world of rotting, twisted metal and steaming vents. Captain EO's alien crew consists of his small flying sidekick Fuzzball, the double-headed navigator and pilot Idey (Debbie Lee Carrington) and Ody (Cindy Sorenson), robotic security officer Major Domo (Gary Depew), a small robot Minor Domo (who fits like a module into Major Domo), and the clumsy elephant-like shipmate Hooter (Tony Cox) who always manages to upset the crew's missions. Dick Shawn plays Captain EO's boss, Commander Bog.

Upon arriving on the planet, the crew is captured by the henchmen of the Supreme Leader, and brought before her. She sentences the crew to be turned into trash cans, and Captain EO to 100 years of torture in her deepest, darkest dungeon. Before being sent away, Captain EO tells the Supreme Leader that he sees the beauty hidden within her, and that he brings her the key to unlock it: his song, "We Are Here To Change The World".

The two robot members of the crew transform into musical instruments and the crew members begin to play the various instruments. As Hooter runs toward his instrument, he trips over EO's cape and breaks it, stopping the music. The spell broken, the Supreme Leader orders her guards to capture Captain EO and his crew.

Hooter manages to repair his instrument and sends out a blast of music, providing EO with the power to throw off the guards. He uses his power to transform the dark hulking guards into agile dancers who fall into step behind him for a dance number. As EO presses forward toward the Supreme Leader she unleashes her Whip Warriors, two cybernetic defenders each with a whip and shield that can deflect EO's power.

The others all run away leaving Captain EO to fight the Whip Warriors alone. EO is trapped by a closing gate and is preparing for a last stand as both the whip warriors draw their whips back for a final blow. Fuzzball drops his instrument and speedily flies over to tie the two whips together, causing the Whip Warriors to be thrown off balance giving EO an opportunity to transform them as well. With no further obstacles, EO uses his power to transform the Supreme Leader into a beautiful woman, her lair into a peaceful Greek temple and the planet into a verdant paradise.

A celebration breaks out to "Another Part of Me", as EO and his crew triumphantly exit and fly off into space.

Popularity & Return
After the death of Michael Jackson on June 25, 2009, Captain EO regained popularity on the Internet. For several years, a small group of fans had petitioned Disney to bring back the attraction and Jackson's death had brought this campaign to a peak. Soon afterward, Disney officials were seen in Disneyland at the Magic Eye Theater and reportedly held a private screening of Captain EO to determine if it could be shown again. It was rumored that Disneyland would announce the return of the attraction at Disneyland in September.[citation needed] However, on September 10, Disney CEO Bob Iger said, "There aren’t plans to bring back Captain EO at this time ... We are looking at it. It’s the kind of thing that, if we did it, would get a fair amount of attention and we’d want to make sure we do it right."[6]

On December 18, 2009, it was announced that Captain EO would return to Tomorrowland at Disneyland beginning in February 2010. Social and Print Media Manager Heather Hust Rivera from Disneyland Resorts confirmed this on the DisneyParks Blog and stated that Honey, I Shrunk the Audience! would be closing. The attraction hosted its final public showing in the Magic Eye Theater at midnight on January 4, 2010 to make way for the Michael Jackson film's return.

The attraction, now entitled Captain EO Tribute, re-opened at Disneyland Park on February 23, 2010.[7] The attraction returned to Discoveryland at Disneyland Park (Paris) on June 12, 2010, returned to Epcot at Walt Disney World on July 2[8] and to Tokyo Disneyland on July 1. The attraction in fact returned to Epcot for a "soft opening" (actual opening to the public prior to the official opening) on June 30, 2010, two days prior to its official re-opening.

Highlights on Moonwalker

Quote
The release of Moonwalker was originally scheduled to coincide with Jackson's 1987 album, Bad. During the theatrical release of Moonwalker, Jackson was also embarking on the Bad World Tour, his first tour as a solo performer. The film was released theatrically in Europe and South America, but Warner Brothers canceled plans for a Christmas 1988 theatrical release in the U.S. Moonwalker was released on home video in the United States and Canada on January 10, 1989, just as the Bad World Tour finished. (His tour was supposed to finish sooner, but had been postponed due to some vocal strain, so it went on until the last week of January 1989.) The video had sold more than 800,000 copies in the U.S by April 17, 1989.

Plot
The film consists of a collage of short stories, concert footage and music videos rather than being one continuous storyline. Each of the segments is described in the separate sub-sections below. However, there are two music videos within the film. They are "Bad" and "Leave Me Alone". In addition to these, there are two short films which are "Speed Demon" and "Smooth Criminal". The music involved is partly Michael Jackson's, as well as a film score conducted by Bruce Broughton throughout some of the segments.
The opening image of the movie, a pair of feet, went on to become the logo for MJJ Productions Inc, and The Michael Jackson Company, LLC.

Man in the Mirror
A live performance of Jackson's song "Man in the Mirror" acts as the opening music to the film. This short segment features a montage of clips of children from Africa as well as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., John Lennon and other historical figures.

Retrospective
A short biographical film about Jackson, covering the early years from the Jackson 5 until the Bad World Tour. Excerpts of the following songs are played:

    * "Music and Me"
    * "I Want You Back"
    * "ABC"
    * "The Love You Save"
    * "2-4-6-8"
    * "Who's Lovin' You"
    * "Ben"
    * "Dancing Machine"
    * "Blame It on the Boogie"
    * "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)"
    * "Rock with You"
    * "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough"
    * "Can You Feel It"
    * "Human Nature"
    * "Beat It"
    * "Thriller"
    * "Billie Jean"
    * "State of Shock"
    * "We Are the World"
    * "The Way You Make Me Feel"
    * "Dirty Diana"

Badder
A parody of the music video for Bad's title song, featuring children filling the roles of various people from the original clip.

The video stars Brandon Quintin Adams, who would later star in The Mighty Ducks, as the young Michael Jackson. It also featured Jermaine La Jaune Jackson, Jr. (Michael's nephew) and a young Nikki Cox, who later starred in Unhappily Ever After and Las Vegas. The singing group The Boys appeared as background dancers. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog co-writer Maurissa Tancharoen, as well as future R&B star Bilal Oliver, are also featured in this segment.

Speed Demon
The fourth segment begins with the "Badder" short film transitioning into the second short film, "Speed Demon", directed by Claymation innovator Will Vinton. A portion of the clip is set to Jackson's song "Speed Demon".

After filming "Badder", Little Michael and his bodyguards (also children) are leaving the set and walk through a cloud of smoke and come out as a adults. A boy and his grandmother spot Michael and prompts the other fans to chase him for an autograph. In an attempt to avoid the overzealous fans (even The Noid), Jackson soon disguises himself as a rabbit, but ends up taunting the fans into chasing him once they realize it's him. During the chase, he morphs into other celebrities, namely Sylvester Stallone, Tina Turner and Pee-Wee Herman. After a long chase, the fans are finally pulled over by a cop and are arrested. After finally losing the fans, he pulls over and removes the costume, which comes to life and challenges him to a dance-off.

In the end, a traffic cop tells him he is in a "No Dancing Zone", and when Michael turns to point to the rabbit, he sees that the rabbit has disappeared. The cop then sarcastically asks for Michael's autograph (as opposed to "signature") on the ticket. Just as Michael is preparing to leave, the rabbit's head materialises in a nearby rocky crag. The rabbit then nods to him and smiles.

Leave Me Alone
The fifth segment of the film is the animated music video for the song "Leave Me Alone", focusing on media interest in Jackson's personal life, because he had felt that people wouldn't leave him alone, no matter what he did to prove his innocence. His beloved then pet chimp Bubbles makes a cameo appearance as Jackson is seen picking him up and riding with him in his spaceship.

The video for the song won a Grammy in 1989 for Breakthrough Animated Video, the only Grammy Award Michael received for the album Bad.

Smooth Criminal
The segment begins with three homeless children (Sean, Katie and Zeke) sneaking through a big city to see their friend Michael walk out of his apartment. As Michael stands in front of the door, he gazes at the night sky before he is attacked by mobsters with machine guns. The film then backtracks to show Michael and the children playing in a meadow in happier times. Their dog Skipper runs away, and as Michael and Katie look for him, they uncover the lair of Mr. Big (Joe Pesci). Mr. Big – whose real name is Frankie LiDeo, similar to Frank DiLeo – is a drug-dealing mobster with a disciplined private army at his command. He wants to get the entire population of Earth addicted to drugs, starting with children. He likes to eat nuts and leaves nutshells wherever he goes. He is obsessed with spiders, as displayed by their abundance at the entrance to his lair, and by the way he called his operation "bugs and drugs". He also has them engulfing a model globe when making a speech about his burgeoning drug empire. They signify the spread of his proposed control of the world via drug dealing. Further, all his henchmen sport a spider crest on their uniforms. Katie screams when she sees a spider, and Mr. Big discovers them spying on his operation.

The story returns to the shooting in front of Michael's store. Unknown to the gangsters, Michael has a lucky star, and using it, he escaped the gunfire. Upon realizing that Michael has escaped again, Mr. Big orders his henchmen to track him down with dogs. He is eventually cornered in an alley, where he uses his lucky star again to turn into a sportscar (the 1970 Lancia Stratos prototype) that mows down several of Mr. Big's henchmen. Michael is pursued through the city streets until he loses the henchmen. Meanwhile, the children scout out Club 30's, where Michael had told them to meet him, and find only an abandoned and haunted nightclub. As Michael arrives, Katie sees a silhouette of him turning back from a car into himself. The door of the club opens with a gust of wind, and Michael walks in to find it filled with zoot suiters and swing dancers. The children gather outside a window of the club and watch Michael dance to "Smooth Criminal."

The song used in the film is much longer than the album release, with several lyrics that clarify the story. There is also an interlude where Jackson joins the other dancers in a modern interpretive dance. At the climax of the song, Mr. Big lays siege to the club and kidnaps Katie. Michael follows them back to Big's lair and ends up surrounded by his henchmen. Mr. Big appears and taunts Michael by threatening to inject Katie with highly addictive narcotics. Katie breaks free for a moment, but Mr. Big grabs her again and starts kicking Michael. As Mr. Big stands over Michael and orders his henchmen to kill him and Katie, Michael looks up and sees his lucky star. He transforms into a giant robot and kills all of Mr. Big's soldiers, then turns into a spaceship. Mr. Big gets into a large hillside-mounted energy cannon, firing on the spaceship into a nearby ravine. The children are his next target, but the spaceship returns from the ravine just in time to fire a beam in the cannon with Mr. Big inside, killing him. The children watch the ship fly into the night sky with shower of light.
[edit] Come Together

In the conclusion to Smooth Criminal, Sean, Katie and Zeke return to the city, believing that Michael is gone forever. As the boys talk about Michael, Katie walks away crying and clutching a paper star. As she sits in a corner wishing for him to come back, the paper star flies out of her hand and Michael walks out of the night fog. He takes them to Club 30's, where they find that the club has turned into the backstage area of a concert. Michael's stage crew return the children's missing dog and then escort Michael onto the stage where he performs a cover of The Beatles song "Come Together" by with the children watching and cheering him on from backstage.
Jackson's version of the song wasn't officially released until 1995 when it appeared on the album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I.
[edit] Closing credits

During the closing credits, two more segments are shown. The first has Ladysmith Black Mambazo performing "The Moon is Walking" in Club 30's amidst behind-the-scenes clips. The second is the four-minute version of the "Smooth Criminal" music video.
 

Information on SEGA Game Moonwalker

Moonwalker was developed into an arcade video game by Sega with the help of Jackson, which was released on the Sega System 18 hardware. Home versions of the game were released for Sega's Genesis/Mega Drive and Master System home video game systems, though the gameplay was completely different on home computers such as the Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC, which was a more puzzle based video game, with the view looking down on Michael. The console versions of the game were actually based on an evolved version of the side-scrolling Sega Mega Drive Shinobi series engine, while the arcade version was a three-quarters view shooter/fighter type game. The games involved the player controlling the pop star in a quest to save children (the console version features only "Katie", while the arcade version includes all three children) that had been kidnapped by Mr. Big.

In the three player simultaneous arcade game, contact with Bubbles, Michael's chimp, transformed him into a robot warrior, replacing Michael's "star magic" and melee dance attacks with missiles and laser beams. In the one or two player (taking turns) console versions on certain levels, rescuing a certain child first would trigger a comet to fall from the sky that could be grabbed transforming Michael into the robot (which could fly with a rocket pack as well as use lasers and a missile special attack). Michael automatically changes into a robot for the final showdown with Mr. Big's henchmen and finally into a space ship for the last battle, in a sort of flight-sim shooter in the Genesis/Mega Drive version. All incarnations of the game featured the ability of Michael to use some form of "Dance Magic" which would force his enemies to dance to the music of various tunes from "Bad" or "Thriller" and be destroyed as a result.

Information on Moonwalk

Quote
Moonwalk is an autobiography written by American musician Michael Jackson. The book was first published in February 1988, less than a year after the release of Jackson's Bad album, and named after Jackson's signature dance move, the moonwalk. The book was edited by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and reached number one on the New York Times Best Seller list.

The first manuscript of the book was written by Robert Hilburn, which was refused by the publishers, Doubleday, because it lacked "juicy details".[1] A second manuscript was written by Stephen Davis, which Jackson drastically edited.[1] Jackson finally decided to write the book himself, with help from Shaye Areheart (although there were reports that Areheart later quit after Jackson threw a snake at her).[1] Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis edited the book and wrote a three paragraph introduction.[2]

Due to the public interest in Jackson, Moonwalk was prepared for publication in secret. Relatives of Doubleday employees were hired as couriers, to deliver portions of the book from the company's head office in Manhattan to the printing plant in Fairfield, Pennsylvania.[2] At the printing plant, the book was given the code name "Neil Armstrong", after the first "moonwalker".[2]

I am still researching this theme to draw up any connections to this time period and this adventure. I spotted some interesting information on Epic Records and Tommy Mottola. 1987 seems to be a key year in this. And for fun, 1+9+8+7=25=2+5=7 Oh that sweet number 7.  :lol:

Record Company Info
Quote
Epic Records was launched in 1953 by CBS...

The label's greatest pay-dirt achievement came with the release Thriller, the 1982 album by Michael Jackson, which went on to achieve eighty million in international sales, becoming the biggest selling album in history.

Epic Records is today owned by Sony Music Entertainment. Sony bought CBS Records in 1987 and the company was renamed Sony Music in 1991.

In 1987, Mottola was chosen to run CBS Records at the age of 37.

Soon afterward, Sony Corporation closed on its deal to buy the CBS Records group unit from CBS, naming him President and CEO of the music division, where he succeeded his former mentor Walter Yetnikoff, who had originally brought Mottola into CBS. Mottola served as Chairman and CEO Sony Music Entertainment.

Possible BACK connection (Look at first post in this thread for more information on this posting and BACK)
Quote
Throughout the decades of the modern tIMEs we live, many Great figures have suffered untIMEly demises. Deep reflection of these occurrences will or should give you great pause. The easiest approach up until about 20 years ago was always by the bullet. What changed the trend? Well, along came awareness, suspicion, and non-acceptance of "stories" that carry potholes in logic. Thus, it demanded a necessity for more elaborate plans of execution that are now used as a means of thwarting the full truth. This process had to be in magnification ten fold in order to end the physical existence of the most famous person walking this Earth. Many OTHER attempts had failed, even though they left enormous wounds. You see, evil always goes for the jugular by attacking a person's greatest strength. Michael Jackson's greatest strength was pure love. The antagonist of such a principle is hate. So they used that pure love and coupled it with another of his strengths towards healing and caring for sick children to formulate perhaps the most wickedly contrived fiction in history. The goal was to create the most egregious of perceptions and marvel with pleasure and amusement at its historically noted difficulty to disprove. But I'm of the vision that this stain too shall be removed in due course. In fact, I have intuition that the subject of the first narrative has already, years ago, righted that wrong behind the scenes. For that individual or even those of his acquaintance, who are ambivalent about the “open” approach & legalities, these initials (T-M) are your "key". Trust ME!

TM=Tommy Mottola?

Speculation Clue
In this really random, strange video, a small company, that may not exist, is selling a replica of Michael's casket. What is relevant to this theme is the years at the end of the video--1988-2009. 1988 again points to BAD era.

You know, when I was a kid I wondered what "BAD" stood for. I understood how he meant it, but I always thought that since all the letters were capitalized that maybe it was also an acronym.

AD is a common abbreviation for "After Death" especially when referring to Christ.

What if BAD stands for...Back After Death....? Which would be interesting because "Back" has a double meaning. He is BACK and he is back, literally.

That would also make sense if it was when he started planning this hoax...

Just an idea.

I like the way you think.  I wish I could provide some proof to back you but I don't right now. That is an interesting hypothesis though. Thanks for sharing! I personally believe this is when the adventure really started. It was planned during the Thriller era...maybe a little bit before then. I have a little bit of potential evidence but I have to take time to really fully investigate.

That's really interesting. Especially when you sing the actual song, and replace every "BAD" with "Back After Death"....I was too lazy to replace all of the "BAD"s

Quote from: "jacilovesmichael"
You know, when I was a kid I wondered what "BAD" stood for. I understood how he meant it, but I always thought that since all the letters were capitalized that maybe it was also an acronym.

AD is a common abbreviation for "After Death" especially when referring to Christ.

What if BAD stands for...Back After Death....? Which would be interesting because "Back" has a double meaning. He is BACK and he is back, literally.

That would also make sense if it was when he started planning this hoax...

Just an idea.

That's really interesting. Especially when you sing the actual song, and replace every "BAD" with "Back After Death"....I was too lazy to replace all of the "BAD"s


Your butt is mine
Gonna take you right

You’re throwin’ stones
To hide your hands

But they say the sky’s the limit
And to me that’s really true
And my friends you have seen nothin’
Just wait ’til I get through

Because I’m bad, I’m bad

Plus, when when you sing the song with the replaced lyrics, not only does the song start making more sense (to us hoax believers, of course), but the hoax, if Michael did indeed conceive it during the BAD era, starts making more sense as well.

Is it me or does this picture of Michael look NOTHING like him...?? :?  Everytime I look at it, it doesn't give me that feeling. All the other small pictures of him around the main central one DO look like him. Its just the big main one that doesn't convince me.

I think some of us have become so used to seeing later Michael, who to me looks more like Latoya than he did back in the BAD era. This new image on the cover of Michael is really not that new looking at all to me. Looks like the old Michael to me, like we moved back in time. A tiny little hunch or spark if you will, stays inside of me, call it hope or reaching, but it just nags at me, a feeling that Michael is alive and to this day his actual real look is like the BAD era. Maybe a little older looking, a little thinner but still BAD. I think we saw a lot more make up and disguise type faces on Michael than we saw his true look after the BAD years. I think he may have pulled some magic over on us all for quite some time.

That is exactly what I think as well. I pointed out a few pictures months ago where we see him with less make-up and where you still see the same MJ as in the BAD-era, just a little older. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

And there are other pictures. I think the wigs and the make-up created one big illusion. No one can change back and forth so many times.

Yes, especially the part "They say the skys the limit, and to me that's really true"... which was also a quote used on the big screen at the memorial. To me he is saying it very clearly: Nothing is off limits for him. And "Gonna hurt your mind, don't shoot to kill"...he doesn't need to actually hurt anyone physically, only make them THINK and wake up to the truth.

What you have just witnessed could be the end of a particularly terrifying nightmare. It isn’t. It’s the beginning.

I haven't had much time to investigate further but my theory on this theme is simple. I think the following quote could be true: "...He says it [Bad Tour] will be his last. After this, he wants to concentrate on movies and records..." I'll post more reasons why I think this with more factual and speculative evidence that I've gathered from you guys once I have more time.  It all starts with the BAD video IMO.
