In 1986, tabloids reported that Jackson slept in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to slow aging, and pictured him lying in a glass box. The claim was untrue, and tabloids reported that he spread the story himself.[119] It was also reported, by the tabloids, that Jackson took female hormone shots to keep his voice high and facial hair wispy, proposed to Elizabeth Taylor and possibly had a shrine of her, and had cosmetic surgery on his eyes. Jackson's manager Frank DiLeo denied all of them, except for Jackson having a chamber. DiLeo added "I don't know if he sleeps in it. I'm not for it. But Michael thinks it's something that's probably healthy for him. He's a bit of a health fanatic."[120]

13:23 in dutch: Oh we are leaving again in a sad voice

Michael said in an interview that the 'oxygen chamber' was a piece of kit he helped design to help burn victims (in case you didn't know, michael was a burn victim himself. Whilst filming a Pepsi commercial his hair was set on fire by one of the stage effects which resulted in him permanently loosing most of his hair which required him to wear wigs, which is why his hair went straight instead of his usual tight curls) and that was him simply laying inside of it. Then someone took a pic without his permission, sold it to the media, and then crazy lies were made up saying he slept in the chamber every night so that he could 'live longer' which was 100% false considering he had a bed that he slept in...and also sadly died in.

That’s all true except I actually believe Michael had Frank DiLeo leak it to the press, along with the story, just to troll them. He liked to experiment with what they’d actually believe about him, seeing as how they’d proved over the course of his whole life up ‘til then that there seemed to be no limits. This is probably what came back to bite him in the ass in the end (neither of which is his fault). It’s easily-disproven if the press had actually wanted to; you can’t wear sneakers in those things, you will start a fire.

It is what you said it is, a classic 80s throwback with awesome visuals and I personally loved it as a Lucas, Coppola, and Jackson fan. It was a strange plot but Michael's stardom carried the film.

Anyways, I did get to see Captain EO when it was out originally, when my parents took us to DisneyWorld along with my grandmother.

The story and some of the dialogue is a bit lame yes, but in the theatre with the music pounding and the seats moving and everything, it was effective. So glad I got to see it in that little window of time before it closed.

This was one of my favorite attractions at Disneyland when I was a kid. I think the dialogue is fine because the captain uses music to defeat the enemy so you would expect the captain to be soft spoken. I’m so glad I got to see the tribute.

I saw Captain EO on my Grad Night trip and I loved the pure 80s fest it gave me. Only like 5 of us went to see it but I came out dancing!

The commercial is Dutch and translates to: 'Oh, we are leaving' or 'Oh, we are leaving again'. Hard to know without context! :) Awesome video, shame they closed it now and renovated it in 2012 when I last went to Euro Disney Paris. Edit: After watching the whole commercial it clearly is (in a dissapointing tone) : 'Aw, we are leaving already...' Because it was a promo ad for Euro Disney from 1991 which would open in 1992.

I was fortunate enough to witness the film during its second run at Epcot. Thanks for reminding us of this stellar classic, Kevin.

As a diehard appreciator of Captain EO, this is by far my favorite Defunctland episode to date! Well done, Kevin. Keep up the incredible work!

I saw this several times as a kid in the '80s. The 3D was absolutely spectacular, like you felt the objects were truly there in front of you or being thrown at you. Every 3D experience I've seen since then has paled in comparison.

It's crazy how many high profile people were apart of this project, like oh my god they got Frances Ford Coppola?! Angelica Houston?! Holy cow

Hey there! Your Defunctland videos are great. I am 40 now, and grew up in SoCal as a kid. Needless to say, we spent many days at Disneyland in Anaheim. I used to look forward to the Captain EO experience each and every time we went to the park (even if just to avoid the CA summer heat for a bit in that theater), and everyone here saying what a great piece of the 80s this is, are 100% accurate. Heck, even into the 90s it's significance still held weight. What can I say, we were easily entertained back then: fun and "danceable" music, cool 3D movies, frickin' "la-sers"...what could be better? Even when Captain EO Tribute came out in 2010, I appreciated the ability as an adult to bring my kids to see the show. We may have taken them 2 or 3 times before it, too, closed down. Even they loved it, but maybe slightly brainwashed by me who had pumped it up tremendously before I took them. No matter what shows they have added since, I honestly can't even watch anything else in that same theater if it's not Captain EO. Just doesn't feel right, like ghosts of past still lingering. Look, Michael was magic back then, larger than life, worshiped even, regardless of whatever controversy has popped up since. He was pop legend, a truly iconic figure that we just don't see the likes of today (there have been big, and great, artists since then obviously, but really nobody with that type of global reach into music, fame, and even politics). For Disney to have succeeded in capitalizing on Michael's pop star status for this project was both genius and expected. I know this isn't a discussion on MJ himself, so I don't want to derail the intent of this video. But it was certainly a great time to be a kid, and his star power certainly lent well to my Disney trips, because Captain EO was always one of, if not the, first places I wanted to go at Disneyland. I'll always pour one out for this lost homie...

Captain EO--probably the most 80s thing to happen in the 80s.

I wonder if Captain EO would ever be released on DVD/Blu-ray.

Having never heard of this before, I tell you being lead into a dark room to watch it entirely in french whilst at Disneyland paris was the most surreal experience of my life.

the commercial just said: oh we have to leave again in Dutch

I always felt Captain EO villain and creatures were heavy influences on the Borg and later Borg queen of Star Trek! The entrances by both are so similar!

Can you do one on “Honey I Shrunk the Audience” I loved that show !

Hi Defunctland Community! Hope you liked the episode on Captain EO! If you ordered a Captain EO 4D for $5 pack, then it should be on its way. For those of you that would like to watch the episode in 3D in side by side, unfortunately, I cannot export the video that way. If anyone knows how to convert 3D anaglyph to side by side (if such a process exists), please let me know. Thank you! Also, I apologize I called Richard Baker "Rich" instead of "Rick." If this bothered you, wooowwww.

I went to Disney World this past summer. And without a doubt, the worst attraction there was the Ellen Degeneres, Bill Nye Energy ride. It was hot and my wife and me went into this ride to cool off. We were warned in the beginning that it was 20 minutes long. But we thought why not. Boy that was twenty minutes we'll never get back. It was strange because it was Ellen twenty years ago. And I mean Ellen, before she came out Ellen. And Bill Nye before people thought he was full out it. We were two of maybe twenty other people there in these huge rotating platforms. I mean each platform could house a hundred people. But there were only twenty there. The ride was boring. Ellen, wasn't funny. Infact she was beyond annoying. The cameo's in it were uncalled for. Why was Jamie Lee Curtis in this? But the worst part of the attraction is when Ellen and Nye went to the time of the dinosaurs and the platforms we were in moved and we were surrounded by all these bad, embarrassingly bad dinosaurs. After it was over we sprinted out of there making fun of it for at least the next half an hour. I heard recently there getting rid of the attraction. Thank you. I don't know how it survived that long. Anyway the reason I told this story is that even though I hated the attraction. i would love to see what the history of it is.

I miss him so much! He was, and is, truly one-of-a-kind. Now I still don’t know the whole truth regarding all of the allegations made against him. But I do know that it’s his music and his phenomenal dancing that will continue to be what I love about him most. His creativity and musicianship were phenomenal. So no matter what else may be said about him, he was and is the King of Pop. We were only a year apart in age. I grew up in the Detroit area. One of my first 45s is “I’ll Be There”. In essence, I grew up with him and his music.

They had brought this back last time I went to Disney. It was pretty cool that my daughter got a chance to see it even though she was kinda creeped out by it. This thing was awesome when I was a kid, and it was cool to share it with her as well.

thank you for covering one of my most memorable and favorite attractions in disneyland :') i will miss captain eo forever

"oh my god its lucas cleanly shaven" was priceless. I love the production value of this series. Its so good!

Defunctland, @4:00 -- You made a fact error here. Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson were NEVER married. They dated for many years.

My older sisters took me to Disneyland before they moved away to another state together. One of the first things they did was take me into the Tomorrowland theater and watched this show with me. They hyped it up so much and I loved it. They even quoted lines from it for me the rest of the day. The show and theater were gone the next time I went back. That memory is so special to me :)

I remember going to Disneyland around 2010/2011. I went to get a Fastpass for Space Mountain. The machine gave me two tickets, but one of them had the Captain EO logo accidentally printed over one of them. I'm not sure if I still have that ticket. I hope I still have it lying around at home. That was quite an interesting get!

I was at the Tribute opening at Disneyland in the first public showing. It was a fun experience having grown up going to Disneyland and seeing it in its original run. I even made it into our local newspaper's front page crowd shot!

13:20 the dutch children just said they were going away again.its a bit couse they are riding all the attractions in the park and then teleport out of them. i got that thing on vhs.

I saw it at Epcot in the 80's when it was the new big thing, and I loved it. The quality of the 3D effect was a quantum leap ahead of any other 3D movies I had seen before. Thanks for another great episode!

Same here, spring of '87 I remember my shock when the evil queen turned into Angelica Huston. I elbowed my friend "Hey look, it's (forgetting her name) that chick from Ice Pirates!"

I actually got to see Captain Eo as a kid when they brought it back after his death. I mean, yeah, it’s not great, but I’m still really glad I got to see it. Not often you get the chance to experience a defunct attraction

Defunctland needs more coasters. I'd personally love to see Big Bad Wolf someday.

When I was little they remastered the movie and it was playing in the theater again. I would watch it every time I would go to Disneyland. It is so sad that they got rid of it. They should bring it back.

Aw I remember watching this in 2010! When it was on a tribute run for Michael Jackson. I'm glad I am cause this is is a fun cheesy 80s music video and movie classic. And I am so glad to see it when it came around for the tribute run. XD Love this video Defunctland! this is an awesome one!! Now since I kind of feel an Epcot Vibe. Honey I shrunk the Audience or Journey Into Imagination should be next! :D

Yes, Defunctland!

My brother and I managed to catch the tail end of the tribute run in March 2014 at Disneyland. It was a ton of fun. We spent that trip focused on as much classic Disney as we could.

Hooter ate the map! Was repeated by my 4 year old self throughout our family Disney trip. I'm sure my dad loved it.

I was a Michael Jackson fan ever since I was in the second grade. When he died, a part of my soul died with him. I first saw Captain Eo on KZread when people first uploaded it. Then, when I found out that Epcot was bringing back the attraction, I forced my sister to go with me to watch it.

I remember seeing Captain EO when they brought it back as a tribute to Michael Jackson, I’m glad they did because it was such a cool experience. Maybe I’m in the minority, but it was so much better than Honey I shrunk the audience or Stars Wars Path of the Jedi.

This video brought back some faint memories of my family and I watching the Captain EO tribute but I didn't know it was a tribute, I was around 8 years old and it was 2012 or 2013, I don't remember cause I was that young, and my dad was and still is a fan of Michael. We went to see it and I thought it was the coolest thing ever at the time, a few years pass and my family hasn't gone to Disney in a while cause, you know the tickets, but we go back when I was 11 or 12 and expected for Captain EO to still be there but it wasn't and my young mind didn't know that the show closed. But in the end that show will always be a wonderful memory I shared with my family especially my dad, he loved it and misses it. Now the only thing I remember from the show is the elephant looking alien and Michael.

"Sounded like a small child whispering a secret."

I remember seeing this!!! I love this movie!!! MJ for life!!!

Like the Thing from _Fantastic Four_ wandering around New York in a trenchcoat and hat, while everyone in the city pretends they don't recognize him.

One of my most memorable experiences for this was that little flying fur ball coming out of the screen so close to me, you would always see the audience members always try to grab him because he was just a few feet away from you. The 3D was traditional red and blue originally. When the tribute came out I was so excited to feel that experience again but ultimately was completely let down by the fact they have updated the 3D to be polarized "shoe box" experience, meaning all of the 3D world was located behind the physical screen which also meant that my little flying friend was a good 20 feet away from me instead over the head of the person in front of me. In fact I do not recall anybody trying to reach for him anymore 😥

I saw this as a teen sometime in the 2010's at Disneyland. The rest of my family was doing something else so I saw it with my dad. We were the only ones in the theater, and we cheered and laughed through the whole thing. Such a good memory.

Like 90% of Disney fans that watched this in parks, you fail MJ, Lucas, and Coppola when you say "joined him in DEFEATING the supreme leader," at the 12:00 mark of this video. Our hero, Captain EO, inspired a perceived evil to be good. Not with threats or violence, but with song and dance, rainbows and a few hip thrusts. Smile!

It Was An original Amazing attraction. It's GREATLY missed

This needs to be released in 4k, i wanna rewatch this in all it's glory, love MJ!

Captain EO still is one of my favorite things that ever was at Disneyland Anaheim. I remember everything about it! It was pretty amazing. Even just watching the commercial now makes me want to go see it. It’s hard to explain unless you were a kid in the 80’s. Micheal was LARGER THAN LIFE.

*Look, I was there on opening day and I am not really a fan of his at all, but the level of professionalism from him made that event pretty awesome. As cheesy as it all was, I always appreciated his perfectionism in EO. It just made the attraction really good from that standpoint and even as a young person, I understood how his work ethic impacted things. It was pretty awesome to see.*

3:58 I love how this stock image was used previously for an "Eric" (I think?) Conclusion? Twin brothers.

Fun Fact regarding Mr. Jackson's music: THE SAME PRODUCER who did the music videos for Thriller and Bad also did the music video for Weird Al's parody of the latter, Fat. Michael gave Al more or less carte blanche to parody his songs, so long as he "Didn't make fun of [him] personally" or "Do the Jackson 5 stuff".

It was always one of my favorites. I loved the intense audio and visual effects. I missed the tribute mostly because of the prices and I was still recovering from the recession.
