## Caption

Captain EO is a landmark 3D science fiction short film that premiered at Disney theme parks in 1986 and entertained guests through 1998. Starring Michael Jackson and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the project brought together Walt Disney Studios, Lucasfilm, and Walt Disney Imagineering for one of the earliest four-dimensional theme park experiences. Following Jackson’s passing, the attraction returned to Disney Parks in 2010 as a tribute and remained until its final showing at Epcot on December 6, 2015.

The film featured George Lucas as executive producer, with choreography by Jeffrey Hornaday and Michael Jackson, cinematography by Peter Anderson and Vittorio Storaro, and production by Rusty Lemorande. The story was developed by Lemorande, Lucas, and Coppola from a concept created by Imagineering artists. James Horner composed the musical score, which included the Michael Jackson songs We Are Here to Change the World and Another Part of Me.

Captain EO follows its heroic leader and his mismatched crew on a mission to deliver a special gift to the mysterious Supreme Leader who rules a bleak mechanical world. The crew includes Fuzzball, the twin-headed navigator Geek known as Idy and Ody, Major Domo and Minor Domo, and the well-meaning but clumsy Hooter. After being captured and sentenced, EO reveals that his true gift is music and the power to transform darkness into light. Through music and dance, he frees his crew, converts the guards into dancers, and ultimately transforms the Supreme Leader and her world into a place of beauty and harmony.

The film concludes with a celebratory performance of Another Part of Me as EO and his crew soar away in triumph.
