Captain EO Returns to Disneyland!

Fellow babies of the ’80s remember the wonderment of the "Captain EO" 3-D film experience at Disneyland that ran from 1986–1997. For a limited engagement in February 2010, Disneyland will resurrect the 17-minute film/music video ride starring Michael Jackson and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

While the smoke and laser special effects are super dated, (provided by who else? executive producer George Lucas) the 1980s brand of sci-fi costumes are ripe inspiration for today’s fashion plates that have been retracing the sartorial footsteps of the decade. Doesn't MJ's white shoulder-padded and studded jumpsuit remind you of an ensemble that a certain pop star wore at the American Music Awards recently?
