Captain EO is to return to Disneyland parks in February 2010. According to Rolling Stone, the popular 3D movie starring Michael Jackson, which screened for audiences at the height of the King Of Pop’s popularity, will open to Disney patrons again for a limited run as a tribute to the fallen popstar. The 17-minute film was directed by The Godfather’s Francis Ford Coppola and co-written by Star Wars mastermind George Lucas. In the film, Jackson stars as the title character who must deliver a gift to the wicked universe-enslaving Witch Queen, played by Anjelica Huston.

Disneyland released the following statement:

The attraction’s return to Tomorrowland will provide new audiences the opportunity to experience the original 3D production for the very first time, as well as a nostalgic look back for longtime fans wanting to see The king of Pop in a rare performance created for the big-screen, just one more time.
