Captain EO (Bad Idea) – by Kimberly Keller

Captain EO, the insane 1986 4D Disney Park film from the minds of Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas, returned to the parks in 2010 as a tribute to Michael Jackson and for some reason hasn't left since.
Although it contains less effects than the original run, the tribute does feature bouncing audience seats that sync with 1980's pop beats in a way that's enough to make anyone motion sick.
Basically, if I have to sit through one more showing, I am going to scream.

Disney, however, loves this thing.
When it first came out it was the most expensive film made for the length, almost averaging $2 million per minute.
Although there is never a line to see the film at Disneyland, enough people buy the merchandise, sarcastically or not, for me to see it constantly around town.
This, of course, instills the fear that people just might buy a figure for it in Disney Infinity, even if it is just for laughs.

And it doesn't have to be a Michael Jackson figurine either.
I'm not really sure about the licensing rights here, but it could be any number of the other characters.
Examples include the borderline retarded Hooter or the creepy machine-like Supreme Leader, played by Anjelica Huston (yup, watch it again, that is absolutely her, hissing and leering behind the makeup).

＜This will be in Jack Sparrow's nightmares.＞

Their troubled world is full of countless gray junk piles that transform into an ancient Greek paradise.
I guess the play set would be the entire 17-minute movie played over again, or maybe Captain EO bringing the magic of music to other trashed out worlds.
Honestly though, I don't know and I don't want to find out.
Seriously, why on Earth would the nameless Galactic Federation send a traveling band around the galaxy to sing at people?
And I mean sing at them in a threatening way with a horde of super on point 80's dancers.
I don't care if it gets the job done, it's an embarrassing tactic.

Back in the Toy Box, I don't see them fairing much better.
The weird little puppets characters are not as happy and playful looking as their Muppet counterparts, so I don't see many kids favoring them.
Their only power in the film was to literally transform into an instrument, if they were a robot, or to play said instruments.
True, Captain EO can shoot multicolored music lasers from his fingers to transform enemies into more dancers, but just throw that onto a Power Disc if you really want the ability to give your villains the power of expression through movement.
