No, I don't but I remember seeing Honey I shrunk the audience.
I like Honey, I Shrunk The Audience. The only thing I don't like are those MICE! Geez, after that I had my feet on the chair for the rest of the show.

I first went to Disney World in 1999 (one little 3D attraction lured me there). I have only been to Epcot in 2000 so I've never experienced Captain EO. I've read the script online and it sounds fun. Does anybody have the pre-show script because I would like to read it.

BTW, has anybody ever seen The Circle Of Life in The Land? That one is good.

Hiya.I remember Captain EO,got to see it,almost when it first came out.I remember the plot line was kinda dark & the only way to see the 3D effect,is to stare really hard at the screen(got to see it in total 3 times).I love Honey I Shrunk the audience though.I love not only the movie,but the 4D part as well(feeling the scury of mice at my feet) & the 3D effect is much easier to see this time.I took my roomate to see it a few years ago,he loved it! We both love the pre-show too! Highly recommend HISTA,for anyone that goes down to Orlando. :excited: :smirk: :zany:

Oh wow! I have never been to Disney land, but I have seen this film before and it is freakin' amazing! It's the most expensive film per minute. It is seventeen minutes long and costs one million dollars per minute to produce. I still think the effect are amazing in it! VH1 aired in exactly one time and one time only because the film rights were so expensive. It is doubtful it well ever be released for public consumption because you between it owners (Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, Disney and Michael Jackson) the right was way to expensive for it ever to be out out. That is what has been said over the years. I am hearing that it actually ran until 1993 at Walt Disney World, and until 1998 at Disneyland.

LOL, leave it to Ilikemuppets to get this forum jumpin' again. I remember when VH1 aired it. They had been promoting it for like, a month and even said it was going to be a ONE Time thing. It was a HUGE deal in my household. In Philadelphia, it was a stormy night, and my whole family was prepared to sit down and watch the King do his thing. So, we had our popcorn, and beverages. Put a blanket on the floor. Turned the lights out. We were really tryna get the "Big Screen" experience. And just when the opening credits came on, don't you know our entire neighborhood lost power. My brother started screeming "NOOOOOO" out of disappointment. I was crying. It was chaos.

Then, a few years later, '97 or 98 I believe. I wrote VH1, told them our story and asked if they could air it again. Basically, they wrote back and said no, in a kinda rude way. Like, "sorry you missed it. Too bad for you". So I boycotted vh1 for a few years.(yes, I'm very passionate)Looking back, I may have read toomuch into it. Now, here I am 10 years after that, and I'm still mad about it. If vh1 hadn't come up with that "I Love the 'Era'" dynasty, I'd probably still not watch.
