"Pourrait" ou "sera" de retour quoi qu'il en soit pour moi c'est une très bonne nouvelle !

Le site de Disneyland à été mis à jour :

Comment se fait-il que certains effets originaux ne pouront etre présent ?

Heu, je dirais que la salle à changé depuis, avec les effets d'HISTA et que tout n'a pas pu etre remis à l'identique en si peu de temps...

Ils s'attendent à ce que la queue pour la première de Captain Eo commence à se former dès 6h (15h Paris) du matin, soit 4 heures avant l'ouverture officielle de l'attraction !!

Fans are expected to line up starting at 6 a.m. Tuesday for the first showing of “Captain EO” — four hours before the Michael Jackson film re-opens at Disneyland. The 3-D movie is back for a limited engagement at the theme park after a 13-year absence. Disney is reviving the film, which began at the park in 1986, because of the renewed popularity of the pop singer since his June death. Fans are asked to line up on the west side of Disneyland’s main entrance, winding around the side wall near the bag check area and possibly beyond, said John McClintock, a Disneyland Resort spokesman. Disney officials plan to lead movie-goers to the theater in Tomorrowland before the first showing begins at 10 a.m. The park officially opens at 9:30 a.m. for the Main Street U.S.A. area. Regular Disneyland guests can go in at that time to visit the park. Disney officials expect that those in line early will be able to see the movie on Tuesday. The Magic Eye Theater fits between 500 and 600 people. The 17-minute, science-fiction movie will show up to three times an hour. Some of the special effects from the first film will be absent this time, according to a Disney press release. However, Disney has a new 70-mm print of the film with acoustical enhancements in the theater.

Edit 4 : D'après ce que j'ai pu en lire, il n'y a ni lasers , ni fumées , ni starfield mais ils utilisent des effets de HISTA (vent, salle mobile) adaptés à Captain EO et le film n'a pas été remastérisé ... mais je voudrais quand même être la bas !

Live From Captain EO - Not Too Crazy

Fishbulb headed off to Disneyland at the crack of dawn today to cover the Captain EO Premier for those of you who can't make it to the park. We updated live, so pictures are posted in the order sent in. The early photos were taken on an iPhone and aren't the best quality. But keep reading all the way to the end for the high quality photos which were sent in later.

6am and only 50 people in line.


But at the very front of the line is . . . a micechatter:

It hasn't been a very busy morning. At the time these pictures were sent in (around 6:45 am) there were only an estimated 200 people in line:

Early Entry folks with a resort room key were allowed into the park early to view the film.

About 500-600 people are now in line. A Micechatter was picked to go into the private premier of EO.

UPDATED 9:30 am

The early morning EO line has moved into the park. The regular crowds have shown up along with the 600+ early EO folks.

Here are some more photos sent by Fishbulb from his iPhone just before he entered the park:

The littlest EO fans (Cuteness alert!)

(All photos above were taken on an iPhone - higher quality photos are being posted for you below)

UPDATED 9:46am

The MiceChatters are at the EO theater and were given yellow 3D glasses - Disney has opted to reuse the Honey I Shrunk the Audience glasses instead of using purple ones as in the original run.

UPDATED 10:41am

The Star-field, lasers, and fog/smoke were all missing (as expected and reported here earlier)
However, the motion floor was used (perhaps unnecessarily)
The print quality didn't seem very good and the film was a bit blurry (The MiceChatters were seated center/center). Disney had reported that it would be a glorious new print, but it just didn't seem that way.

The crowd was energized and enthusiastic. A huge cheer went up at the end of the film.

UPDATED 11:05am

Fishbulb has processed a bunch of photos and has begun sharing them (These are much higher quality than the iPhone images he took earlier. There are duplicate set-ups from above, but these are much nicer):

Update 11:30am

Here is Fishbulb's review of the new Captain EO Tribute experience:

Quote:

Now, Now, don't think I didn't enjoy myself. It's VERY NICE to see the Captain back in his rightful spot in Disneyland's Tomorrowland. I was among the first people to see it when it premiered back in 1986 and was very happy to be in the first crowd today to watch him dance around the galaxy making the universe a better place once again. THE FILM - **** out of **** I didn't want to post a review of the FILM itself since it has already been covered in the past. However, it is the centerpiece of the overall experience and I would be negligent if I didn't say at least something. The film itself holds up surprisingly well. The music, the dancing and even the special effects (for the most part) all stand their ground against the overly processed, CGI effects of today. Captain EO stands as a testament to the talent behind this attraction as a landmark achievement in theme park entertainment. THE NEW EXPERIENCE (Warning SPOILERS)THE FILM - **** out of ***1/2 The queue actually looks better than it did back in '86. The flat screens are a clean upgrade. The Yellow 3-D glasses left over from HISTA are reused here and, unless you are a total stickler for accuracy in your nostalgia, this is nothing to worry about. I would be upset if the glasses were in bad shape . . . but they are fine. The overhead screens display an updated version of the Captian EO logo and cycle the same "futuristic" music from before. That was a nice touch. At the six minute countdown mark a new Kodak commercial runs on the screens and it is FAR better than that shrill video from HISTA. The next surprise is that they run, as a look back, the full behind the scenes pre-show trailer from the past. Again, wonderful. The doors open and it is like taking a walk back in time. The theater sound system is once again welling with the space sounds of Captain EO. Somehow the theater feels smaller, although it obviously is not. Sitting down you face the screen and a remnant of HISTA greets you. The upper left corner is still slightly angled which ends up cutting off a tiny portion of the screen. Not a show stopper. The movie begins and although the stars on the screen become three dimensional, the once breathtaking star field that magically appeared and seemed to surround your field of vision is no more. Sad, but again, nothing that kills the overall experience. The movie once again whisks viewers away to space and projects them right into the middle of an aerial dog fight between our hero and the villains. However, the in theater laser effects are gone. This may be my only real gripe. Those lasers shooting out into the theater was always a real surprise and broke down the fourth wall sufficiently enough that you felt that you were IN the film. In its place is the use of the motion seats built for HISTA and repurposed for EO. The seats mimic the turns and moves of EO's ship and work to achieve the same effect. This got cheers from the audience. Later on during the film, the same effect is said to mimic the beat of the music although that did not operate properly when we saw it. The movie ended and all stood to give the film a standing ovation. That was heartening. Yes it's dated, but it has become retro-chic now. The recycled show elements from HISTA are fine. They are not what you remember from the past, but this certainly doesn't mar the film or the experience. My biggest complaint is with the film quality itself. Again, something negligible to everyone but the most picky film critic (Including me). Disney boasted a new 70mm print with amped up sound. A reprint of a negative is different from a restoration of a negative. So even though they have a brand new copy of the film you can still see the age of the film. There are specs of dust and blotches here and there and in some cases the blacks appear more as a blue. It seems that they could have tried to do a bit more with that. Regardless of my minor qualms, the Captain and the "Tribute" (as Disney is calling it) are just fine. It's not what you remember, but it's enough to take you back. And really, I think they did something very kind for the fans of this once extinct attraction. WOW! I just saw Captain EO again.

We hope you all enjoyed our coverage of the opening of Captain EO today at Disneyland. While the attraction is reopening with a blurry print and lacking some of the special effects it once had, it is nice to have something in the Magic Eye theater which is worth watching again. Who knows how long EO will be with us, but it was certainly a nice gesture for Disney to bring it back to the fans for however brief a run.

Chouette il y a les lasers et le champs d'etoile si quelqu'un pouvait traduire, ça serais cool !!!

Justement non, ni étoiles au début du film, ni lasers.
