Line #2 YMMV/CaptainEO


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "We Are Here to Change the World" and "Another Part of Me".
2	* BrokenBase: The revival of the show at Epcot ran from 2010 to 2015 in a corner of the park that hasn't had a significant attraction upgrade since 2002's ''Ride/JourneyIntoImagination with Figment'' (which was the second retool of an established ride, and one that's a sore spot with devotees). Fans of the park are divided between those who insist it should have been kept as a classic Disney attraction and those who saw it as a moldy oldie that could be replaced with a dazzling new attraction --- perhaps a total rethink of the Imagination pavilion, even -- if the Imagineers and Disney's pencil pushers would just get off of their duffs. Rumors that a ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut''-based attraction might move into the theatre further fueled this debate, but as of TheNewTwenties renovation plans are off the table while other parts of Epcot are being rethought. The movie has been replaced with a matinée of Disney and Creator/{{Pixar}} short films in the meantime.
3	* EvilIsCool: The Supreme Leader has an absolutely killer design -- a [[Creator/HRGiger Gigeresque]] biomechanical horror [[FisherKing who seems fused to the industrial heart of her planet]] -- that's frankly much better than this attraction deserves, and is played by the likes of ''Creator/AnjelicaHuston'' to boot. Some people believe she actually becomes ''less'' attractive once EO reveals her "[[BeautifulAllAlong inner beauty]]".
4	* InferredHolocaust: The world seems to be a CityPlanet before EO's GenesisEffect turns it mostly into fields. Did the people inside the buildings die?
5	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The entire audience applauding and cheering when Michael Jackson comes on deck, a week after re-opening at Epcot.
6	* HilariousInHindsight: Jackson brought Creator/GeorgeLucas on because he basically wanted to produce a musical ''Franchise/StarWars'' movie. Fast forward two decades, and Disney -- ''without'' George Lucas -- is producing its own ''Star Wars'' movies with a main villain also called the [[Film/TheForceAwakens Supreme]] [[Film/TheLastJedi Leader.]]
7	* SoBadItsGood: By modern standards. The demand for its return to the Ride/DisneyThemeParks stemmed from a combination of PosthumousPopularityPotential and NostalgiaFilter; as A.V. Club writer Amelie Gillette wrote, "Why wait in line for hours to watch ''Captain EO'' at Disneyland when you could just pluck your eyeballs out and roll them over a [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppets]] poster while listening to ''Bad'', and get the same effect?"
8	* SpecialEffectFailure: The matte lines used to insert Fuzzball into the film are visible in several scenes. The puppets themselves don't fare a whole lot better, resembling ''Franchise/TheMuppets'' more than ''Franchise/StarWars''-style creatures.
9	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: At all locations, this film had many in-theater effects in its original run -- smoke, lasers, and flashing lights, plus an opening effect in which a starfield expanded beyond the borders of the screen -- that were eliminated when it was closed and replaced with ''Honey, I Shrunk the Audience''. For the 2010 revival, rather than restore the original effects, the Disney folks decided to replace them by adapting effects that were created and used for ''Honey'' -- such as having the seats vibrate in sync with the bass beat during the songs. Fans and even the professional travel guide ''The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland'' were not impressed (the latter found the vibrating highly annoying).
