Captain EO Entrance Music

Completed version of the entrance music to Captain EO. I'm still not totally happy with the audio quality but it was the best I could do.
Music composed by James Horner
Special thanks to / superhotlarry

[@michellewillis1751]

My favorite memory of this feature was coming into the theatre while listening to this entrance music. The bass was incredible! When it was time for the show to start, a multitude of tiny stars would shine all over the room. Thank you for recreating this--amazing!

[@grahammalinowski1982]

Same thoughts/feelings!

[@Vixx89]

i love eating at pizza port, watching the crowds head towards space mountain while this is playing :)

[@thekingers6674]

We miss Captain EO so much :(

[@jamesklatt]

Almost end of 2021 & I still get chills (the good kind lol) listening to this. RIP James Horner ... legendary composer

[@ThatOneGuy0006]

The bass is so intense at Epcot, when the Hans Zimmerman style BWAMM kick in, it shakes the entire theatre!

[@scottyPsychotty]

I remember that as a child. Such a cool way to hint to the arriving audience that this theater is packing a sound system with punch.

[@iMatt456]

I didn't know this was composed by James Horner. Awesome!

[@GC0077]

Learned about him in an elective class at my Cal state. Dude was an epic composer!

[@TheHaloRed]

Grab a fastpass for Space Mountain, watch Captain EO, then return to Space Mountain. You can't do that at Disneyworld! ;)

[@LottiDotti76]

Don't forget to grab a slice at the Pizza Port!

[@christianclough2833]

I worked at Journey into Imagination starting in early 1993, and though I tired of watching Captain EO, I never had enough of this great atmospheric entrance music. It sounded so awesome in that theatre, too, with a great sound system.

[@LottiDotti76]

All I have to say is this clip + Bose speakers = EPICNESS!

[@thesupermayoreo]

I listened to this to speakers with THX and it sounds phenomenal!

[@GimpyMR2]

So... 1.) As a child in the 80's (and I was born/raised in Orlando), and a bass junkie... I always loved this intro music. As others have said, the bass is incredible when live. 2.) I was glad to see he return of the show a few years back, but I have to say it was not how I remembered it. Sometimes, things are better left to your memory.

[@michael3466]

Thank you for sharing your musical brilliance James Horner. May you rest peacefully. I always envisioned traveling to the beyond with this music playing.

[@brillopad6901]

I still remember the hype for this when it came out, my family went in 87 with my cousins family and we all loved it. Took my kids to see this in 2010 and they loved it. Funny how many people hate on it, maybe it's easier to accept it and like it if you were a kid in the 80's? Pretty cool James Horner composed it

[@HauntFreak13]

yeah, after the first few months of its return numbers dwindled. eventually it was mostly just the hardcore MJ fans and those who grew up watching it in the parks going to see it.

[@scottyPsychotty]

This still gives me chills like it did back in the 80s and again in 2010. It’s hard to describe how those bass hits felt as you entered the Magic Eye Theater and took your seat. They were the perfect foreshadowing to what that incredible sound system in that amazing theater was capable of.

[@cannonkruk2794]

The 1980s crystalized.

[@aethendel]

Come on Disney !!! Get this on a CD !

[@fieryalbino]

Bless you for uploading this.

[@KnottsBear-yTalesPreserved]

I was there when the Return first opened. God that was an epic time in life. I did see the Original Captain EO as a kid though. But I have no major recollection of it. So when I went into the return back in 2010. I went in with anticipation...

[@Luzi4n4]

I've been searching for this theme song since 2012... It gave me goosebumps the two times I was able to see the show! Is so amazing... Magical... Deep.. MJ's escence! 😍❤️

[@goo83]

so good. gosh it brings back so many memories of Epcot.

[@falubii9712]

@CarlitosDK It's a show in EPCOT that used to be in the theater now occupied by Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. Captain EO was played by Michael Jackson. It was a pretty good show. I've only seen it once because on a trip I took about a year ago they decided to bring it back for a short time.

[@josephmora5230]

I had no idea James Horner was the composer and today, he's feared dead ,(

[@neysasmith2012]

Joseph Mora So sad to lose his great talent. May he rest in peace.

[@jeffzebert4982]

This would have been a PERFECT musical score for the starfield sequence in "No Man's Sky", for sure!

[@mkstoryland6151]

I really wish they could bring back this awesome attraction to Disney parks, keep it there and show kids who Michael Jackson really was.

[@AJ17_]

@Costerguy1234556 is correct. Captain EO is back at every Disney theme park that originally showed it (Disneyland, Epcot, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris). The brought it back in 2010 at Disneyland and Epcot and I think last year at the other 2 parks. I just saw it on the big screen again at Epcot last weekend. Still awesome as it was when I first saw it in 1987.

[@DROOGYCOFILMS]

Nostalgia overload!!!!!!!!!

[@goo83]

where did you get this? I love this... it brings back so many old Walt Disney World memories from the 80s!

[@user-yl4lf9mh1w]

this sent chills down my spine when I was 8 years old.

[@PrncssD1]

From what I'm reading on Twitter, it looks like Captain EO is closing at Disneyland! I hope it is brought back on last time after the Guardians preview is done! :''''[[[

[@mkstoryland6151]

Diana I wish they could bring it back soon after Star Wars Land is done. They should make sure remove Path of the Jedi and bring back Captain EO right were he started it, and keep it there, not for a few months like it was done in Epcot.

[@hovermirage]

I used to write to WDI and call them to get a copy of this 20 years ago lol...omg

[@JoshFreilich]

RIP James

[@georgeb.3997]

awesome find

[@zimmermouse]

The best music ever!!!Heavenly beautifull!!Thanks!

[@FanMa5ter]

awesome intro

[@kayseevazquez2284]

I remember watching Captain EO in the theater because you get to wear 3d glasses

[@sgtpepper1138]

amazing.

[@aaronveegee]

sounds great to me! thanks for posting!

[@Kane615]

@avanden17 Yup, now if only they could bring Dreamfinder back next door.

[@David_Mikkelsen]

First off thanks for the awesome upload of this. Secondly, would you know where to DL a higher quality version of this?

[@addebisislittlehatfromoz6201]

😊

[@Its_Star_Brite]

YEEESSS IM HOME!!

[@jacksongraham9408]

Epic

[@JoshFreilich]

@falubii That short time turned out to be a REALLY LONG TIME.

[@Electromoda]

This track feels a lot like Horner's work on the soundtrack to 'Krull'

[@Electromoda]

Oh! Also the amazing James Horner track from Star Trek III during the scenes on Vulcan.

[@EVOLUTIONThug]

Captain EO is a movie by George Lucas with Michael Jackson in 1986

[@misscaptaineo]

I wish I could have seen this when I went to Disneyland in 2013. But being the dumb kid I was, I wasn't interested. Now I regret not seeing it. (ᗒᗩᗕ)

[@julianarroyo3295]

Hey great vid do u mind if I borrow this video for a project I’m working on

[@Kane615]

@falubii Eh Honey I shrunk the Audience was replaced by Captain EO a few years ago.

[@zimmermouse]

How did you record this?? Just curious.

[@DarkEyeFilms1]

Anybody happen to know what synthesizers were used to make this? I can't find any information on this.

[@DanielMiller-z3j]

Space music!!!..

[@soccerstud652]

Is there anywhere I could download a high quality audio file of this?

[@jimbox114]

Not sure how you get a Fastpass for Space Mountain while watching this.. This shows at epcot and Space Mountain is at Magic Kingdom. Anyways was at Epcot yesterday and watched this. Hadn't seen this since I was 7 years old (1987). MJ was always good at turning badguys into skilled backup dancers :)

[@DTraviesoP10]

The end of the StarWars trilogy. Second to last two last letter of his first name and second to last letter of his last name. Janet Jackson Is also a Captain…

[@天聖凜音]

CAPTAIN EO in tokyo presents by JCB

[@kalyphillips2070]

I miss it :'( I don't like the new Pixar shorts they have now. like yes, it is cool for first time you go, but after that you're kind of sick of it.

[@mkstoryland6151]

kaly phillips Yup. I miss Captain EO and I want it back and keep it there.

[@julianarroyo3295]

I wished they brought back honey I shrunk the audience

東京ディズニーランドなら、下にJCBのロゴが出てくるんだよな

[@MrDerpyBrony]

if you dont like it dont comment

[@aethendel]

1 dude has s*** in his ears.

[@DisneyInnoVader]

@jberlotti Sounds better in SkullCandy. Shameless advertising!

[@aethendel]

the "child molesting monster" is just the lamest argument, dude. This is about a score. Why'd you even bother leaving hateful comments ? Get a hobby.

[@MushuDennis]

i find this show a waste of your time. i rather watch the other show. last few times i was there since his reopening in Paris, the waiting time was 5 min. maybe its better they keep it in the US. Because the parks are older. And some people just want to see the classics back from their childhood. I have that with the time traveler attraction with that nine-eye robot.

[@evansfreeman408]

Captain EO was probably the worst thing to bombard my eyes

[@kalyphillips2070]
