People who watched Captain EO when it came out......

......how did people react to it?

I watched it in about 1989. It was ok. It's a theme park attraction, people are always excited by everything. I'm not sure what you're asking.

I saw it in 1992 and while standing in line, I had my autograph book out cuz I thought I was gonna meet him lol ( lol I was 10).

The theatre was packed, people loved it!

I saw it in 1991 about 16 times in a row! While proudly wearing my MJ T-shirt (a cool Bad Tour t-shirt). When the film ended, I ran right back to the entrance to go see it again!! It was packed every time and everyone loved it and were trying to reach out at Michael!! I took the glasses off one time to see what people around me were doing and everyone had their arms out and were trying to reach Michael!
