The Official Disney Park's Blog is reporting that Captain EO, the 4D film creative through a collaboration between George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Jackson, James Horner and Disney, will be returning to Disneyland early next year.  There had been rumors of this since Michael Jackson's death, but no one knew for sure.

More after the jump (including the film).

The official Disney Parks Blog is reporting that Captain EO will be returning.

They report:

Twenty-three years ago, at the height of his phenomenal entertainment career, Michael Jackson joined forces with Disney to create “Captain EO,” a groundbreaking 17-minute 3D film experience.

We are excited to confirm that the classic musical spectacular that thrilled Disneyland park guests from 1986 – 1997, will return for an exclusive, limited engagement at Disneyland park beginning in February 2010!

Captain EO Returns

The attraction’s return to Tomorrowland will provide new audiences the opportunity to experience the original 3D production for the very first time, as well as a nostalgic look back for longtime fans wanting to see “The King of Pop” in a rare performance created for the big-screen, just one more time.

“Honey I Shrunk The Audience” will be closing sometime in the next few weeks to make way for the Captain’s return.

No word on whether the film will replace Honey I shrunk the Audience in Disney World's Epcot or Disneyland Paris.

Stay tuned for more info.

If you can't wait, here is the film.  We hope enjoy the show and the rest of the day in the park.
