LOS ANGELES — “Captain EO” is moonwalking back to Disneyland.

The theme park announced plans Friday to bring back the 3-D sci-fi film starring Michael Jackson next February, more than 23 years after the attraction debuted in Anaheim, Calif. The 17-minute film starred the late King of Pop as a singing-and-dancing intergalactic commander. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and executive produced by George Lucas .

In the film, Jackson leads a goofy alien and robot crew as they battle a wicked queen played by Anjelica Huston . “Captain EO” originally opened in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland in 1986 and ran for more than a decade. Identical versions later opened at other Disney theme parks. They were all closed by 1998.

Jackson died June 25 at age 50.
