OK! This is old news but as some photos are circulating on social media about the return to space Captain EO, we just wanted to clarify!
As you know, Disney works on multiple projects every year, for movies, cartoon, TV and diverse kid’s channels.
In 2018, a list of projects that Disney was considering working on leaked. The list was a number of titles and drawings for TV cartoon and this list included “The Aristocats” based on the movie of the same name; “Park Poppers”, a variation of Mary Poppins, “The Haunted Mansion” based on Eddie Murphy’s movie and “Captain Neo”, an TV adaptation of “Captain Eo” with Michael Jackson.
This list was joined with a pre-view drawing of each TV series and obviously, most of them never came to life and went back straight to the Disney vault… for now!
Captain Neo was supposed to be a mini series created by Joe Pitt, directed by Moreno Hugo and animated by Matt Williames and Clio Chiang but Disney rejected it.
So the only thing left is this drawing and the name from 2018!
Sorry to disappoint the MJ fans but it seems we will not see this series for a very long time, just like the Captain Eo Infinity!
Maybe one day we will get all of them once the Estate and Disney have settled a deal! One can hope.
