This is the case with Body Wars, an Epcot attraction that used a similar set of technology. This attraction, which is on our list as marking the history of 3D in Disney World receives honorable mention since it is no longer playing. Besides being one of the first 3D films Disney released publically, it is also considered the first attraction to include 4D effects like lasers and smoke in the theater synchronized with the film. The science fiction story included two songs written and performed by Michael Jackson as he and his alien crew attempted to deliver a gift to The Supreme Leader. The film cost an estimated $1 per minute, making it one of the most expensive short films ever on a per-minute basis. This film, which required 3D glasses, was produced by George Lucas and ran for a total of 15 years in Epcot‘s Future World Journey into Imagination pavilion with its main showing from 1986 to 1996 and an encore performance in 2010 to honor Jackson’s death and closing in 2015. Captain EO was the first 3D attraction in Disney World! The first Walt Disney Studios 3D film Melody, was released way back on May 28, 1953, but the company didn’t really do much else with 3D film until 1986 when Michael Jackson starred in Captain EO. Let’s get started! Honorable Mention – Captain EO & Body Wars Today we’re going to take a look at the history and future of 3D attractions in Disney World starting with an honorable mention and going forward to the anticipated Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway! As technology evolved, 3D films became more successful in the 2000s with Avatar, released in December 2009 when it became the highest grossing film of all time. The technology that allows us to see films in 3D has been around in some form since the early 1900s but they really became popular in the 1950s and again in the 1980s and 1990s.
