A framed poster displayed at the world premiere of Francis Ford Coppola's Captain EO. Shown at Disney theme parks from 1986 to 1998, the film covered the story of Captain EO (Michael Jackson) and his crew delivering a gift to a witch, "The Supreme Leader" (Anjelica Huston).

This custom poster featuring Captain EO, members of his crew, the Supreme Leader, and Fuzzball over a background of chorus dancers and prism lights in space originated from the collection of Thomas G. Smith, who spent several years as Industrial Light & Magic's (ILM) General Manager and served as the film's post-production supervisor. Unlike the standard one-sheets sold at Disneyland and EPCOT, this version features a more extensive billing block and a different color palette.

The poster comes mounted in a custom black frame with a special edition Los Angeles Times "Remembering Michael Jackson" newspaper affixed to the reverse. The frame exhibits a build-up of grime and some scuffing. Dimensions: (framed) 20.5" x 30.5" x 2" (52 cm x 77.5 cm x 5 cm)

Additional Provenance: Letter of Authenticity from Smith.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
