I was BoingBoinged via John Frosts' wonderful "The Disney Blog".
Cory Doctorow is a huge Disney fan and I have no idea why I didn't think to submit this to the site myself. I discovered BoingBoing through Cory after he linked to some pics I took of the Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion's Madame Leota Tombstone the day it was installed. I had no idea why the Geocities site (this was several years ago) that I threw them on was always maxed out on bandwidth- checked the stats and discovered BoingBoing.
Back to Captain Eeyore...
Jim Hill has additional info on the backstory of Captain Eeyore (why it was created, info about the Disneyland event it was created for, some of the performers and others who worked on it, etc.)

A long time ago (10 years or so), I saw a complete version of this thing at a co-worker's house. One of the funniest damned things that I think I've ever seen (I know it probably isn't to everyone). Basically it is a shot for shot remake of the George-Lucas-Produced-Francis-Ford-Coppola-Directed-Michael-Jackson-Starring-Theme-Park extravaganza, Captain EO with the Disney Characters.
This was created in Disneyland for one of their character banquets and was done with permission. Stuff like this wouldn't be permitted by the upper levels today. This was way before the internets made it easy for this stuff to get out.
I so wish someone would post the complete film.
