Jackson collaborated with George
Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola on
the 17-minute 3D film Captain EO,
which debuted in September 1986 at
both the original Disneyland and
atEpcot in Florida, and in March 1987
at Tokyo Disneyland. The $30 million
movie was a popular attraction at all
three parks. A Captain EO attraction
was later featured at Euro
Disneyland after that park opened in
1992. All four parks' Captain EO
installations stayed open well into the
1990s: the Paris installation was the
last one to close, in 1998. The
attraction would later return to
Disneyland in 2010 after Jackson's
death.
In 1987, Jackson disassociated
himself from the Jehovah's Witnesses,
in response to their disapproval of
the Thriller video. With the industry
expecting another major hit, Jackson's
first album in five years, Bad (1987),
was highly anticipated.

The album spawned seven hit singles
in the U.S., five of which ("I Just
Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The
Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in
the Mirror" and "Dirty Diana")
reached number one on
the Billboard Hot 100. This was a
record for most number one Hot 100
singles from any one album,
including Thriller. As of 2012, the
album sold between 30 to 45 million
copies worldwide. Thanks to
the Bad album, Bruce Swedien
and Humberto Gatica won one
Grammy in 1988 for Best Engineered
Recording – Non Classical and
Michael Jackson won one Grammy
for Best Music Video, Short Form for
"Leave Me Alone" in 1989. In the
same year, Jackson won an Award of
Achievement at the American Music
Awards because Bad is the first album
