When Haylee and I found this out, off we went to the Jam Factory to buy our tickets. It was a hoot. What made it more special was that Mel had come along, and not having seen the film before, we were proud to be there with her for her first 'Moonwalker' experience.
If you have never seen it, or haven't seen it in a while, here are but 10 reasons why you should buy your ticket.
1. The film begins with a half hour montage of Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 hits for no particular reason at all except to make you try and find new and exciting ways to dance in your seat without embarrasing yourself.
2. The 'Badder' short film: If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you, but I will say that when Mel saw it, giggles ensued.
3. Michael Jackson running away from claymation stalkers.
4 Michael Jackson turning into claymation Rabbit and then turns back into himself only to have a dance off with the claymation Rabbit...who's called Spike.
5. Michael Jackson dodging bullets and running away from dogs. If that isn't enough action for ya, tell me what is.
6. Baby Sean Lennon starring as one of the 3 children who accompany Michael on his Moonwalker adventure. What relation the kids are to Michael is never explained in the film, nor why they wander the streets at all hours of the night following Michael around to clubs and concerts with no supervision except for the occasional companionship of a dog.
7. Joe Pesci. In heels. Nuff said.
8. Smooth Criminal in all its wonderful glory.
9. Michael Jackson morphing into a car, then a robot then a spaceship, only to return and sing us a song.
10. Michael Jackson's delivery of the line "Do it and you're dead." Amazing.
The film is only screening until Wednesday, so get in there quick. Seeing it on DVD is just not the same.
