How it feels

Michael Jackson is the star of this movie that tells its story through a series of music videos and short films. It shows him as a kind of superhero fighting crime and helping kids. The whole thing is a celebration of his music and dancing.

What happens

Moonwalker is a 1988 American anthology musical film starring Michael Jackson. Rather than featuring one continuous narrative, the film explores the influence of fandom and innocence through a collection of short films about Jackson, several of which are long-form music videos from Jackson's 1987 album Bad. The film is named after the dance technique known as the moonwalk, which Jackson was known for performing. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
