An animated Michael Jackson . That all sound heavy .
Jackson has had some posthumous material released since his death in 2009 , but this special is a far cry from simply re - releasing his old carrying out . Creating an animated Michael Jackson to asterisk in a Halloween special is essentially cashing in on the singer as a brand , which seems like a tiptop - unearthly decision to make in 2017 . Although given Captain EO and Moonwalker , chances are Jackson himself would wholeheartedly approve .
The particular will air sometime this nightfall .
