The Muppets will forever be remembered as the great Jim Henson’s legacy. I know for sure that some will unfortunately forget of their existence, but I’ll never forget them thanks to the instrumental part they had in my childhood. Moving on, I will say this, that Muppet Vision 3-D is a very faithful attraction that captures the spirit of the Muppets and rekindled my childhood interest in them. In other words, this is one of the better 3-D shows out there!
First off, the entire attraction’s area looks great, with the ingenious Miss Piggy fountain and Kermit balloon towering over the attraction. Also, I remember that the queue was very nicely themed, though I can’t go into specifics since it has been a few years since I’ve been on this attraction, but I do remember it being quite entertaining. After donning a pair of 3-D glasses (Fun Fact: This is the only Disney show to refer to them as 3-D glasses), you proceed into the massive theater, which is modeled exactly after the iconic one featured in so many Muppets episodes. Despite it being many years since viewing the Muppets, it just seemed to have every detail just as I remembered it being in the television show.
Now onto the show itself, the entire premise of the attraction is that a new Muppet has been created, Waldo. However, he is uncontrollable and goes haywire, leading to a chaotic show with plenty of the slapstick humor I’ve come to love and know from the Muppets. All of the effects were visually stunning and appealing, especially the bubble scene and incredible cannon scene that literally blew me away! Also, I love how Disney integrates live animatronics into this 3-D show as they have done with some of their others since it just adds an element of realism to the show. Not only is the attraction just very enjoyable, but it’s also very long, even for a 3-D show.
Really, the Muppets is a great attraction for any age with its kid-friendly characters and gut-busting humor sprinkled throughout. Definitely if you spend a day at Hollywood Studios, make time to see this wonderful 3-D show, as it is easily one of the best 3-D shows out there, and one of the best attractions featured at the park.
