Muppet*Vision 3D May Be Getting a VR Revival According to Jim Henson Company
Cue the confetti cannons and Statler and Waldorf groans—Muppet*Vision 3D might be getting a second act… and this time, it’s going virtual! At a recent panel celebrating the 70th anniversary of The Jim Henson Company, fans got a surprise tidbit that could mean the beloved theme park show isn’t quite ready to fade into the felt-lined archives just yet.

According to Lisa Henson, CEO of The Jim Henson Company, Muppet*Vision 3D has already been “documented with VR cameras” and talks have begun with Disney about a potential VR release. While nothing is set in stone just yet, this is the first real sign of life for the fan-favorite attraction since it took its final bow at Disney’s Hollywood Studios earlier this month.
Muppet*Vision 3D was one of Jim Henson’s final projects before his passing and has been a long-standing tribute to his creative genius. With the show now closed and the Grand Avenue area of the park being prepped for its Monsters, Inc.-themed transformation, many fans have wondered if the Muppets would be gone for good. But according to Disney, the original film has been preserved, and that opens the door for future possibilities.

Could a VR version bring the chaotic charm of the Muppets right to your living room? Or could it be a bridge to a new experience inside the park itself? Rumors continue to swirl about a Muppet takeover of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, with speculation that Muppet*Vision 3D could eventually resurface in the neighboring theater where Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After is currently playing.
For now, fans will have to stay tuned—and maybe keep a VR headset on standby. After all, in the words of Sam Eagle, “This is a glorious three-hour finale!” (Give or take a few gigabytes.)
