Brian Henson Weighs In on the Closure of MuppetVision 3D
Cue the sad trombone and one last splash from the fountain—Muppet Vision 3D is officially curtains at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But according to Brian Henson, son of the legendary Jim Henson and chairman of The Jim Henson Company, the show may not be gone forever.

In a recent interview with Theater Mania, Brian shared some bittersweet insight into the beloved attraction’s closure and future potential. While he didn’t confirm anything concrete, his words give fans a glimmer of hope. “They wrapped it up in the way Disney does,” Henson explained, noting that all the animatronics were carefully packed and the show itself was fully recorded. “So, theoretically, they could bring it back out if they wanted to at some point.”
MuppetVision 3D officially closed on June 7, 2025, bringing an end to a legacy that began with its opening in May 1991—just one year after Jim Henson’s passing. This zany, heartfelt show was one of the last projects Henson worked on, and it quickly became a staple at the park, delivering chaotic charm to hundreds of guests every hour. The theater and surrounding Muppets Courtyard—including PizzeRizzo, Gonzo’s Royal Flush, and Studio 1 Company Store—have all shuttered to make way for the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land.

As for the Muppets’ next act? They’re reportedly moving down the street—literally—to take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. The current Aerosmith-themed ride will be reimagined with Doctor Teeth and the Electric Mayhem stepping into the spotlight. When asked about this retheme, Brian Henson seemed as in the dark as the rest of us: “You’d have to ask them. I don’t know what they’re telling people.”
