Muppet*Vision 3D: Why Jim Henson’s Last Creation Is a Moving Moment in Disney History
- Muppet*Vision 3D, a 3D movie attraction with animatronics and effects, is closing after 34 years at Disney's Hollywood Studios on June 7, 2025.
- The closure follows Disney's phased redevelopment of the Grand Avenue area to build a Monsters, Inc.-themed land, replacing the Muppets' longtime space.
- Jim Henson began work on Muppet*Vision 3D before his 1990 death, and the attraction debuted in May 1991 as part of Walt Disney World’s 20th anniversary.
- Theme parks historian Ken Pilcher explained that the area now known as Grand Avenue in Hollywood Studios was originally planned to serve as the location for the Muppet Studios, where Muppet film and TV projects were intended to be produced.
- The closure ends a distinct era but fans’ passion and Disney’s plan to integrate Muppets into other attractions suggest the legacy will endure.
