'''''Muppet*Vision 3D''''' is a [[3D film]] attraction featuring [[the Muppets]] located at [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]] in the [[Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World Resort]] in [[Bay Lake, Florida]]. Directed by [[Jim Henson]] (in his final major project before his death in 1990) and a co-production between [[Walt Disney Imagineering]] and [[The Jim Henson Company|Jim Henson Productions]], the attraction incorporates the 3D film in conjunction with in-theater [[4D film|4D]] effects, such as [[Audio-Animatronics]], lighting, projections, smoke, [[soap bubble]]s, and a live full-bodied performer. The film consists of a pre-show which then leads into [[Kermit the Frog]] guiding park guests on a tour through Muppet Studios, while the Muppets prepare their [[Sketch comedy|sketch acts]] to demonstrate their new breakthrough in 3D film technology. The show, however, completely unravels when [[Bunsen Honeydew|Dr. Bunsen Honeydew]]'s experimental 3D sprite, [[Waldo C. Graphic|Waldo]], causes mayhem during the next portion of the show.

The attraction opened as '''''Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D'''''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/05/this-day-in-disney-history-muppetvision-3d-celebrates-20-years-of-fun/|title=This Day in Disney History: Muppet*Vision 3-D Celebrates 20 Years of Fun|first=Jennifer|last=Fickley-Baker|publisher=Disney Parks Blog|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304193334/http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/05/this-day-in-disney-history-muppetvision-3d-celebrates-20-years-of-fun/|archive-date=March 4, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref> on May 16, 1991 at Disney's Hollywood Studios (then Disney-MGM Studios), exactly a year after Henson's death.
