Muppet*Vision 3D is a 3D film attraction featuring the Muppets located at Disney's Hollywood Studios in the 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 Jim Henson Productions, the attraction incorporates the 3D film in conjunction with in-theater 4D effects, such as Audio-Animatronics, lighting, projections, smoke, soap bubbles, 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 acts to demonstrate their new breakthrough in 3D film technology. The show, however, completely unravels when Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's experimental 3D sprite, Waldo, causes mayhem during the next portion of the show.

The attraction opened as Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D[2] on May 16, 1991 at Disney's Hollywood Studios (then Disney-MGM Studios), exactly a year after Henson's death. Muppet*Vision 3D had a subsequent incarnation which opened in Disney California Adventure on February 8, 2001, and operated at the park until November 1, 2014.[3][1][a]

In November 2024, it was announced that Muppet*Vision 3D at Disney's Hollywood Studios would close alongside the rest of the Muppet Courtyard to be replaced by a themed area based on Pixar's Monsters, Inc. franchise.[5] In January 2025, it was announced that the final day of operation for Muppet*Vision 3D will be June 7, 2025.[6]
