I think I would legitimately prefer watching @marni1971's tribute video of Muppet Vision to this.

Yes, re-live MV3D… with a ~$3.5k barrier to entry. Wow. Thanks, Disney!
In 10 years that will be how much a five day park hopper will cost.

This is indeed the most out of touch thing they could have possibly done.
And by they I mean both Disney and Apple. Both are companies I have long been a fan of but really don’t seem to understand what their customers want. Simple things like headphone jacks and free Fastpass! Haha

Releasing MV3D for headsets is great news.
Some people are dismissive of VR as a passing fad or think it should just be a regular Disney+ release, but I don't think they understand what the Vision Pro in particular is capable of.
The Vision Pro is a very powerful spatial computer, it's not "just a VR headset" that allows for remarkable media viewing.
You can, for example, watch Avatar: Way of Water on Disney+ and it actually feels like watching it on a movie theater sized screen. The 3D and high frame rate aspects are there as well. The ability to recreate a theater experience for older films is a great way to preserve the experience and it's a great home theater alternative.
They are going to be able to present the filmed show in a high quality environment that looks like the real thing, and will maintain the feeling of watching in a large theater.
A Meta Quest version won't have the same visual quality but should provide a good experience as well.
Some people dismiss this because of Apple's relatively small install base to date. That's not a reason not to do this. The technology should become more accessible in time, they're rumoured to be developing a "budget" version. Meta Quest may graduate to 4K displays in the future as well.
I've always been okay with the theme park attraction ending because it is dated. I'm very happy that Jim Henson's final project can be preserved this way.
