Celebrating Jim Henson’s Muppet*Vision 3-D

[Mark Dunne]

I’ve seen CM’s practically begging guests to go in to philharmagic at DCA.

In WDW its a must for us to see Philarmagic, with the 4K re scan, its looks good as new again, great show, and in the cool AC , really hope they don't remove from there any time soon , we love it!

This is the closest thing will ever see the show when it was being tested with the AA's before they were placed into the theater..It gives you a better look at the AA's and how they reacted to the film..

The animatronics in this show are AMAZING! I remember when I first found the video you posted here, I watched it a couple times, first for Statler and Waldorf and then once to watch the penguins!

I was impressed with Swedish Chef as he had a walk cycle when he goes toward the hole.

I love this show. In my opinion it holds up extremely well. With the exception of Waldos CG, everything else is good. The show is funny, I've never been at a showing where the majority of people weren't laughing. Now I will say, I've been a muppet fanboy my whole life so I know I'm a bit biased.

I guess many didn't realize that this follows a segment that was showcased on the Jim Henson Hour called "Muppet TV" and the reasons you see Bean Bunny in this and the 3d show was that they hired him to be cute so the other Muppets don't feel as dumb...

And Waldo of course was meant for the show
To introduce 3D puppetry..


Other fun facts the Computer graphics company that helped create him was Pacific Data Images or PDI for short which became the animation studio for DreamWorks several years later


If it weren't for this tech Henson Studios was able to roll out their whole digital puppetry dept.

My wife simply will not visit H.S without visiting the Muppets 3D, its a favorite of her's, it reminds us of what Disney did so well ( and still doing by the way ) but shows like M.V 3D are timeless, Waldo is a bit annoying, but its really mickey mouse so i don't mind . But miss piggy on the river bank is brilliant, and remember to look over your shoulder at the end.

It's the same old tired story. I don't like something so let's get rid of it. Me, me, me, me!
