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!

Saw it last week and all the effects were clean and in top shape. Best I've seen it look in YEARS.

Makes you appreciate it even more when you see the love that Jim Henson and his team put into making it.

Fun fact: Dave Goelz, seen here performing Kermit, is also the current voice of Figment.
Say what you will about the current incarnation of JII, I actually don’t mind Goelz as a replacement for Billy Barty.

It’s really painful that WDW didn’t reimagine DHS into a park where each studio either in partnership with or under the Disney umbrella would have a dedicated Land.
I thought that’s where they were going when they created “Pixar Place” and started having Frozone, Edna Mode, and Sully meeting in that area.
Alas….we’ll never get a Storyteller dark ride.
