Muppet*Vision 3D was a 3D film attraction featuring the Muppets formerly located at Disney's Hollywood Studios, at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and Disney California Adventure, at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. 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 incorporated 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. Starring Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Richard Hunt, and Steve Whitmire in multiple Muppet roles, the film featured a pre-show that lead into Kermit the Frog guiding park guests on a tour of Muppet Studios, while the Muppets prepared their sketch acts to demonstrate their new breakthrough in 3D film technology. The show, however, completely unraveled when Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's experimental 3D sprite, Waldo, caused mayhem during the next portion of the show.

The attraction opened as Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D on May 16, 1991 at Disney's Hollywood Studios (then Disney-MGM Studios), exactly a year after Henson's death, while the Disney California Adventure incarnation opened on February 8, 2001, and closed on November 1, 2014.

Muppet*Vision 3D at Disney's Hollywood Studios closed to guests on June 8, 2025. Disney cast members were given the opportunity to view the show a final time on June 10. It will be replaced by an area themed to Pixar's Monsters, Inc. franchise.
