Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the puppet workshop founded by the legendary creator of The Muppets, is now drawing back the curtain for backstage tours!
When the news broke that Muppets Courtyard would be removed from Disney’s Hollywood Studios to be replaced by a new Monsters, Inc. Land, Muppets fans everywhere were saddened by the news.

One piece of Muppets Courtyard specifically got a lot of attention — Muppet*Vision 3D. Disney shared that they “are having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future.” The Jim Henson Company also shared a statement about preserving the film, so many fans are hopeful they’ll be able to experience the show well into the future in some way. Jim Henson’s legacy continues to live on through the Muppets and his last piece of work, but now it seems that the company’s studio lot is being sold to a famous celebrity!
Some BIG news was dropped recently for Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
