That's a great effect

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of once again joining Lou Mongello on the WDW Radio Show. We discussed the past, present, and future of the Muppets in Walt Disney World, and we may have even impersonated a few of them along the way…

One cannot talk about the Muppets without taking a moment to mention Jim Henson (it’s actually a legally binding clause in the standard rich and famous contract). Disney’s Hollywood Studios only features one Muppet attraction, MuppetVision 3D. While Jim Henson would not see the attraction debut in the parks, he was still alive and Muppeteering all the way through the film’s principal photography. Here, he can be seen directing Sweetums. This is obviously the scene where Sweetums is showcasing the uses of 3D technology by bouncing his paddleball towards the audience.

Still haven't gotten to that podcast yet. It's in my queue but I'm very much looking forward to it!

Been listening to some that you were on with Lou in the past. Great job on them. Especially liked the one on Wonders of Life.
