Muppet*Vision 3D Should Be a National Heritage Site
The only way to ensure that this gem of a Disney World theatrical experience is protected is straight-up government intervention.
It’s already accepted practice for landmarks related to great artists and writers to be registered as official historic places, from Walden Pond to the Florida Keys’ Hemingway House to James Baldwin’s Upper West Side apartment building to, naturally, Walt Disney’s childhood home and the small garage that he used as his first makeshift animation studio. For example: On July 10, the WDW News Today Twitter account released footage of its new revamp of the Country Bears Jamboree, an iconic opening-day animatronic show in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. (Trixie, who once sobbed into her booze singing “Tears Will Be the Chaser for Your Wine,” now mows through the feel-good “Try Everything” from Zootopia, and Swingin’ Teddi Barra has been slut-shamed into swapping out her Mae West routine for “A Whole New World.”) It’s overly literal, unimaginative, and without a point of view besides the one that sees opportunities for Disney+ synergy.
