It's time to play the music! It's time to light the lights! It's time to meet the Muppets on this episode tonight!
Join Marissa and Kaity as they dive into another episode of "Canceled." This week, they explore the ill-fated Muppet Studios, a planned land at Disney parks that never saw the light of day. In the early 90s, The Muppets were wildly popular, and a merger between Disney and Jim Henson Studios was set to bring an entire Muppet-themed area to the parks. However, the unexpected death of Jim Henson in 1990 halted the merger, and the dream of Muppet Studios vanished.
The episode covers the exciting details of what Muppet Studios could have been, including a ride, 3D movie, stage show, parade, and themed restaurants. They also discuss the promotional efforts that were planned to integrate The Muppets into Disneyland for its 35th anniversary.
Despite the deal falling through, the hosts reimagine what could have been, designing a new Muppet-themed ride that incorporates thrilling elements and interactive experiences. They discuss how the ride would fit into the existing park layout and bring the charm and chaos of The Muppets to life.
Tune in for a nostalgic and imaginative look at a piece of Disney history that almost was, complete with their unique "Idiot" spin. Whether you're a Muppets fan or a Disney enthusiast, this episode is sure to entertain and spark your imagination
