/* Attraction History */
Shortly after Henson's death, frequent collaborator Frank Oz took over directing duties on Muppets 3D <ref name= "Korkis"/>. With negotiations between Disney and the Henson estate breaking down however, the Henson family asked everyone working on the film on their side to stop. According to Mark Eades, Disney Imgagineering then had to complete the film alone:
{{Quotation| we "We had to finish the film, including all the Waldo CGI, much of which was added as a result of the new stuff, without them, including all the performers. We had already done the looping so we had all the dialog."}}
On May 19, 1991 however a confidential settlement was reached between the two parties<ref name= "Seattle"/> . As part of the agreement, Disney was allowed to continue their development of the 3D Muppet attraction, and they were given merchandising rights for 18 months<ref name= "Seattle"/> . Henson's son Brian, felt that releasing the Muppet 3D film would be a fitting tribute to his father <ref name= "Korkis"/>. Although in the end the Muppets would come to Disney-MGM Studios, the plans for integration were drastically cut back. Instead of Muppet Movieland, Disney instead constructed the 3D theater and a Muppet area surrounding it<ref name= "Martin"/>. Finally, on May 16, 1991 Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 3D opened to guests <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/May16.html </ref>.
