   Thank you very much, Steve! That is an perfect attraction, no, its better than perfect. Its mupperfect!
   I already sent you an e-mail with some questions, but here they go again:

   1. Is there any place that I can find the version of The Muppet Show theme song that is played on the attraction?

   2. Who voices Waldo C. Graphic? Did he appeared in any episode of The Muppet Show? Did Wayne Allwine voice Mickey at the end? (Hey, if he had a Muppet version of himself, it should be a pig called Wayne Allswine.)

   3. It is true that this attraction is getting updated?

   Thanks!

   “Mupperfect”…I like that!

   As far as your questions go, I don’t know of a “clean” version of that theme song used in the attraction, apart from the music I use for Muppet Trivia in the podcasts. If you want a copy of that, I can direct you to a place where you can get it.

   Who performs Waldo? That would be Steve Whitmire. Incredibly talented guy, no?

   And it is rumored that MuppetVision will be going under refurb sometime soon. Nobody outside of Disney knows when that will be, but this podcaster says the sooner the better. I love MV3D, and will love it even more once the film is digitized, the special effects are improved, and the wall projections actually look convincing again 🙂

   You just forgot to tell me if Waldo appeared at The Muppet Show and if Wayne Allswine, I mean, Allwine, voiced Mickey Mouse at one of the best cameos ever. Just to fill in, here are my Top 10 Favorite Scenes from The Show, make one too:

   1. “Nah nah nah nah nah nah, you couldn’t hit me with a- *eyes pops out* CANNON? Hey everybody, he’s got a cannon!”

   2. “Do we have time to go to the bathroom before the next show?”

   3. “We can’t you old fool, we’re bolted into the seats!”

   4. “Fozzie, thats terrible!”
   “You’re right! Needs more sugar.”

   5. “Sam, are you ready?”
   “Just for a glorious 3 hour finale!”
   “You got a minute and a half!”
   “OOOOH!”

   6. “Oooh! Aahhh! Ow!”
   “Enjoying the fireworks?”
   “No, your chair is on my foot!”

   7. “I have the great honor of presenting Mr. Mickey Mouse!”
   “Oh, tatatatataratara! Hello, hi there, welcome to my park, how you’re doing… hello…”
   “Wowowowow.”
   “What?”
   “You are not Mickey Mouse, you are a rat!”
   “Rat shmat, besides, they’re tourists… What do they know?”
   “Will you get out of here?!”
   “Ok, but do I still get my ten bucks?”
   “Get out!”
   “I got Donald Duck back here…”
   “Will you get out too?!”

   8. “Great! Now I can start my own footbal team!”

   9. “Hey Bear, you are not even funny in 3D!”
   “Oh, not you guys, how did you get in here?”
   “We entered a contest!”
   “Yeah! We lost!”

   10. “Oh, sorry, wait, dont shoot! Duck everybody, duck!”
   “Quack quack!”
   “No, not YOU, THEM!”

   Also, I would love the place to get the music.

   Waldo never appeared in The Muppet Show, however he did appear in an episode of the Jim Henson Hour (and was at that time briefly performed by Jim himself). To my knowledge, Mickey Mouse was voice by Wayne A. in the film.

   Love those quotes! There are dozens and dozens of great lines from both the pre-show and the attraction film. As far as obtaining the official MuppetVision 3D music, I can only parrot what my Disney podcaster compatriots tend to say: Google Is Your Friend.

   Will you mention this mupperfect episode on the podcast?
   Also, more questions about MuppetVision 3D:

   1. The actors who perform Sweetums, they are trained by Disney or The Jim Henson Company?

   2. It is true that the Bean Bunny animatronic doesn’t moves his mouth?

   3. If you would change only one thing on the show, what would it be?

   Thanks!

   1. I think the Sweetums training procedures were set up by Henson, but the performers are trained by Disney.

   2. It is true. I hope that changes with the refurb but I’m not holding my breath. He’s far enough up the wall that most people won’t notice it.

   3. I would really like to see that film upgraded to a clear, digital pictures ASAP.
