The Muppets at Walt Disney World

The Muppets at Walt Disney World is a upcoming American film remake that will be directed by James Bobin and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is based on the 1990 TV special from The Magical World of Disney of the same name.

Summary
Kermit takes the gang for a family reunion at the Paradise Swamp in Orlando, Florida.

Plot
At the start of the film, Bob Iger talks about this special while in the presence of Fozzie Bear and his mother Emily. In the film, the Muppets are going to do a show in. When the others learn that the swamp is right next to Walt Disney World, they sneak in, and are pursued by a security guard named Quentin Fitzwaller (played by Paul Giamatti).

The attractions and areas are featured in Walt Disney World including Big Thunder Mountain, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, Star Tours, the Mad Tea Party, World Showcase, Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour, Spaceship Earth, The Great Movie Ride, Soarin' Over America, The Magic of Disney Animation, the Walt Disney World Pet Care Center, Rock n' Roller Coaster, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Expedition: Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, the Walt Disney World Monorail System and the utilidors. The film is notable for making the complete four parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom) seem like one connected area, despite the parks actually being apart from each other.

After the tour of Walt Disney World, the Muppets were having a friendly meeting at Mickey Mouse's office where the signature characters of Walt Disney and Jim Henson compare their companies' theme songs, "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Rainbow Connection" (sung by McKenna Grace to cheer up Kermit) respectively and the ideals behind them.

Differences between the film and the TV special

 * In the original 1990 special, Luncheon Counter Monster, Uncle Deadly, and Tug Monster only cameo in the pre-show, attacking Eisner's clothes.
 * In the original 1990 special, Animal chases Snow White while Quentin leads the Seven Dwarfs. In the movie, instead of Snow White, Animal chases Alice (in Wonderland) and instead of the Dwarfs, Quentin leads Foulfellow, Gideon, The Queen of Hearts, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Ratcliffe, Hades, Pain, Panic, Prince John, and Sherriff of Nottingham.
 * In the original 1990 special, some of the Country Bears, Bongo, Lulubelle, and Brer Bear give Emily Bear money after Fozzie's successful comedy act. In the movie, they are replaced by Twiddle Dee, Twiddle Dum, the Walrus, Pinocchio, Geppetto, Baloo, King Louie, Timon, Meeko, Terk, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Tigger, Eeyore, and the Seven Dwarfs Doc, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, and Dopey.

Trivia

 * The Muppet-like elephant and dragon puppets are built for this movie by the Jim Henson Creature Shop in New York. The elephant appears during the Jungle Cruise scene and a dragon appears in a dungeon during the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour scene.
 * Those who were from "Fraggle Rock" (including Sprocket), "Dog City", and "Jim Henson's Animal Show" are actually Henson Creature Shop puppets.
