PizzeRizzo Prop in 'The Muppet Show' Special with Sabrina Carpenter
A hidden gem from the now-defunct Muppets Courtyard in Disney's Hollywood Studios has been discovered in the recent 'The Muppet Show' revival special, which aired on ABC and Disney+ last week. The special, featuring Sabrina Carpenter, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic show and has received critical acclaim, earning a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The first Easter egg spotted was a Muppet Labs sign from MuppetVision 3D, a nod to the beloved attraction within Disney's Hollywood Studios. This discovery was shared by X user @Shishagumi, who credited @GIFsofPuppets for the find. The sign, once displayed inside PizzeRizzo, honored the fictional winners of the annual Pizza Eating Contest Hall of Fame.
PizzeRizzo, a beloved fixture in the Muppets Courtyard, was a stage-door plaque that paid tribute to the annual Pizza Eating Contest winners. With the closure of the Muppets Courtyard last summer, PizzeRizzo is now a part of Disney's history, as it is being transformed into Monstropolis, a new land inspired by the animated film 'Monsters, Inc.'
Despite the closure of the Muppets Courtyard, the Muppets will continue to be a part of Disney's Hollywood Studios. The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is undergoing a retheme, removing Aerosmith and adding Muppets characters and music. This transformation will bring the beloved Muppets to life once again, ensuring their legacy in the Disney parks.
The 'The Muppet Show' special has sparked excitement among fans, and its success could lead to a full revival of the show. With its 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and widespread acclaim, the special has left a lasting impression on audiences. As the special concludes, fans are left wondering what the future holds for the Muppets, leaving them eagerly anticipating more adventures.
