The former Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been gutted to prepare for its transformation into Harryhausen’s from Monsters, Inc. Many Muppets Courtyard buildings had been stripped to their studs, including the facade of the former restaurant. It is now clear that much of the building’s exterior walls have been removed and the interior gutted, though the Mona Lisa mural on the side of the building remains visible. Drywall has been installed across the theater facade where brickwork was removed, and a brown sealant has been added over it. These areas will receive new decorations, including a brand-new marquee, as the theater that once held MuppetVision 3D will be renamed The Glob. An opening timeframe for Monstropolis has not been announced, and PizzeRizzo is also expected to be re-themed as part of the construction.
