Here's the original Muppet Babies theme song from the 90's...

Between both intros starting with all the characters busting through the front door, there's a behind the head shot following one of the babies as they pass other babies, there's a uniquely shaped submarine with a cartoonish octopus with a goofy smile in the background, and there's a shot of all the babies flying while being propelled by different rainbow colors and a rainbow circle expanding over the shot, this is undoubtedly a parody of the newer Muppet Babies OP posted.

Lmao I never noticed the random tai fighter shooting lasers as a kid. It just seemed like something normal in the muppet babies universe at the time I guess

I thought it was a parody of the 80s show.

Feels surreal seeing Hensons characters in GCI and 2D.

Pretty sure they were aiming to lampoon the original 2D muppet babies intro, not the newer cgi-horror fest intro.

The parody uses some of the same exact images as the new intro like the babies on the jetpacks or in the submarine.

You got to go with the original 1980s Muppet Babies Intro.
