For Disney, he wrote four original songs for the 2011 musical comedy film The Muppets, the first being "Life's a Happy Song".

He also won an for the song "Man or Muppet".
In an interview for the Los Angeles Times, McKenzie revealed that he taught Chris Cooper how to rap, got in an argument with Miss Piggy in a recording session over how to sing a song, and that his daughter would ask him in the morning, "Off to work, Daddy? Muppets?", with her considering Kermit a friend of her father's. He considered the whole experience "awesome" and went on to say, "When I was recording Kermit doing 'Rainbow Connection', it was a strange 'I've made it' moment working with the A-list."
McKenzie returned as a music supervisor for the 2014 sequel film Muppets Most Wanted.
