I still want the Muppet D&D movie, where the Muppets are playing at the table and human actors (voiced by the muppets) represent them during the action.
The Sound of Music
The Princess Bride.
Kermit - Westley
Miss Piggy - Buttercup
Gonzo - Inigo
Fozzie - Fezzik
Rizzo - Vizzini
Uncle Deadly - Count Rugen
Dr Bunsen - Miracle Max
Beaker - Valerie
Sam - the Impressive Clergyman
Swedish Chef - the Albino
Rowlf - Grandpa/NarratorFred Savage would reprise his original role. Humperdinck would be played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
“Anybody want a peanut? Waka waka!”
…
Schindlers List…
I am very sorry.
I reallllly want a Muppet version of Die Hard. Gonzo as John McClane, Animal as Karl, Bert as Hans Gruber, Cookie Monster as Sgt. Powell. I want it played completely straight (not a comedic Muppet version, but a straight ahead remake). I want it so bad.
Yes! DH but almost anything played straight as a change would be brilliant!
Every movie is a muppet movie waiting to happen.
“No Country for Old Men”, with the killer played by Sam the blue eagle.
“Brokeback Mountain”, with Kermit and Foxzie Bear playing the leads, no human roles.
Rowlf as the unexpected lead in “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Fistful of Dollars”, and “Fistful of Dollars”. In Lawrence of Arabia, only the other British soldiers are played by humans. In the Spaghetti Westerns, the only humans are the women.
“Smokey and the Bandit”, with Kermit as the Bandit, Rowlf as the trucker, the bride played by a real person, Miss Piggie as Smokey, and Fozzi Bear as the groom/deputy.
“The Blues Brothers”, starring Kermit and Fozzi as Elwood and Jake. All the other characters are Muppets, but the bands are played by real blues musicians.
“Brazil”: Kermit as Sam Lowry, Robert Dinero reprising his role as “human” Tuttle, Miss Piggy as Sam’s mother, and Jill Layton played by the only other human.
Except for Animal, who’s playing the drums
Oh, this has been in the back of my mind for years!

“I remember doing the time warp. Wocka Wocka!”
Minions where beaker plays every minion (never actually seen minions lol)
Lord of the Rings (I suppose is a classic by now) Ian McKellen is still Gandalf (a la Michael Cain) and Sauron is muppetfied

Okay, but only if there’s a scene with Sweetums devouring an entire basket of tomatoes.
Every Best Picture Winner Ranked by How Good a Muppets Version Would Be
“Imagine this. Kermit the Frog in his little Columbo jacket and tiny fedora, backed up by Fozzy, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, and Rizzo. What are they doing? Uncovering the sexual abuse crimes of the catholic church. Billion dollar box-office.”
That articles okay. But, man my guy only talks about Kermit and literally no one else.
Miss Piggy would have to be the lead in the Wizard of Oz. And while we’re at it, I reckon she’d also be a good 00 agent, I’m sure the spy who loved cookies could also make a cameo. https://youtu.be/Yz9u-oG3BgM
The Wizard of Oz would be a great one. How’s this for a cast?
Miss Piggy - Dorothy
Rizzo - Toto
Scooter - Scarecrow
Gonzo - Tin Man
Fozzie - Cowardly Lion
Janice - Glinda
Pepe - Wicked Witch of the West
Kermit - the WizardI’m in, it needs more chickens. Can tell if they’re a better fit as munchkins or flying monkeys.
Tough call. On one hand, having Pepe creating “flying chickens” would be a great gag. On the other hand, having a chorus of chickens bawking out the lollipop guild song… tough call.
I think I know how to solve this. Fraggles & Doozers.
Memento.
Kermit as Jake and Fozzy as Elwood Blues.
Miss Piggy can have the Carrie Fisher role.
Passion of the Christ.
Kermit - Jesus
Miss Piggy - Mary Magdalene
Fozzie - Peter
Scooter - Matthew
Rowlf - Mark
Sam Eagle - Luke
Doctor Honeydew - John
Gonzo - Judas
Swedish Chef - Pontius Pilate
Statler and Waldorf - the Jewish elders who condemn Jesus.
Crazy Harry and Beaker - The two thieves crucified with Jesus.I’d love to see muppets do Hellraiser. Kermi has such sights to show you. YAAAAAAAYYYY.
