What stories or other classic movies would you like to see done by the Muppets. Who would be cast in each part?

Oh, this has been in the back of my mind for years!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show:

• Kermit and Piggy as Brad and Janet
• Gonzo as Frank’n’Furter
• Statler and Waldorf as Magenta and Columbia
• Fozzy - Riff Raff
• Animal - Rocky
• Scooter - Eddie
• Bunsen Honeydew - Dr Scott

Lord of the Rings (I suppose is a classic by now) Ian McKellen is still Gandalf (a la Michael Cain) and Sauron is muppetfied

Kermit = Frodo

Fozzie Bear = Sam

Gonzo = Merry

Rizzo = Pippen

Ms Piggy = Eowyn

Animal = Gollum

Doctor Teeth = Gimli

Janice = Legolas

Beaker = Arwen

Doctor Honeydew = Elrond

Swedish Chef = Saruman

Sam the Eagle = Faramir

Rowlf = Aragorn

Sweetums = Theoden

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

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.

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.

"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."

Kermit as Jake and Fozzy as Elwood Blues.

Les Miserables, but it wouldn't work.

You would need enough female Muppets for, at minimum:

Cosette, Fantine, Madame Thenardier, and Eponine. You could get away with casting the entire convent with penguins, I guess.

But you run out of female Muppets surprisingly quickly. It's Miss Piggy, Janice, Camilla, and that's more or less it. Camilla can only make chicken noises, and even then, Fantine and Cosette need to be cast as believably related to each other, as do Madame Thenardier and Eponine.

Then there's the problem of Gavroche. The most likely casting would be Robin. You gonna kill Robin?

And the natural choice for Javert is Sam the Eagle, who would never play a Frenchman.

The Passion of Christ
