Schindlers List…
I am very sorry.
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!”
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!
Memento.
Minions where beaker plays every minion (never actually seen minions lol)
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.
Kermit as Jake and Fozzy as Elwood Blues.
Miss Piggy can have the Carrie Fisher role.
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.
Inglorious Bastards
There is not a single movie that isn’t better with Muppets.
The Passion of Christ
Lol I see now I’m late to the party to suggest this one
I’d love to see muppets do Hellraiser. Kermi has such sights to show you. YAAAAAAAYYYY.
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
“I remember doing the time warp. Wocka Wocka!”
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
Okay, but only if there’s a scene with Sweetums devouring an entire basket of tomatoes.
Arabian Nights “Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp” (Not Disney’s Aladdin) Gonzo and Fozzy could be the Genie’s Note I say Genie’s plural because in the original Arabian Knights story, there are two. He has one that he can summon from a ring that in the Disney adaptation became the carpet and the other from the lamp that’s “The second more powerful Genie” Source for the uninformed
Other than that, I could see Aladdin being human or Kermit, and Rizzo being the “Abu character / friend” Miss Piggy could be the princess character or she could be another human
