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.
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.
There were other pigs who played Miss piggy’s sisters in the Muppet Christmas carol.
Daughters.

The Passion of Christ
Lol I see now I’m late to the party to suggest this one
There is not a single movie that isn’t better with Muppets.
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.
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
Minions where beaker plays every minion (never actually seen minions lol)
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.
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.

Schindlers List…
I am very sorry.
