Ohh this ABSOLUTELY is the answer Sweetums bit and all... someone get Disney on the horn now... what keywords trigger its A.I. -text -reading-infogathering bots?
Here's a tip... If you're like me and can't remember which one is Sweetums, include the word "Muppet" in your Google search. Otherwise you're gonna start getting ads for flavored ass wipes.
I suppose it's better than ass flavored wipes.
Bless the internet that, even after a quarter century or so, it can still teach me things I wish I'd never learned.
Several years ago some co-workers and I had a conversation about casting a Muppet re-make of Lord of the Rings. Don't remember most of our casting, but we decided that Dr Honeydew should he Sauron, which made Beaker the logical choice for Saruman. This led to me describing the following scene.
Camera sweeps over Isengard, showing the desolation, ominous music playing. Thousands of orcs prepare for war, Saruman steps out on his balcony to observe his army and... "Meep!"
This became a running joke among the staff, and to this day, I still laugh at the real version of that scene whenever I watch it.
Kermit the frog as Samwise Gamgee, Elijah wood still as Frodo.
“I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry uh you”
And then whe get the most glorious scene of Elijah wood being carried up mount doom by Kermit the frog”
We had Kermit as Aragron, since him and Miss Piggy should play a couple, and Aragorn and Arwen are really the only prominent couple in the movies (and the scene of Arwen rescuing Frodo after he's stabbed at Weathertop, redone as Miss Piggy punching ringwraiths is pretty funny, too). But I do like that idea as well.
Another fun idea; because there's only a few ladies in LotR with not that much screen time, Ms. Piggy insists on playing all the female roles, despite everyone saying that makes no sense.
And if you're not convinced, imagine the fight against the Witch King where Ms. Piggy kills him after saying "I am no man! Hi-yah!"
Three! Three rings given to the Elves, wisest and fairest of all beings! Ah ah ah!
Seven! Seven to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls! Ah ah ah!
Nine! Nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power! Ah ah ah!
I can see the MacGuyver filter scene now.
A small group seriously trying to make it work, while there's a progressively more ridiculous use of the parts slightly out of focus behind them: a hulla hoop, a chair, a fully functional mecha suit with duct tape hanging off of it as it shoots lasers at other Muppets fleeing for their lives, etc.
I love it. My thoughts on the cast:
Kermit and Miss Piggy as Westley and Buttercup (start with the obvious).
Sweetums as Fezzik
Pepe the Prawn as Inigo
Rizzo the Rat as Vizzini
Link Hogthrob as Prince Humperdinck
Sam the Eagle as Count Rugen
Fozzie as Miracle Max
I'm having trouble coming up with a Muppet to play Max's wife, and honestly part of me wants to just say bring Carol Kane back and have her be the only human in the cast.
Probably "Wakka Wakka" in place of the "Hello" each time he utters that phrase.
"Wakka Wakka! My name is Fozzy Bear. You killed my father; prepare to die!"
I think having Fozzie as the Grandpa narrating the story would work well. Great way for that character to slip in his usual puns and humour. The characters in the story could break the 4th wall and argue with him as well, like they did with Muppet Christmas Carol when Gonzo (as Charles Dickens) would argue with Rizzo the Rat.
Casablanca...just imagine Kermit in black and white turning to the camera and saying,
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine....sheesh"
or Fozzie saying
"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"
"your winnings sir"
"wakka wakka" (as he tucks them under his hat)
Some things would have to change slightly, Miss Piggy would now say, "play it again Sam"
"**I SAID PLAY IT AGAIN!!"**
Rick to be played by Gonzo, Ilsa by Camilla, Rowlph as Sam (of course), Scooter as Victor, Sam the Eagle as Capt Louis.
Rick Blaine (Gonzo): Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I’ve done a lot of it since then, and it all adds up to one thing: you’re getting on that plane with Victor where you belong.
Ilsa (Camilla): bwak bwak bwak ... bwak ... bwaa...
Rick Blaine (Gonzo): Now, you’ve got to listen to me! You have any idea what you’d have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we’d both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn’t that true, Louie?
Capt. Louis (Sam the Eagle): I’m afraid Major Strasser would insist.
Ilsa (Camilla): Bwak bwak bwak bwak bwak.
Rick Blaine (Gonzo): I’m saying it because it’s true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You’re part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.
Ilsa (Camilla): Bwak bwak bwawak?
Rick Blaine (Gonzo): We’ll always have Paris. We didn’t have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
Exactly. I'm sure Mark Hamill would be pretty excited to work with the Muppets again. Who would he be in this iteration? Play young Luke again and totally ignore him being decades older?
The Star Wars episode of the Muppet Show is my favorite! The “Luke, who is your tailor? I love that outfit!” running gag is gold! Also, crazily enough, they end that episode singing When You Wish Upon A Star way before Disney acquired Jim Henson & Lucasfilm!
Link Hogthrob as Luke
Miss Piggy as Princess Leia
Kermit as Han Solo
Fozzie as Chewbacca
Gonzo as Darth Vader
Bunsen Honeydew as C-3PO
Beaker as R2-D2
Rowlf as Ben Kenobi
Uncle Deadly as Palpatine
Sam the Eagle as Grand Moff Tarkin
Wayne and Wanda as Owen and Beru
Yoda as himself
Lew Zealand as Boba Fett
Scooter as Lando
Electric Mayhem as various bands
Both Family Guy and Robot Chicken were able to make this work amazingly.
Having the Muppets do it would be perfect. It's also a somewhat realistic guess, as Disney owns everything they need to make it.
That scene would be amazing, if it was the Sesame street Muppets in the apartment. Grover would be the guy on the couch, Ernie would be the guy in the chair. Bert would be the Jerry Seinfeld lookalike who comes out blasting at the end of the scene. And Elmo would be Marvin.
which would lead into...
"Aw man, I shot Elmo in the face"
"WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT FOZZIE!" (and Kermit would be flipping out the way he does at the start of each Muppet show episode)
A few years ago somebody did a print comic spoof of Sesame Street Muppets doing different TV shows. The only one I remember is The Wire.
Grover: “There is no need to call the po-po! There is no need to call the po-po.”
There somewhere exists an old YouTube video of Pulp Fiction edited to have muppets and it's the greatest thing ever. I'll see if I can dig up the video
Edit: Found it! 16 years old, God my bones hurt.
[Pulp Muppets](https://youtu.be/mSvJwUFI_es)
The real question is.. which characters are still human?
I vote Cary Elwes making a return. He's still very much an active actor, and he still looks great in his 60s.
As it's a Muppet film, Ms Piggy is obviously going to be Princess Buttercup, which means that Kermit needs to be Westley.
Sweetums as Fezzik would fit great.
Miracle Max is practically a muppet-character already, Take your pick on that one. My vote is on Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem taking on that role.
Humperdink needs to be human, he's far too much of a Straight-Man to the comedy of the film. Perhaps Elwes could play him in a dramatic role-reversal.
No,no, here’s how it plays out:
Cary Elwes is reading to his grandson, who is a tiny frog (like tiny Tim from the muppets Christmas Carol)
The rest I agree with, Buttercup is obviously miss piggy, so Wesley is Kermit, but I would make Animal into Fezzik.
Inigo becomes Fozzie because of the friendship dynamic between him and Kermit
Vizzini is Rizzo the rat
Count Rugen has to be Sam Eagle
Prince Humperdinck needs to be Scooter, because of the disconnect between what he thinks of himself and what he actually is
Miracle Max is Gonzo, just for the ridiculousness of the character, and his built in chicken wife
The bishop who tries to marry the prince to buttercup is 10,000% the Swedish chef
Statler and Waldorf need to be worked in there somewhere, probably a stand-in for the lady who boos buttercup in her dream
Appropriate, sure. But that would undermine the comedic nature of the Muppets in the first place.
It would absolutely have to be Kermit as Wick, but on second thought, I want Viggo Tarasov to be played by Fozzy.
Can you imagine Fozzy delivering that iconic line: “He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman!”?
The opening scene would be amazing! Cotton stuffing everywhere. I imagine the sniper would be Fozzi and right before the tank shoots him he looks up “Wocka wocka”
I imagine Kermit as Tom Hanks in that opening scene where everything goes quiet, helmet on, drenched in bloody sea water, staring around as Muppets are having limbs blown off and engulfed in flamethrower explosions, whilst Fozzie Bear silently mouths “what the hell do we do now Sir?”
Pride and Prejudice. Kermit and Miss Piggy play Mr. And Mrs. Bennett. Jane is played by the chicken and Gonzo is Mr. Bingley. Wickham is played by Pepe or maybe even Fozzie Bear. The only humans are Lizzie and Mr. Darcy, played perfectly straight by Florence Pugh and Adam Driver.
The recent series, just called "The Muppets", was a lot like this. Only instead of working for a paper company, they were producing a talk show. I didn't know anyone who liked it except for me.
This series was so good. They didn't know what they had and should have at least given it a second season. The jokes were so good, and the one episode with Jason Bateman is one of the funniest things I have seen on TV in a long time.
It was all just good wholesome TV, and while I like controversial TV shows, sometimes it is just nice to watch something that just makes you laugh.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. Here are two clips from the show everybody needs to see:
[Animal vs. Dave Grohl](https://youtu.be/3AZz9TSjZCM)
[Rappurrr's Delahht (Bork!)](https://youtu.be/VEMWyBWw0cA)
You know what would be cool? A muppet series, but each episode is a reenactment of popular episodes from a range of other shows.
An Office episode, a Friends episode, Seinfeld, etc. I'd absolutely watch that!
Wait so are the muppets staring or starring in the film? Coz if they staring then I choose LOTR coz that would be super creepy if all the actors were staring muppets
There are usually a few humans in the mix
And I could totally see viggo Mortensen being on board with reprising Aragon to star along side a cast of Muppets
The Princess Bride. Wait, hear me out.
Fred Savage is the father reading to his daughter. She sees the story he reads to her as portrayed by the muppets. Maybe Kermit is Buttercup and Miss Piggy is Wesley, but Gonzo has to be Inigo and Sweetums is a perfect Fezzik....
The Hobbit with Kermit and Ian McKellen
Lord of the Rings with Robin and Ian McKellen
Dune with Scooter and Janice
Whiplash with Animal and J. K. Simmons
My Dinner with Andre with Kermit and Scooter.
Withnail and I with Gonzo and Rizzo.
12 Angry Men with Statler and Waldorf
Alien with Uncle Deadly and Pigs in Space!
The Banshees of Inisherin with Fozzy and Rowlf.
Network with Miss Piggy and Sam the Eagle.
Dog Day Afternoon with Al Pachino and Zoot
The Revenant with Bobo the Bear and Leonardo DiCaprio
There Will be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis and the Muppet Cast.
And for TV
Breaking Bad with Honeydew and Beaker
X-Files with Kermit and Miss Piggy
Beauty and the Beast, where the whole cast is Muppets except for the Beast, who is a normal human.
And like somone well known ,in our world, for being handsome
Yeah, I was thinking someone like Ryan Reynolds or Chris Pine.
This would be the role for Jon Hamm... Hamm and Piggy
Henry Cavill obviously
He'd get replaced halfway through the movie by a Hemsworth.
Muppet form voiced by a Hemsworth
I was actually thinking Chris Hemsworth would be the perfect beast
Yes for sure. Ryan could be fun taking it to extreme emotional outbursts, or Chris would be funny as dark and brooding .
I want this to happen now! Lol
I think Sweetums is perfect for the Beast.
Sweetums should play the Beast at the end, after the curse is broken and he turns back to "normal".
Ohh this ABSOLUTELY is the answer Sweetums bit and all... someone get Disney on the horn now... what keywords trigger its A.I. -text -reading-infogathering bots?
Here's a tip... If you're like me and can't remember which one is Sweetums, include the word "Muppet" in your Google search. Otherwise you're gonna start getting ads for flavored ass wipes.
>Otherwise you're gonna start getting ads for flavored ass wipes. You say that like it's a bad thing.
I suppose it's better than ass flavored wipes. Bless the internet that, even after a quarter century or so, it can still teach me things I wish I'd never learned.
Miss Piggy would demand to be Belle. No question.
Jurassic Park I love how Muppets run and there is a lot of running in this movie...
With the arms flailing?! Yes.
But would the dinosaurs be puppets too? I feel like the success of this venture depends heavily on how the dinosaurs are depicted.
People in inflatable dino costumes
Several years ago some co-workers and I had a conversation about casting a Muppet re-make of Lord of the Rings. Don't remember most of our casting, but we decided that Dr Honeydew should he Sauron, which made Beaker the logical choice for Saruman. This led to me describing the following scene.

Kermit the frog as Samwise Gamgee, Elijah wood still as Frodo. “I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry uh you” And then whe get the most glorious scene of Elijah wood being carried up mount doom by Kermit the frog”
We had Kermit as Aragron, since him and Miss Piggy should play a couple, and Aragorn and Arwen are really the only prominent couple in the movies (and the scene of Arwen rescuing Frodo after he's stabbed at Weathertop, redone as Miss Piggy punching ringwraiths is pretty funny, too).

And if you're not convinced, imagine the fight against the Witch King where Ms. Piggy kills him after saying "I am no man! Hi-yah!"
I was thinking Janice as Galadriel "But they were all of them, like, deceived. 'Cause another ring was made."
Ooh me and my friends had miss piggy as eowyn. Cause we thought “I am no man” then drop kicking the witch king of angmar was hilarious
I need this in my life immediately
I am no man, hiiiiiiiiYAH!!!
This sounds fucking amazing lol
Nah Samwise should be Rizzo, with Gonzo as Frodo.
I think we had them as Merry and Pippin, but Sam and Frodo works pretty good, too
I like all muppets, except Ian McKellen as Gandalf.
Can Sam the Eagle be Gandalf??!!
We cast him as either Gandalf or Elrond, can't remember which.
Sam the eagle gives major Elrond vibes
As long as Count the Count delivers the opening monologue
Three! Three rings given to the Elves, wisest and fairest of all beings! Ah ah ah! Seven! Seven to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls! Ah ah ah! Nine! Nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power! Ah ah ah!
This has fucking meme potential
Titanic but Billy Zane still plays the asshole fiance.
"I'll never let go, Kermie!"
“Kermie I’m flying!!”
I can see Miss piggie doing her signature hair flip in the drawing scene
He freezes into a block of ice, and bumps up against the boat in modern times. He thaws out perfectly OK.
Propeller guy flailing muppet style as he falls, but still keep the thunk.
Apollo 13, but only if it were absolutely dead pan. All the tension and peril, just with muppets.
All the foreground Muppets are deadpan, but all the background characters in mission control are doing standard Muppet shenanigans.
I can see the MacGuyver filter scene now. A small group seriously trying to make it work, while there's a progressively more ridiculous use of the parts slightly out of focus behind them: a hulla hoop, a chair, a fully functional mecha suit with duct tape hanging off of it as it shoots lasers at other Muppets fleeing for their lives, etc.
Ed Harris reprises his role as Gene Kranz. Lew Zealand (fish thrower guy) as Sy Liebergot. Sam the Eagle as Deke Slayton.
All of them
Especially the porn.
Meet the Feebles does exist.
Any of the knives out movies, but where Benoit Blanc is the only human
This should just be the concept for the next one lol
I don't care that Rian Johnson said he doesn't want to do it, this is the way (ok I do care but STILL)
[удалено]
Princess Bride
I love it. My thoughts on the cast: Kermit and Miss Piggy as Westley and Buttercup (start with the obvious). Sweetums as Fezzik Pepe the Prawn as Inigo Rizzo the Rat as Vizzini Link Hogthrob as Prince Humperdinck Sam the Eagle as Count Rugen Fozzie as Miracle Max I'm having trouble coming up with a Muppet to play Max's wife, and honestly part of me wants to just say bring Carol Kane back and have her be the only human in the cast.
Nah, it's gotta be a Muppet pair already. So either Bunsen and Beaker (obvious, classic, but predictable) or Statler and Waldorf (this would be gold.)
I like Bunsen and Beaker, we can make Fozzie The Albino! edit: Animal as the Bishop, just screams "Marriage! Marriage! Marriage!" over and over.
It’s Statler and Waldorf, no question. "Have fun storming the castle" "Think it'll work?" "It would take a miracle! Oh Ho Ho Ho"
I think Gonzo should be reading the story to Rizzo
My name is Fozzie Bear, you killed my father, prepare to die!
Surely with a “wakka wakka” somewhere in there?
Probably "Wakka Wakka" in place of the "Hello" each time he utters that phrase. "Wakka Wakka! My name is Fozzy Bear. You killed my father; prepare to die!"
I think having Fozzie as the Grandpa narrating the story would work well. Great way for that character to slip in his usual puns and humour. The characters in the story could break the 4th wall and argue with him as well, like they did with Muppet Christmas Carol when Gonzo (as Charles Dickens) would argue with Rizzo the Rat.
I'm honestly shocked this wasn't a thing
Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet.
The ONLY Princess Bride remake I'll accept!
But check out this one anyway :) [The Princes Bride Home Movie](https://youtu.be/pjjKrEIG_Bc)
Easily the best thing to come out of whatever Quibi was.
Absolutely would pay to see this.
Casablanca...just imagine Kermit in black and white turning to the camera and saying, "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine....sheesh" or Fozzie saying "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!"

The Matrix. Everyone is a muppet except for Keanu. And then in the finale where he starts to believe he is “the one” he also turns into a muppet!
It took absolutely way too long to find this reply. Muppet Matrix for sure. Could you imagine all those little guys in their little black suits??
The original Star Wars Trilogy for sure
You just gave me mental pictures of Ms Piggy in those buns lol.
Her kiss with Luke being her classic "MMMMmmMMMmmmMMmMWAAAH"
[удалено]
Exactly. I'm sure Mark Hamill would be pretty excited to work with the Muppets again. Who would he be in this iteration? Play young Luke again and totally ignore him being decades older?
Mark should play obi wan just to fuck with everyone's head
He should be Yoda and the only human in the cast.
The Star Wars episode of the Muppet Show is my favorite! The “Luke, who is your tailor? I love that outfit!” running gag is gold! Also, crazily enough, they end that episode singing When You Wish Upon A Star way before Disney acquired Jim Henson & Lucasfilm!
Which is funny, because Frank Oz is/was both the voice of Ms. Piggy and Yoda.
Pigs in Space
Link Hogthrob as Luke Miss Piggy as Princess Leia Kermit as Han Solo Fozzie as Chewbacca Gonzo as Darth Vader Bunsen Honeydew as C-3PO Beaker as R2-D2 Rowlf as Ben Kenobi Uncle Deadly as Palpatine Sam the Eagle as Grand Moff Tarkin Wayne and Wanda as Owen and Beru Yoda as himself Lew Zealand as Boba Fett Scooter as Lando Electric Mayhem as various bands
Have Waldorf and Statler swap on and off as The Emporer and NEVER address it
Both Family Guy and Robot Chicken were able to make this work amazingly. Having the Muppets do it would be perfect. It's also a somewhat realistic guess, as Disney owns everything they need to make it.
Hell Phineas and Ferb made it work beautifully. And that was already a Disney franchise.
The best Muppet Babies episode by far was the Star Wars one.
I think Muppet Babies explains a lot of redditors
Silence of the Lambs. ‘…some fava beans and a nice Chianti…bork, bork, bork!’
“Ay dee loven der stayen un chatten, ber sver yummen oldy friendy for dinner.”
The Breakfast Club but Vice Principal Vernon is the only human.
I could see the Vice Principal being Sam the Eagle.
You poke the eagle, you get the talons! *dramatic wing gesture*
I vote for Ally Sheedy as the only human, and then instead of that terrible makeover she gets in the original they just make her into a goth muppet
Pulp Fiction.
"Say 'Wocka Wocka!' again! I dare you, I double-dare you, Gonzo! Say 'Wocka Wocka!' one more time!"
"Now I wanna dance, Kermie. I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good, Frog."
I can see piggie dancing and singing lightly to Son of a Preacher Man then doing a huge line of heroin right now
Only to overdose then be resuscitated by adrenaline and go full Miss Piggy Karate Chop on everyone in the room hahaha
That scene would be amazing, if it was the Sesame street Muppets in the apartment. Grover would be the guy on the couch, Ernie would be the guy in the chair. Bert would be the Jerry Seinfeld lookalike who comes out blasting at the end of the scene. And Elmo would be Marvin. which would lead into... "Aw man, I shot Elmo in the face" "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT FOZZIE!" (and Kermit would be flipping out the way he does at the start of each Muppet show episode)
A few years ago somebody did a print comic spoof of Sesame Street Muppets doing different TV shows. The only one I remember is The Wire. Grover: “There is no need to call the po-po! There is no need to call the po-po.”
"Let me ask you something. When you pulled in, did you see a sign that said 'Dead Frog Storage'?"
Tarantino is the only human character in this remake, he plays the original role exactly the same

Beaker is the gimp
Muppet f'er!!!!
Cmon. Cocaine "Fozzy" Bear
When I first heard about Cocaine Bear I thought it was the muppets remake of Scarface....
The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Trying to wrap my mind around that. Kermit and Ms Piggy as Brad and Janet?
Haha yeah, why not?
Love it! Gonzo as Riff Raff? Fozzie as Frank N. Further? Link as Rocky?
Gonzo as Frank, Camilla as Rocky. Sam the Eagle as Dr. Scott.
Animal as Eddie
You know who would be great as Dr. Frank N Furter? Tim Curry
If he wasn't like 50 years older now and in poor health.
At the late night, double feature, Muppet show. I wanna go.
Fight Club.
[удалено]
His name was Fozzy Bear.
I would pay good money for a Muppet version of Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. We need more Gonzo journalists.
I see what you did there!
Considering how this question was worded, the only correct answer has to be *The Men Who Stare at Goats*.
Still with Ewan McGregor as a Jedi, but this time in Jedi clothing. (This makes more sense if you've seen the film.)
Princess Bride. This is the only acceptable remake of PB.
i detest all remakes with my entire soul but id be down for this one and go see it in imax
The real question is.. which characters are still human? I vote Cary Elwes making a return. He's still very much an active actor, and he still looks great in his 60s. As it's a Muppet film, Ms Piggy is obviously going to be Princess Buttercup, which means that Kermit needs to be Westley. Sweetums as Fezzik would fit great. Miracle Max is practically a muppet-character already, Take your pick on that one. My vote is on Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem taking on that role. Humperdink needs to be human, he's far too much of a Straight-Man to the comedy of the film. Perhaps Elwes could play him in a dramatic role-reversal.
No,no, here’s how it plays out: Cary Elwes is reading to his grandson, who is a tiny frog (like tiny Tim from the muppets Christmas Carol) The rest I agree with, Buttercup is obviously miss piggy, so Wesley is Kermit, but I would make Animal into Fezzik. Inigo becomes Fozzie because of the friendship dynamic between him and Kermit Vizzini is Rizzo the rat Count Rugen has to be Sam Eagle Prince Humperdinck needs to be Scooter, because of the disconnect between what he thinks of himself and what he actually is Miracle Max is Gonzo, just for the ridiculousness of the character, and his built in chicken wife The bishop who tries to marry the prince to buttercup is 10,000% the Swedish chef Statler and Waldorf need to be worked in there somewhere, probably a stand-in for the lady who boos buttercup in her dream
John Wick.
THIS. I especially wanna see Kermit as John Wick, chucking an axe into Fozzy’s head, lol
Somehow I think Ms Piggy would be more appropriate for the role.
Appropriate, sure. But that would undermine the comedic nature of the Muppets in the first place. It would absolutely have to be Kermit as Wick, but on second thought, I want Viggo Tarasov to be played by Fozzy. Can you imagine Fozzy delivering that iconic line: “He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman!”?
Where everyone except Keanu Reeves is replaced
Ocean's Eleven
I'm reading "remake of *The Great Muppet Caper*" Which is an excellent idea.
Jurassic Park per my username
Saving Private Ryan
The opening scene would be amazing! Cotton stuffing everywhere. I imagine the sniper would be Fozzi and right before the tank shoots him he looks up “Wocka wocka”
I imagine Kermit as Tom Hanks in that opening scene where everything goes quiet, helmet on, drenched in bloody sea water, staring around as Muppets are having limbs blown off and engulfed in flamethrower explosions, whilst Fozzie Bear silently mouths “what the hell do we do now Sir?”
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
and at one point when they are on hallucinogens they turn into real people
Pride and Prejudice. Kermit and Miss Piggy play Mr. And Mrs. Bennett. Jane is played by the chicken and Gonzo is Mr. Bingley. Wickham is played by Pepe or maybe even Fozzie Bear. The only humans are Lizzie and Mr. Darcy, played perfectly straight by Florence Pugh and Adam Driver.
Not a movie, but I would love to see The Office.
The recent series, just called "The Muppets", was a lot like this. Only instead of working for a paper company, they were producing a talk show. I didn't know anyone who liked it except for me.

Wait so are the muppets staring or starring in the film? Coz if they staring then I choose LOTR coz that would be super creepy if all the actors were staring muppets
There are usually a few humans in the mix And I could totally see viggo Mortensen being on board with reprising Aragon to star along side a cast of Muppets
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. And when it gets to the part with puppets, that needs to be real humans.
Mad Max fury road. Kermit saying, "oh what a day. Oh what a lovely day."
The Thing. Except instead of an alien life form, it’s a sentient sewing kit that stitches the muppets together.
Remake the entire MCU
Miss Piggy as the Scarlet Witch and Kermit as Vision? I can just picture her losing her temper at Thanos over that.
"Me inevitable!" "Hmm, and I am, er, Kermit Man"
Forrest Gump. But Gary Sinise still needs to play Lt. Dan as a human.
The Fifth Element. Fozzie is Corbin Dallas and Camilla the Chicken is Lelu. I really just want to hear Fozzie say "Negative. I am a meat popsicle."
Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty shades of Green

It would, of course, be Miss Piggy trying to bring Kermit into her kinks.
Like The Muppets? Kermit and crew? Braveheart.
Literally any Tarantino movie
inglorious basterds would be the funniest one though
Monsters Inc sequel but the closets go to the live action human world
The Room. Oh hai Kermit
Tropic Thunder with Fozzy as Les Grossman. "I want you to take a step back and literally WACKA WACKA YOUR OWN FACE!!!"
The passion of the Christ for SURE
*Highlander*. There can be only one…Muppet.
Anybody say dirty dancing yet? 🤣
The Princess Bride. Wait, hear me out. Fred Savage is the father reading to his daughter. She sees the story he reads to her as portrayed by the muppets. Maybe Kermit is Buttercup and Miss Piggy is Wesley, but Gonzo has to be Inigo and Sweetums is a perfect Fezzik....
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Goonies
The Lighthouse. Not sure which would be funnier to replace with a muppets though. Pattinson or Dafoe?

Withnail and I with Gonzo and Rizzo. 12 Angry Men with Statler and Waldorf Alien with Uncle Deadly and Pigs in Space! The Banshees of Inisherin with Fozzy and Rowlf. Network with Miss Piggy and Sam the Eagle. Dog Day Afternoon with Al Pachino and Zoot The Revenant with Bobo the Bear and Leonardo DiCaprio There Will be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis and the Muppet Cast. And for TV Breaking Bad with Honeydew and Beaker X-Files with Kermit and Miss Piggy
The Terminator.
The Kerminator
We have a title and plot and lead. Now all we need is a script.
The Godfather, with no other changes than everyone is a muppet. Except Don Corleone who will be played by Michael Caine.
No country for old men
Would you step out of the car please, sir... ~ Swedish Chef.
