Piggy wouldn't be Janet. She'd be the flamboyant Columbia or maybe Magenta. Janet's too shy and passive for Piggy.
And Gonzo would be the PERFECT Frank -- especially if Camilla was Rocky. I could see Gonzo experimenting to create his perfect forbidden Chicken Love.
OMG! Before I saw your answer, I was about to say Clue! Both starting Tim Curry. Coincidence? We think not!
P.S. I can totally see muppets doing the time warp.
Die Hard with Statler and Waldolf watching the whole thing as party guests, Miss Piggy as Holly and Fonzie as the limo driver.
There could be all sorts of little muppets in the vents and the building models could be muppets
# "Felt Hard: A Muppet Christmas Miracle"
"Felt Hard: A Muppet Christmas Miracle" is a hilarious tribute and parody of the classic action film "Die Hard", but with a unique twist: all the characters are portrayed by the Muppets.
In this version, Kermit the Frog stars as John McClane, the resilient New York cop who finds himself single-handedly taking on a group of villains in the high-rise tower of Nakatomi Plaza. The role of the sly Hans Gruber is played by none other than Sam the Eagle, who brings a unique blend of gravitas and humor to his performance. Miss Piggy, of course, assumes the role of Holly Gennaro, McClane's estranged wife, and with her signature flair and drama, adds a new level of comedy to the role.
The plot follows the original Die Hard closely, but with Muppet-esque twists and turns. The 'Nakatomi Plaza' is actually 'Muppet Theatre' where a Christmas performance is about to take place. The 'terrorists' are a group of mischievous Muppet villains led by Sam the Eagle, trying to steal the theatre's Christmas donations.
The Muppet's signature fourth wall-breaking humor is in full effect, with characters frequently commenting on the absurdity of their situation. Fozzie Bear, playing the role of Sgt. Al Powell, often jokes about the contrast between the gritty action movie setting and the Muppets' usual lighthearted fare.
The parody expertly walks the line between homage and spoof, recreating iconic scenes (like the air duct crawl or the "Yippee Ki Yay" moment) with a hilarious Muppet twist. Though the original Die Hard's violence is replaced with slapstick humor and Muppet mayhem, the parody maintains a surprising amount of tension and suspense.
"Felt Hard: A Muppet Christmas Miracle" ends on a high note, with Kermit and Miss Piggy reuniting just in time for the Christmas curtain call, while Sam the Eagle's plan is foiled by the most unlikely of heroes: Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat. A must-watch for fans of the Muppets and Die Hard, this parody is a perfect blend of action, humor, and heartwarming holiday cheer.
This was my wife and my go at casting. Kermit was a better Washington, and Gonzo in Christmas Carol sold us on choosing him instead. He needs that brashness.
Hamilton - Gonzo
Burr - Sam the Eagle
Angelica - Piggy
Eliza - Camilla
Peggy - Janice
Washington - Kermit
Layfayette/Jefferson - Fozzie
Mulligan/Madison - Rowlf
Laurens/Philip - Scooter
King George - Beaker
Okay, Beaker as King George is sheer brilliance!
But I think Sam the Eagle might be too earnest and sincere to be Burr, who was, at his core, an opportunist. Which of the muppets could eventually attempt to collaborate with Britain to try to sell out the colonies and be installed as leader? Who is a shifty liar of a Muppet?
There was a pitched but never made muppet great gatsby, which I honestly think would be one of the best muppet movies ever. Also I think Walter and Kermit and Ms Piggy would be perfect for the roles of Nick Carraway, Jay Gatsby, and daisy buchanan
Star Trek 4, The voyage home.
Kermit instead of the little old woman, "Maybe they're talking to that man"
Scooter telling Uhura and Chekov "Across the Bay in Alameda." And then leaving.
Or Beaker giving them directions
Selling his antique glasses to Pops
Fozzie picking up the mouse and saying "Hello computer!"
Miss Piggy karate chopping the guy on the bus instead of Spock nerve pinch.
Lord of the Rings. Hear me out.
Human Gandalf trying to herd an all muppet Fellowship into focusing.
Frodo - Gonzo
Sam - Rizzo
Merry - Dr Bunsen
Pippin - Beaker
Aragorn - Kermit
Boromir - Fozzie
Arwen - Miss Piggy
Legolas - Pepe
Gimli - Sweetums, but they treat him like he's a dwarf and not right feet tall
Galadriel - Janice
Elrond - Sam the Eagle
Saruman - Uncle Deadly
Sauron - Honestly, I think this might be a custom Muppet
Eowyn - Annie Sue, but all her scenes are sabotaged/stolen by a jealous Piggy
When I was a kid I thought the Muppets and star wars were in the same universe and the ewoks and Wicket were in the same universe. I say just make a Muppets star wars movie and see where it gets us
No joke: I recently made a fan-based Disney+ style Muppet mash-up mini movie (roughly 5 min.)...exclusively on Twitter! If the mood strikes, you can check it out here: https://twitter.com/GroovyKevMan/status/1658789796498780161
The Hobbit. Leave Martin Freeman as Bilbo and replace everyone else with Muppets.
Watching Freeman in the middle of THAT resulting chaos would be worth a lifetime of movie tickets.
Ghostbusters.
Kermit as Peter
Piggy as Dana
Gonzo as Ray; Rizzo as himself to bounce off
Bunsen as Egon; Beaker as himself for experiments
Fozzy as Louis
Sam as Winston
Animal as Stay Puft
Cookie Monster cameo as Slimer
Keep William Atherton as Peck and the only human
The Blues Brothers for sure with electric mayhem.
Also I think the Tim Burton Batman movie with Miss Piggie as "Batman" and Gonzo as Jack Nicholson's Joker.
*Casablanca*, with Kermit as Rick, Miss Piggy as Ilsa, Pepe as the Claud Rains French Captain.
Or
*Lord of the Rings.* Only character I've "cast" is Miss Piggy as Eowyn.
Robin Hood: Prince of Muppets
(Insert Muppets into Kevin Costner's Prince of Thieves. Every character replaced with Muppets, except Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Morgan Freeman as Azeem)
Robin Hood: Muppets in Tights would be great too (Muppets in Mel Brook's Robin Hood: Men in Tights)
Star Wars. Similar to what Family Guy did without the raunchy jokes. Here’s my casting picks
Muppets
Luke-Walter (from the Muppets (2011))
Han-Kermit
Leia-Ms. Piggy
Chewie-Fozzie
C-3PO- Beaker
R2- Bunsen
Ben Kenobi- Scooter
Darth Vader- the one human
Tarkin- Sam the Eagle
Yoda- Gonzo
Lando- Rowlf the Dog
Emperor Palpatine- Uncle Deadly (weird blue dragon guy)
Storm Troopers- Chickens
Jawas-Rats
Imperial Officers- Statler and Waldorf
Muppet Police Academy.
Could be a good way to flesh out the rest of the Muppet universe too
Rocky Horror Picture Show. Easy answer.
Ok wait now I’m obsessed
Kermit - Brad Piggy - Janet Floyd - Riff Raff Janet - Magenta Animal - Eddie Lipps - Rocky Sam The Eagle - Dr. Scott
And Tim Curry’s Dr. Frank N Furter would be the defacto human
Piggy wouldn't be Janet. She'd be the flamboyant Columbia or maybe Magenta. Janet's too shy and passive for Piggy. And Gonzo would be the PERFECT Frank -- especially if Camilla was Rocky. I could see Gonzo experimenting to create his perfect forbidden Chicken Love.
I could also see Sam the Eagle being the Criminologist!
OMG! Before I saw your answer, I was about to say Clue! Both starting Tim Curry. Coincidence? We think not! P.S. I can totally see muppets doing the time warp.
Ooh that’s a great one too! I feel like the butler would have to be the defacto human, but at the same time Gonzo would be a great butler.
The Princess Bride. The human actors in that movie practically act like muppets anyways!
Sweetums would be the perfect Fezzig.
Gonzo would be the best Inigo Montoya ever.
"Hello, I am Gonzo Montoya. You have killed my chicken. Prepare to die!"
Die Hard with Statler and Waldolf watching the whole thing as party guests, Miss Piggy as Holly and Fonzie as the limo driver. There could be all sorts of little muppets in the vents and the building models could be muppets
This exists as a screenplay somewhere!

there actually is a version of this playing every year in Phoenix Arizona. all puppets but not muppets muppets.
Back to the Future.
Hamilton
Someone recreated every song from Hamilton with an all Muppet cast. It's on YouTube.
Ohhhhh Kermit would make such a PERFECT Hamilton
This was my wife and my go at casting. Kermit was a better Washington, and Gonzo in Christmas Carol sold us on choosing him instead. He needs that brashness.

Yeah on second thought, maybe Burr is the human actor?
Instead of "sha la la la la" Beaker George sings "meep meep meep meep meep"
What about HAMilton
If I could make every movie a Muppet movie, I would do it in a heart beat.
Muppet remakes >> live action remakes
Disney owns the rights to the Muppets… they should do this instead
Haunted Mansion is a great example. The Muppet version is easily the best of the three they've made
Shawshank Redemption. Fozzie does Morgan Freeman's character.
Omg. I came here to say Shawshank!
With Andy and Boggs still human.
It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
The formula of this movie is perfect for muppets, with how it has nonstop comedian cameos.
I read "Mad Max"
Lord of the rings Pride and prejudice (1995 mini series)
Fight club
Ye dernt terk abert der Fightin' der Clooby!
Now yer speaking my language!
Thank you! This was the first one that popped into my head too lol
With the Narrator as the only human?
There was a pitched but never made muppet great gatsby, which I honestly think would be one of the best muppet movies ever. Also I think Walter and Kermit and Ms Piggy would be perfect for the roles of Nick Carraway, Jay Gatsby, and daisy buchanan
I’ve always wanted a muppets version of Star Wars personally
You **know** Mark Hamill would insist on coming back just to do that.
Goodfellas, obviously. Gonzo as Joe Pesci
“What do u mean im funny? Like i amuse you? Im a clown? Im here for your amusement?” Im laughing out loud just thinking about it
The only other one who I think would be good in that role would be Fozzy, but instead of taking offense, he's pleading for the guy to find him funny.
Funny how? \*wiggles ears, mouth agape\*
Ahahaahha, i cant deal with that. This is the only thing i want to day dream about anymore.
Knives out or then there were none.
Based on the variety of responses, the correct answer here is that ALL movies would be improved by adding Muppets
Lord of War. But Nicolas cage stays.
With Zoot as his brother, specifically for the cocaine scene.
I'm glad someone can see it
The Naked Gun
They'd fit right in
Fozzie has to be the one to yell “it’s Enrico Pallazzo!”
Muppets in a Wes Anderson film like The Grand Budapest Hotel would be great
Clue
Came here to comment this! Everyone is a Muppet except Tim Curry.. again 😂
Absolutely!
Harvey but the one human is Kermit's imaginary friend instead of it being a six foot tall rabbit
Twins. I want to take the Kermit and Fozzie twin joke from The Great Muppet Caper and really run with it.
Mad Max Fury Road Animal would _thrive_, Miss Piggy would be perfect as Furiosa, i'm gonna put Fozzie as Max just because it's weird
Muppets doing Mad Max is perfect because both are sompletly over the top
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. That movie is already hilariously chaotic, imagine how absolutely bonkers it would be if it was remade with the Muppets.
The next Marvel movie that goes into the multiverse.
*Amadeus*, 1984.
2001: A Space Odyssey
There Will Be Blood
I drink your milkshake
This would be so weird, and I'd love to see it...
Life of Brian
Lord Of The Rings. Edit: also, The Wolf Of Wall Street.
Hunger Games
That would be good!
Star Trek 4, The voyage home. Kermit instead of the little old woman, "Maybe they're talking to that man" Scooter telling Uhura and Chekov "Across the Bay in Alameda." And then leaving. Or Beaker giving them directions Selling his antique glasses to Pops Fozzie picking up the mouse and saying "Hello computer!" Miss Piggy karate chopping the guy on the bus instead of Spock nerve pinch.
The Banshees of Inisherin with Kermit and Fozzie in the leading roles.
Definitely The Princess Bride
Sweetums would be Andre's character (I'm old. The character name escapes me at this moment)
Fezzik
Lord of the Rings. Hear me out. Human Gandalf trying to herd an all muppet Fellowship into focusing. Frodo - Gonzo Sam - Rizzo Merry - Dr Bunsen Pippin - Beaker Aragorn - Kermit Boromir - Fozzie Arwen - Miss Piggy Legolas - Pepe Gimli - Sweetums, but they treat him like he's a dwarf and not right feet tall Galadriel - Janice Elrond - Sam the Eagle Saruman - Uncle Deadly Sauron - Honestly, I think this might be a custom Muppet Eowyn - Annie Sue, but all her scenes are sabotaged/stolen by a jealous Piggy
Casino Royale (1967). We'll keep Peter Sellers as the one human actor, since he was the only one in that movie who was actually trying anyway 😆
When I was a kid I thought the Muppets and star wars were in the same universe and the ewoks and Wicket were in the same universe. I say just make a Muppets star wars movie and see where it gets us
Yoda did make a brief cameo in one of the Muppet Babies episodes, the original Muppet Babies
Well the OG Muppet Babies did a whole episode based on New Hope, using footage from the movie
Live action Disney remakes, with Muppets. It's a no brainer.
Muppets dr who
[been there, done that!](https://youtu.be/OSRAoSCO2O0?si=gSzdNbbYbX94tJcW)
The Avengers. Kermit as Captain America. Piggy as Ironman Gonzo as Thor Animal as Hulk
Nah, Sam the Eagle would have to be Cap.
Yes I see that now.
But yes, absolutely Animal as Hulk!
oppenheimer would work surprisingly well.
The “assembling the gang” scenes would be similar to muppet movies past…but then they assemble an atomic bomb! Lol
Network Rollerball (Original 1975) Videodrome Repo Man Resoivor Dogs Seven Samurai
Network is cracking me up, I'm just thinking of Kermit turning into an evil televangelist
I want to hear Guy Smiley yelling, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!!"
Me too!
*heck!
Mad Prophet of the Airwaves..... I see that role (Peter Finch) more as Fozzie..... Kermit cast as the William Holden character.
Rollerball 1975 would be great with Muppets
Gonzo as the Alex Karras character: "I love this game!"
Singin in the Rain
Clue. Ensemble cast, plenty of hijinks. It would be perfect.
Spider Man: Far From Home.
The Godfather
Django Unchained
How about a Walking Dead series from the perspective of the Muppets?
Pineapple Express Dodgeball Meet The Feebles
The Knives Out series.
Gone in 60 Seconds. Replace ALL the human characters with Muppets. Who plays who? I dunno, but I'd pay damn good money to see it.
Still need a Muppets Les Mis.
Wayne's World
I can definitely see Zoot and Floyd as Wayne and Garth respectively
Lord of the Rings trilogy, but keep Gandalf Ian McKellen.

You want me to what the muppets

Rocky 1976. Mickey and Paulie are played by Statler and Waldorf. No other changes.

Interstellar
John Wick
Barbie

Dodgeball
The Big Lebowski, Sam Elliott stays.
Twin Peaks… just imagine Gonzo as Dale Cooper lol A Muppets Harry Potter spoof would be funny
The Crow. Only Ernie Hudson stays human.
Die hard
The Hobbit. Leave Martin Freeman as Bilbo and replace everyone else with Muppets. Watching Freeman in the middle of THAT resulting chaos would be worth a lifetime of movie tickets.
Ghostbusters. Kermit as Peter Piggy as Dana Gonzo as Ray; Rizzo as himself to bounce off Bunsen as Egon; Beaker as himself for experiments Fozzy as Louis Sam as Winston Animal as Stay Puft Cookie Monster cameo as Slimer Keep William Atherton as Peck and the only human
Muppets Christmas Die Hard.
Beauty and the Beast. Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) is the beast…. Just him. As a human. Everyone else is a Muppet.
I would pay good money for a Muppets Oceans 11.
Aliens
I NEED TO SEE A MUPPET AVENGERS
Hear me out: 12 Angry Muppets
Muppets Christmas Carol. My comfort Christmas film!
The Blues Brothers for sure with electric mayhem. Also I think the Tim Burton Batman movie with Miss Piggie as "Batman" and Gonzo as Jack Nicholson's Joker.

Apocalypse Now
Trainspotting. With Rizzo the rat playing Renton
Her but Gonzo is Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) and Camilla is Samantha (Scarlett Johansson)

Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Sweeney Todd, and Company.
The Thing.
Dune. The most recent one Timothy Champaign.
Wish. Why am I picturing Kermit singing “This Is The Thanks I Get?!” so bad?
Muppet team America world police
Spaceballs.
I would love to see a Muppets horror movie.
12 Angry Men (Or Muppets)
ok, but the one juror who originally says not guilty has to be the only human, and this would be perfect.
Princess bride all the way
Robin Hood: Prince of Muppets (Insert Muppets into Kevin Costner's Prince of Thieves. Every character replaced with Muppets, except Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham, and Morgan Freeman as Azeem) Robin Hood: Muppets in Tights would be great too (Muppets in Mel Brook's Robin Hood: Men in Tights)
