Instead of making live action remakes of animated movies, we should make more Muppets remakes of live action movies.

Muppet Gattaca

Muppet Mean Girls

*flails arms* I am become death, destroyer of worlds! YAAAAAAAAAY!

[–] Threeme2189@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I would totally watch Muppet Gattaca!

"A valid, a made muppet, he [Fozzie]] suffered a different burden, the burden of perfection."

"Wakka wakka wakka..."

Muppet Fifty Shades of Grey

“eeeeerrrrrMiss Piggy? I don’t make love. eeeerrrrrr I fuck. Hard. Mhm.”

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I’m still hoping for Muppet Princess Bride

[–] yuri@pawb.social 3 points 5 months ago

oh my GOD

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sweetums as Fezzik!

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Kermit as DPR

Gonzo as Inigo

The one human cast member as the six-fingered man

This thing writes itself!

Edit: Bunson Honeydew as Miracle Max!

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think Gonzo should be Vizzini.

Scooter should be Inigo. He has total commitment to the matter at hand no matter how difficult.

Fozzie is, of course, Fezzik.

The Albino is played by the Swedish Chef.

Prince Humperdink is played by Rizzo the Rat.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Scooter doesn't have enough presence for Inigo, but he might make a good Vizzini

Fozzie's the priest at the wedding

[–] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So Sweetums is Fezzik?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Makes the most sense to me. Je's got the build for it and Fozzie does not.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Edit: Bunson Honeydew as Miracle Max!

Beaker as the ~~witch~~ wife

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

That's why Muppet Treasure Island and A Muppet Christmas Carol are among my favorite movies.

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 6 points 5 months ago

That would be nice indeed

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Best we can do is a 20 year old theatre attraction in our park that we may or may not be tearing down at some point.

[–] fogstormberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 months ago

I will watch every muppet retelling I can get my eyes on

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean that's kind of the Lego movies direction/fad right?
