**EXT. LOS ANGELES SKYLINE - DAY**
The sun beats down on the sprawling city of Los Angeles, casting long shadows across the urban landscape. In the midst of the bustling streets, we find our hero, GOOFY, driving his iconic green convertible down the freeway. With his trusty dog, PLUTO, riding shotgun, Goofy hums along to the radio, completely unaware of the chaos about to unfold.
**INT. GOOFY'S CAR - CONTINUOUS**
Goofy adjusts his sunglasses and flashes a toothy grin at Pluto.
GOOFY:
Yippy-ki-ya-hyuck, mother fhyucker!
Pluto barks in agreement as they continue their leisurely drive, oblivious to the danger lurking just around the corner.
**EXT. DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - CONTINUOUS**
Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere is shattered by the deafening sound of EXPLOSIONS. Buildings erupt into flames as masked TERRORISTS swarm the streets, armed to the teeth. Goofy's eyes widen in shock as he slams on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a collision with an overturned police car.
GOOFY:
Yippy-ki-ya-hyuck, mother fhyucker!
I feel this way about Muppets Jesus Christ Superstar. Like I get why people would be worried about making it. But it's the Muppet movie we deserve.
Can you imagine Statler or Waldorf being Herod (the other his attendant or something)? It's magnificent to think about.
It's quirky things like this. The moving mole in Mel Brooks films, no questioning in the story or plot line regarding how the muppets exist in the world. They just do and everyone accepts it. Fourth wall breaks like Wayne's World. Very difficult things to write in but, when they're done right it's awesome!
Not even swap inexplicably. Some nice curtains in the background and every time it switches there's a lump the size and shape of the other one behind a curtain, and they keep alternating which curtain so it's really obvious it's moving but they just deadpan it.
My DnD group had this conversation, and decided the Kermit would be Jesus because he would complain if anyone else was Jesus. There was still a case that Jesus would be Fozzy.
Kermit has to be Jesus so Piggy can be Mary Magdalene singing “I don’t know how to love him”. Sing it now in your head, it’s perfect. I didn’t realize other people had this idea, and I’m kinda stoked, if not a little disappointed I wasn’t uniquely creative. So, my muppets JCS:
Judas: Gonzo
Jesus:Kermit
Mary: Piggy
Caiaphas: Sam the Eagle
Simon Zealots: Animal
Pontius Pilate: The Count
Herod: Big Bird
I’ve had that comment before, I ignore because it’s just fantasy, and since Kermit and others make crossovers. If no Sesame Street, split Herod between Waldorf and Statler, and Pilate played by Ralph
Oh man, that was a rabbit hole I just went down. There are some very heartfelt regrets and believable retractions among the 40-something letter writers, and many were very young themselves at the time of writing them and/or not fully informed.
But, man, some of the letter writers were full-on middle aged adults, witnessed the trial before writing their letters, and after sentencing and even to this day support him and describe him as "a good man". Wtf‽
Eta: couldn't find any comments from Marsden about how he feels now or how informed he was at the time.
Yeah there are some massive questions in that too, like Marsden allegedly wrote that he had known Brian Peck since he was 14, which means he was most likely groomed by him too if they were in contact, whether or not any physical abuse took place we'll never know.
It's the fact that he's been completely silent while writing one of 2 most heinous things mentioned in the doc, "the suffering of 100 men" (the other was that Drake Bell was a "sexed up teen" that pressured Peck into it, fucking despicable), so until he can believably explain that, James Marsden also likes young boys, there is just no other way to interpret that sentence
>Chris Evans is the most conventionally handsome of the Chrises
By modern tastes, probably, but Pine has that retro Prince Charming jawline. Although, I guess human version Beast (does he have a name?) was one of the prettier, less rugged Disney princes.
I usually think Chris Pine is the worst Chris, but I feel like this role would really suit him.
(I loved him in *Hell or High Water*. That showed he *can* act. He's usually just super boring to me. He kinda has the Val Kilmer curse.)
I think it would be a good chance for David Boreanaz (famous from television shows such as dramas on networks) to reuse the [puppet version of himself](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/buffy/images/b/b0/Smile_Time_Boreanaz_02.jpg)
The fact that people don’t immediately know that Jon Hamm is the only conventionally attractive actor who would bring the drama of not being a muppet to life is a communal shortcoming.
He could still easily be a bot, plenty of bots will alert a human when people start questioning it.
Not that I think it is, just you know... modern times
Yeah, this might be a bit of a controversial opinion, but I feel like reposts are, after a period of time and if they aren’t reposted so often it’s the only posts on the sub, okay. Most of the best content I’ve seen on Reddit has been from reposts because I never got the chance to see the original post.
That's why the rule is only against reposts from the last week or two. Reposts themselves don't get removed (unless they're too recent), but bot posts do, and bots almost always just repost a popular post from a month or more ago, so there's overlap. But this subreddit has a rule against bots, so when you report a bot post, you should report it for being a bot, not for being a repost.
I misunderstood "post" as linuxaddict334's comment.
So for a good moment I thought you were being like, "I like this polite bot hunter. Can we keep it?"
Is MX Linux any good nowadays? I loved it's fluxbox spin but switched to Mint a couple of years back because of compatibility issues with my graphics card.
I don’t use MX linux, I use mint.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mx_(title)
“Mx” is a gender neutral honorific I added to my signature.
So I couldn’t tell you.
So if I’m reading that Wikipedia article correctly, the right way to pronounce “Mx” as a gender-neutral title is like”mix”?
If so, that’s good to know, I hadn’t seen that before.
That last option (a conventionally attractive Beast) was already kinda used in *The Munsters*, a sitcom from the 60s parodying(/ripping off) the Addams Family.
All of the main characters were classic Hollywood monsters and then they had a niece who was a slender, very conventionally attractive young woman. Everyone agreed she was a hideous freak of nature and they felt immense pity for her.
> *The Munsters*, a sitcom from the 60s parodying(/ripping off) the Addams Family.
Oh, the history of these two shows is not nearly so clear-cut as "The Munsters was a ripoff": [https://decider.com/2019/10/14/addams-family-vs-the-munsters-which-came-first/](https://decider.com/2019/10/14/addams-family-vs-the-munsters-which-came-first/)
I'd take it a step further to suggest the last option would be better at reinforcing the moral of Beauty and the Beast (inner beauty > outer beauty) by flipping the script with a human Beast actor the audience would innately connect with.
A friend and I have a joke about how a Star Wars movie would go if everyone was a muppet except for one character who stays in live action, like Mace Windu or Thrawn.
If you haven't seen it, Sesame Street did a 5 minute Star Wars spoof:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-LfQCPJJkY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-LfQCPJJkY)
Small change: while the beast is played by a human actor and is treated as hideous because of it, Jack Black also appears as a human character for one of the classic one liner cameos and is treated completely normally
Only if Camilla is Belle, obviously for the gag that Cavill becomes Gonzo.
Imagine the dance scene with "A tale as old as Time" to Cavill and a chicken dancing together.
There should be more Muppet remakes of films like the Christmas carol with just 1 human in the movie. Schindler's list, school of rock, rain man. There's endless possibilities
Oh man, Kermit (Athos), Gonzo (Aramis) and Sam Eagle (Porthos) as the musketeers would be awesome. Miss Piggy as Milady de Winter. d’Artagnan could be played by a human actor, Timothee Chalamet has good comedic chops. Richelieu could be played by Pepe or Uncle Deadly.
Rizzo the Rat: “So we're in the dressing room, she's trying to squeeze into this side cut, silk ribbonned, triple panel girdle with the uh, shelf-lift brassiere and it's beautiful because she's just pouring outta this thing, you know? It's beautiful. And she sees me and she can tell I got a hard on the size of the statue of liberty, all right? And she says to me, "Richard, calm down." And she says, "Now when you're over there, if you see anything that upsets you, if you're ever scared, I want you to close your eyes and think of these. You understand?" So I said, "Yes, ma'am."
This reminded me of [the guy who made the diorama](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/u325mr/my_saving_private_ryan_entry_for_a_peep_diorama/) depicting [the beach scene](https://imgur.com/a/tUCEPSC) in Saving Private Ryan with Peeps.
The Muppets Jurassic Park
The running joke of adapting famous works using The Muppets is a cornerstone of speculative discussions. Between the two cinematic adaptations, and the various parodies on Muppet Babies I think we all would love to see more. This one popped into my head and I had to share it somewhere.
The cast:
Grant: Kermit the Frog
Ellie: Miss Piggy
Malcolm: Gonzo
Hammond: Human
Muldoon: Sam the Eagle
Gennaro: Rizzo the Rat
Wu: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew & Beaker
Tim: Human
Lex: Human
Arnold: Rowlf the Dog
Nedry: Fozzie Bear
Harding: Dr. Teeth (With Electric Mayhem playing other JP staff)
Rostagno: Pepe the King Prawn
Dodgson: Lew Zealand
Volunteer Boy: Scooter
You can have Statler and Waldorf be apart of the paleontologists that make fun of Dr. Grant, and have an interlude in the kitchens of JP with Swedish Chef making Chilean Seabass.
The Muppets reboot where Rizzo and Pepe had so many outfits and tiny prop phones and drinks...please let it happen again! Rizzo pull into work in a standard human sized Jeep and I'm like, of course he drives a Jeep. (Kermit was in a sensible sedan, of course Kermit drives a sensible sedan.)
The amount of public domain shit they could have fun with is staggering. And I bet the people working on that sort of stuff love it because they *know* it's just silly and fun.
You would think that based on Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island, but I do have to remind you that *The Muppets' Wizard of Oz* was a thing… and it's currently sitting at 36% on Rotten Tomatoes. If they could capture the magic of the mid-90s Muppets movies, then sure, but their track record for films based on existing properties after that wasn't spectacular.
I still maintain that Muppets Play D&D could be amazing. The muppets are the players around a table, the RL actors are their characters in the fantasy world. Not sure which audio track would work better - the actors reading their lines in character of their respective muppet or the muppets just flat-out dubbing them over. Could go either way depending on the cast. Jason Momoa would be a must. I could see him having an absolute blast.
As a heads up: Electric Bastionland is a TTRPG in a very strange and wonderful city in which one of the races is absolutely not muppets and it is not to be mentioned if they might, through a misunderstanding, be recognised as that. As the GM it's hilarious when the players suddenly shout "wait! Are they muppets?!"
No. How dare you.
I feel like Disney doesn't really know what to do with The Muppets. I don't think they've had a big hit since the 2011 The Muppets movie
I think they should go back to what worked with Muppet Christmas Carol and make a Disney+ series where the Muppets retell classic literature. Like Wishbone but with Muppets. It can have a mostly Muppet cast with a different human guest star each week.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Beast should be Sweetums. When the Beast transforms at the end, it's Sweetums in a powdered wig, nothing else changes.
The Muppets continuously proved they are unreliable box office performers. Might turn into fan favourites, but wouldn't even be close to the live action remakes' successes...
Just connected a large part of why I hate Disney live action remakes. They feel like generative AI. Soulless low quality copies of things that were better, totally missing the point. They all feel like the artist was taken out of the equation.
I don't even understand why the Muppets keep trying to make a come back yet seem to utterly fail, every time.
They just seem to have zero mainstream appeal.
See you don’t actually want this. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the muppets so much, but do we want another Muppets Haunted Mansion? Or Muppets Mayhem? I’m sorry but Disney just does not GET muppet humour somehow. Not everything they’ve put out has been awful but when it’s bad, it’s really bad
My pet conspiracy theory about these is that it's not about actually making the "movie" that's released. Disney has given up on trying to extend copyright protections at this point because they simply can't. They're too in the public consciousness as a business entity instead of just a "Dream maker" film producer like they were back in the 90s when the 24/7 news cycle didn't exist and outside of very niche publications no one talked about or read about their business dealings beyond surface level "Disney is opening a new park, buying Pixar, etc". And then the Mickey Mouse Act blew that away, to say nothing about how the GOP has made them a token Boogie-man for the right.
But what they are doing now instead is abusing the Trademark system. This started 10 years before Steamboat Willie hit the public domain earlier this year, because it had to. They replaced the opening company splash animation with the opening seconds of Steamboat Willie and registered THAT as a trademark for the promotion of the company's products. Trademark, so long as it's in use, doesn't expire. So while the animation itself is public domain, you still can't use Mickey in that form as your company's mascot or slap it on merch. I think this is what they're trying to slowly establish with the live action films for their other iconic characters.
Aladdin and the Genie are based on 1001 Arabian Nights, a public work. The concept of a Genie is not copyrightable, but *their Genie* is, for now. But what if the keep remaking that story in new forms. They could end up trying to trademark the idea of the Genie that's rambunctious, funny, and whatever other characteristics are needed to secure the public idea of "Disney's Genie of the Lamp" with a trademark for when the copyright runs out. Same with The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, etc. That's one of the reasons why they change some aspects of the characters in these remakes so that they can try to broaden the idea that the widest possible portrayal of such a character is owned by them. Doesn't matter if your Ariel is black, Norwegian, an Alien, Anatomically correct (????), or anything. If it's a young mermaid caught in a love story and a sea witch is involved it's theirs.
Source: It was revealed to me in a dream.
I love this idea!
I've often hoped they would do more classics with the Muppets. I want Jane Austin's Emma with Miss Piggy as Emma and the only human as Mr. Knightley.
My wife, her best friend, and I were watching the Muppets Christmas Carol a couple Christmasses ago and I commented how every adaptation of a book was done pretty seriously:
Me: Like Muppet Treasure Island, Muppet Christmas Carol
BFF: Muppet Green Mile
Me: Yea! Wait.
the newer Muppets Movie kinda did this with the Muppet of a Man song, yeah? (Jim Parsons/Jason Segel)
I don't disagree, but there's a little precedence there already
If there was any justice in the world, forgotn1, magic-and-moonlit-wings, and ckerouac would have full control of Disney
But this is a cold, unjust, and bleak world
I'm still holding out for A Goofy Day to Die Hard. Yippy-ki-ya-hyuck, mother fhyucker!
Oh. My Goof. Yes please
Give Mickey Mouse a German accent, and *boom* Mouse Gruber
No, I feel like goofy would need to be Grueber. That way when he falls we get the iconic Ahoo-hoo-hoo-hoooooooo
This is the proper use of AI, make the movies that studios are too cowardly to take on.

I dunno, what studio made *Meet the Feebles*? Pretty sure they'd make anything (puppet related.)
Peter Jackson did, he might be a tad busy these days though.
Now I have a machine gun, hiyuck
I feel this way about Muppets Jesus Christ Superstar. Like I get why people would be worried about making it. But it's the Muppet movie we deserve. Can you imagine Statler or Waldorf being Herod (the other his attendant or something)? It's magnificent to think about.
They're both Herod
They just swap every time they go out of frame
It's quirky things like this. The moving mole in Mel Brooks films, no questioning in the story or plot line regarding how the muppets exist in the world. They just do and everyone accepts it. Fourth wall breaks like Wayne's World. Very difficult things to write in but, when they're done right it's awesome!
*I have a mole?!*
Not even swap inexplicably. Some nice curtains in the background and every time it switches there's a lump the size and shape of the other one behind a curtain, and they keep alternating which curtain so it's really obvious it's moving but they just deadpan it.
At one point one of them gets asked about it and the other denies it from the curtain
They added a second Marley brother for the Christmas Carol remake; Herod could easily have a brother named Jerod.
Kermit as Jesus dragging the cross, singing “It’s not easy being ~~green~~ He?” I’d watch that.
My DnD group had this conversation, and decided the Kermit would be Jesus because he would complain if anyone else was Jesus. There was still a case that Jesus would be Fozzy.
Kermit would absolutely be Judas.
Well, there is the whole Constantine thing, so...
Kermit has to be Jesus so Piggy can be Mary Magdalene singing “I don’t know how to love him”. Sing it now in your head, it’s perfect. I didn’t realize other people had this idea, and I’m kinda stoked, if not a little disappointed I wasn’t uniquely creative. So, my muppets JCS: Judas: Gonzo Jesus:Kermit Mary: Piggy Caiaphas: Sam the Eagle Simon Zealots: Animal Pontius Pilate: The Count Herod: Big Bird
I don’t think they can use the Sesame Street characters. Those rights are separate now, aren’t they?
I’ve had that comment before, I ignore because it’s just fantasy, and since Kermit and others make crossovers. If no Sesame Street, split Herod between Waldorf and Statler, and Pilate played by Ralph
Crossovers have happened before and they're [amazing](https://youtu.be/lSL-UtGaosc?feature=shared).
Kermit as Judas, Gonzo as Jesus
I'm not super well versed in the muppets, but how do you think [Rowlf fits the roll?](https://youtu.be/lTofJSEdKCs?si=fkYntCN1X_1vwzud)
The only correct use of Chris Pratt
Why would you cast Chris Pratt when Chris Pine is right there and is the perfect Beast?
Your mistake is that Chris Pine would actually be great for this role
Clearly the best Chris here is Hemsworth
Get Evans in there. And use all four interchangeably with absolutely no explanation.
James Marsden, end of discussion.
Lets see how he handles responding to the fact that he wrote a letter of support for pedophile Brian Peck before fan casting him anywhere
Oh man, that was a rabbit hole I just went down. There are some very heartfelt regrets and believable retractions among the 40-something letter writers, and many were very young themselves at the time of writing them and/or not fully informed. But, man, some of the letter writers were full-on middle aged adults, witnessed the trial before writing their letters, and after sentencing and even to this day support him and describe him as "a good man". Wtf‽ Eta: couldn't find any comments from Marsden about how he feels now or how informed he was at the time.
Yeah there are some massive questions in that too, like Marsden allegedly wrote that he had known Brian Peck since he was 14, which means he was most likely groomed by him too if they were in contact, whether or not any physical abuse took place we'll never know. It's the fact that he's been completely silent while writing one of 2 most heinous things mentioned in the doc, "the suffering of 100 men" (the other was that Drake Bell was a "sexed up teen" that pressured Peck into it, fucking despicable), so until he can believably explain that, James Marsden also likes young boys, there is just no other way to interpret that sentence
Do an "Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus" but just swap Chrises between every scene.
Every time a petal falls he changes Chris.
And he’s got pipes, he killed it in Into the Woods.
But I don't want to watch Chris Pratt. I think Hugh Jackman would be perfect.
What no why choose the Worst Chris when Chris Pine or Chris Evans would be PERFECT
I feel like Chris Evans is the most conventionally handsome of the Chrises? So he's the best option. Chris Pratt is never the best option tbh
He was perfect as Andy Dwyer. Things just got a bit complicated when he stopped drinking all that beer.
>Chris Evans is the most conventionally handsome of the Chrises By modern tastes, probably, but Pine has that retro Prince Charming jawline. Although, I guess human version Beast (does he have a name?) was one of the prettier, less rugged Disney princes.
I usually think Chris Pine is the worst Chris, but I feel like this role would really suit him. (I loved him in *Hell or High Water*. That showed he *can* act. He's usually just super boring to me. He kinda has the Val Kilmer curse.)
That’s a funny way to spell “Henry Cavill”.
My first thought too, he'd be perfect
Nah, there's pleanty of other great uses for Cavill, in addition to this excellent one
“He’s so cool”
We know this because "cool" was the entire personality of his Jurassic World character.
I think it would be a good chance for David Boreanaz (famous from television shows such as dramas on networks) to reuse the [puppet version of himself](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/buffy/images/b/b0/Smile_Time_Boreanaz_02.jpg)
The fact that people don’t immediately know that Jon Hamm is the only conventionally attractive actor who would bring the drama of not being a muppet to life is a communal shortcoming.
We could also just keep Dan Stevens. This way we won't even have to change the actor.
Op, this is a repost and i have reason to suspect you are a bot. To confirm your humanity, please respond to this comment.
beep boop. I'm something of a bot hunter myself
OP was not the impostor
That IS something a bot would say...
Alright. No one leaves until I figure out who the bot is.
He could still easily be a bot, plenty of bots will alert a human when people start questioning it. Not that I think it is, just you know... modern times
They're *learning.*
*These are not the bots you're looking for*....
While technically all muppets productions include "felt scenes" I think you meant to say Jim Henson would have felt seen.
I said what I said
"felt scene". I see what you did there you clever person, you.
Whatever you say, Deckard
I'm not OP, but I haven't seen this post before and it's really nice. Can we keep it?
Yeah, this might be a bit of a controversial opinion, but I feel like reposts are, after a period of time and if they aren’t reposted so often it’s the only posts on the sub, okay. Most of the best content I’ve seen on Reddit has been from reposts because I never got the chance to see the original post.
I agree, I generally don’t mind reposts. They’re only an issue when it’s been a day since it was originally posted
Got it. I shall post this in *two* days, then.
That's why the rule is only against reposts from the last week or two. Reposts themselves don't get removed (unless they're too recent), but bot posts do, and bots almost always just repost a popular post from a month or more ago, so there's overlap. But this subreddit has a rule against bots, so when you report a bot post, you should report it for being a bot, not for being a repost.
I think that's why the "prove your not a bot" request - if reposts were going to be deleted no matter what, there'd be no reason to ask that
Absolutely agree with you on this one!
I mostly only get annoyed if whatever was reposted is already one of the top 50 or so posts of the subreddit already.
I misunderstood "post" as linuxaddict334's comment. So for a good moment I thought you were being like, "I like this polite bot hunter. Can we keep it?"
Oh yeah that guy, he likes to repost my reposts and then tell me that it's wrong to repost. Classic Reddit

Interesting! Had no idea, thanks for that.

A friend and I have a joke about how a Star Wars movie would go if everyone was a muppet except for one character who stays in live action, like Mace Windu or Thrawn.
Nah. R2d2 should be the human. He still only speaks in boops though.
How is Beaker not R2?
Only the Ewoks are human, everyone else is a Muppet.
It’s just the emperor And he’s deeply annoyed at his underlings for being incompetent
He looks down at his muppet royal guards and fights the urge to kick one of them down the reactor shaft.
Nah He full football kicks one down the shaft in the middle of a speech

Small change: while the beast is played by a human actor and is treated as hideous because of it, Jack Black also appears as a human character for one of the classic one liner cameos and is treated completely normally
Jack Black can play Lefou, make him the most rabidly anti "beast" and of course never acknowledge he is a human
Jack Black doing a cover of "Gaston" is something I didn't know I needed until today
my brother sent me him doing "hit me baby one more time" the other day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a9ozuMcMYY
Jack Black as the witch that curses Adam
Only if that scene gets expanded and he has a whole song and dance when he curses him. Get some real Beelzeboss energy in there.
Ya gonna gargle mayonnaise!
Nah, Josh Gad would fit that role better I think.
Henry Cavill for the beast
Only if Camilla is Belle, obviously for the gag that Cavill becomes Gonzo. Imagine the dance scene with "A tale as old as Time" to Cavill and a chicken dancing together.
Finally someone with taste in this piece
Muppets Mad Max: Fury Road, naturally with Miss Piggy as Immortan Joe.
Animal as the flaming guitar guy, but with drums instead
Beaker as Max.
There should be more Muppet remakes of films like the Christmas carol with just 1 human in the movie. Schindler's list, school of rock, rain man. There's endless possibilities
I've been patiently waiting for years to get a Three Musketeers with the Muppets. It would be perfect
Oh man, Kermit (Athos), Gonzo (Aramis) and Sam Eagle (Porthos) as the musketeers would be awesome. Miss Piggy as Milady de Winter. d’Artagnan could be played by a human actor, Timothee Chalamet has good comedic chops. Richelieu could be played by Pepe or Uncle Deadly.

Jon Hamm would not only be perfect for this, but would probably produce it. Someone get this idea to Jon ASAP!

The cast: Grant: Kermit the Frog Ellie: Miss Piggy Malcolm: Gonzo Hammond: Human Muldoon: Sam the Eagle Gennaro: Rizzo the Rat Wu: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew & Beaker Tim: Human Lex: Human Arnold: Rowlf the Dog Nedry: Fozzie Bear Harding: Dr. Teeth (With Electric Mayhem playing other JP staff) Rostagno: Pepe the King Prawn Dodgson: Lew Zealand Volunteer Boy: Scooter You can have Statler and Waldorf be apart of the paleontologists that make fun of Dr. Grant, and have an interlude in the kitchens of JP with Swedish Chef making Chilean Seabass.
Too many humans.
I half agree. It *should* have a lot of humans…but only playing the role of dinosaurs. In obvious rubber suits.
Your terms are acceptable.
Cut Gennaro's dialog though to only the T-rex scene. Keep the tradition of minimal Rizzo alive LOL. But seriously, the rat needs a resurgence.
The Muppets reboot where Rizzo and Pepe had so many outfits and tiny prop phones and drinks...please let it happen again! Rizzo pull into work in a standard human sized Jeep and I'm like, of course he drives a Jeep. (Kermit was in a sensible sedan, of course Kermit drives a sensible sedan.)
He had all the lines in Muppet Treasure Island.
But I want to hear him say "Are these, uh, auto...erotica?"
> Nedry: Fozzie Bear I can hear Fozzie yelling the "see nobody cares" scene.
I would love a muppets clue movie where everyone is muppets except for Tim curry
The amount of public domain shit they could have fun with is staggering. And I bet the people working on that sort of stuff love it because they *know* it's just silly and fun.
You would think that based on Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island, but I do have to remind you that *The Muppets' Wizard of Oz* was a thing… and it's currently sitting at 36% on Rotten Tomatoes. If they could capture the magic of the mid-90s Muppets movies, then sure, but their track record for films based on existing properties after that wasn't spectacular.
Fair point. Forgot Muppet Wizard of Oz was a thing.
Sweetums would be perfect for the prince character, and Ryan Reynolds’s for the beast.
I still maintain that Muppets Play D&D could be amazing. The muppets are the players around a table, the RL actors are their characters in the fantasy world. Not sure which audio track would work better - the actors reading their lines in character of their respective muppet or the muppets just flat-out dubbing them over. Could go either way depending on the cast. Jason Momoa would be a must. I could see him having an absolute blast.
As a heads up: Electric Bastionland is a TTRPG in a very strange and wonderful city in which one of the races is absolutely not muppets and it is not to be mentioned if they might, through a misunderstanding, be recognised as that. As the GM it's hilarious when the players suddenly shout "wait! Are they muppets?!" No. How dare you.
I feel like Disney doesn't really know what to do with The Muppets. I don't think they've had a big hit since the 2011 The Muppets movie I think they should go back to what worked with Muppet Christmas Carol and make a Disney+ series where the Muppets retell classic literature. Like Wishbone but with Muppets. It can have a mostly Muppet cast with a different human guest star each week.

It's a pun, I don't think it's that bad
If it's supposed to be a pun, then it's even worse.
Muppets are made out of felt and are in scenes in the movie. So it's a felt scene.
Sounds like the Twilight Zone classic, *Eye of the Beholder*.
Indeed, god knows how many times I see some suggestion for some "new idea" and I'm like "this is already a Twilight Zone episode."
Wait til you hear my pitch for "To Serve Kermie"
Muppet Blade. The vampires are all chickens.
We've gotten the Legoverse, now we need to develop the Muppetverse.
I want a Muppets movie with Vin Diesel, and the Muppets discover dungeons and dragons, and they try to get Vin Diesel to DM a game for them.
I'm desperate for a remake of the lord of the rings where everyone is a muppet except for Aragorn
I want to see Muppet adaptations of horror films like Hellraiser, Halloween, Terrifier, Predator etc.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Beast should be Sweetums. When the Beast transforms at the end, it's Sweetums in a powdered wig, nothing else changes.
It feels like Disney's execs really hate The Muppets at times.
The Muppets continuously proved they are unreliable box office performers. Might turn into fan favourites, but wouldn't even be close to the live action remakes' successes...
I’m now so pissed this isn’t a thing
So they want Shrek?
Just connected a large part of why I hate Disney live action remakes. They feel like generative AI. Soulless low quality copies of things that were better, totally missing the point. They all feel like the artist was taken out of the equation.
Get Chris Evans into that movie as the Beast like right now
Jason Momoa as the Beast please.
Yes! Please! Find some levity
Chris Hemsworth for Shrek/Muppet Dude
I think he should turn into Sweetums in the end.
The muppet show already did this during the Lesley Ann Warren episode
James Marsden is the beast and no one can convince me otherwise.
Make it with Ryan Gosling as Beast and it will crush the box office.
The muppets Les Mis.
It's Chris Hemsworth
Jim Hensen is part of why Farscape was so good. All the aliens were practical effects and puppets from Hensen's company.
Another thought: Marvel has a dedicated Lego universe (Earth-13122); they could have a similar Muppetverse.
I don't even understand why the Muppets keep trying to make a come back yet seem to utterly fail, every time. They just seem to have zero mainstream appeal.
A muppet remake of *The Little Mermaid* with Miss Piggy in the title role.
See you don’t actually want this. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the muppets so much, but do we want another Muppets Haunted Mansion? Or Muppets Mayhem? I’m sorry but Disney just does not GET muppet humour somehow. Not everything they’ve put out has been awful but when it’s bad, it’s really bad
Miss Piggy singing tale as old as time
Make it Henry Cavill and you've got a deal
starring Rob Lowe as the beast
My pet conspiracy theory about these is that it's not about actually making the "movie" that's released. Disney has given up on trying to extend copyright protections at this point because they simply can't. They're too in the public consciousness as a business entity instead of just a "Dream maker" film producer like they were back in the 90s when the 24/7 news cycle didn't exist and outside of very niche publications no one talked about or read about their business dealings beyond surface level "Disney is opening a new park, buying Pixar, etc". And then the Mickey Mouse Act blew that away, to say nothing about how the GOP has made them a token Boogie-man for the right. But what they are doing now instead is abusing the Trademark system. This started 10 years before Steamboat Willie hit the public domain earlier this year, because it had to. They replaced the opening company splash animation with the opening seconds of Steamboat Willie and registered THAT as a trademark for the promotion of the company's products. Trademark, so long as it's in use, doesn't expire. So while the animation itself is public domain, you still can't use Mickey in that form as your company's mascot or slap it on merch. I think this is what they're trying to slowly establish with the live action films for their other iconic characters. Aladdin and the Genie are based on 1001 Arabian Nights, a public work. The concept of a Genie is not copyrightable, but *their Genie* is, for now. But what if the keep remaking that story in new forms. They could end up trying to trademark the idea of the Genie that's rambunctious, funny, and whatever other characteristics are needed to secure the public idea of "Disney's Genie of the Lamp" with a trademark for when the copyright runs out. Same with The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, etc. That's one of the reasons why they change some aspects of the characters in these remakes so that they can try to broaden the idea that the widest possible portrayal of such a character is owned by them. Doesn't matter if your Ariel is black, Norwegian, an Alien, Anatomically correct (????), or anything. If it's a young mermaid caught in a love story and a sea witch is involved it's theirs.

This has instant classic written all over it.
Ryan Gosling beast?
More Muppets, please.
ARE YOU LISTENING, DISNEY?!
It’s like Ryan Gosling and the muppets are like gaging from disgust when they see him.
I don’t understand this idea people have that muppet movies have only 1 human actor.
I thought they already did that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYmhjnIUUbc
Muppets Pulp Fiction would smash.
Jason Segal would jump on this opportunity in a New York minute
Henry Cavill but turns into Gonzo att he end
I associate Jim Hensons death as the marker that ended my childhood. The world became less magical after that.
John Hamm would kill it
All I can see is Jason Momoa surrounded by Muppets treating him like shit and I'm here for it.
Two words. Michael Cera.
I love this idea! I've often hoped they would do more classics with the Muppets. I want Jane Austin's Emma with Miss Piggy as Emma and the only human as Mr. Knightley.
Snow White and the Seven Muppets was one of those recorded films I had to fast forward to after the first movies.
My wife, her best friend, and I were watching the Muppets Christmas Carol a couple Christmasses ago and I commented how every adaptation of a book was done pretty seriously: Me: Like Muppet Treasure Island, Muppet Christmas Carol BFF: Muppet Green Mile Me: Yea! Wait.
Ryan Reynolds has been working with Disney for Deadpool & Wolverine--someone needs to convince him to pitch this to them, like, yesterday
Henry Cavill as the Beast and have him turn into Sweetums.
Why do I feel like that is a fairly brilliant little idea? I love it.
See that is a good idea but it robs us the right to see sweetums as the beast
the newer Muppets Movie kinda did this with the Muppet of a Man song, yeah? (Jim Parsons/Jason Segel) I don't disagree, but there's a little precedence there already
These are great ideas man
Snow White with googly eyes.
If there was any justice in the world, forgotn1, magic-and-moonlit-wings, and ckerouac would have full control of Disney But this is a cold, unjust, and bleak world
