    I wish they’d redo Blade (1996) but with the Muppets. I think it would be so much better. You could keep it kid-friendly by having the vampires turn into bats instead of ash, but the thought of Kermit saying “some motherfuckers always trying to ice-skate uphill” would be so funny.

    The inspiration for the chart was actually another thread about exactly this. Here's the roster I suggested:

    • Aragorn: Kermit
    • Arwen: Ms Piggy
    • Legolas: Janice
    • Gimli: Rowlf
    • Boromir: Sean Bean (human)
    • Gandalf: Dr Teeth
    • Frodo: Elijah Wood (human)
    • Sam: Fozzy
    • Merry: Rizzo
    • Pippin: Gonzo
    • Saruman: Sam Eagle
    • Ringwraiths: Statler and Waldorf
    • Bombadil: Swedish Chef

    Another commenter noted that Janice would be too good as Galadriel to cast her as Legolas. Which is a very valid point.

    They should do a remake of Groundhog Day. Make a bunch of fancy trailers with over the top cinematic effects. Whole 9.

    Then play the original Groundhog Day, completely unedited.

    I feel like you could reskin characters in so many games and make them muppets. That’d be a great mod.

    Plugging "The Muppets Christmas Carol" as the most accurate version of the book. Hands-down, the Muppets actually make some quality content.

    Makes me glad they wrapped up Farscape even if it was rushed and they screwed up Pilot's voice.

    The thing is, it's the same voice actor, but they didn't use the usual filter.

    They lost the settings, which happens I guess, but it's like they didn't even compare to get it close. It sounds like Pilot is part Kermit.

    But it's a minor gripe really, I'm glad we got something.. even if it had John yelling at Rygel for something he literally never said.

    Another option is throw a director/team that is as close to opposite as possible for the remake, lion king? why not see what tarantino would do

    As soon as The Muppets and Lucasfilm were both owned by Disney, my friends and I spent a lot of time taking about how a Muppet Star Wars just makes sense.

    Now, it's a bit of a crowded space, with Blue Harvest and Space Balls already doing a lot of parody work in this area, but I think there's still room. The only problem is that I think the normal formula would have Luke be played by a human and everyone else be Muppets, but Kermit feels like he'd be a great Luke. So you'd need one of the other key roles to be human to balance it out.

    What's wrong with Muppet remakes of Muppet movies? What if the Muppets puppeteered their own little Muppets? Muppetroyshka.

    The best adult film (clip; I’m not a millionaire) that I’ve seen in a while featured a muppet. I wouldn’t cry over a remake.

    Heck I just hope they do restart the Muppet Show. The soft pilot was pretty good, actually got me to watch a Sabrina Carpenter performance, and Seth Rogen's punchability is at an all-time low. Come on Disney. (I hate saying those words)

    Are Muppets good or is this more of a nostalgia thing for people?

    I've never seen Muppets. I don't remember it airing on our national TV when I was a child. It's not much of a thing in my social circles either.

    I rarely see the Muppets but they were a cultural cornerstone for the 90s-00s. My older sisters can name everyone while I can name Kermit, Miss Piggy, Bert and Ernie, and cookie monster (use to be my favorite Friendly's sundae). Wait is Elmo and yellow bird also muppets?

    Do we not separate Muppets muppets from Sesame Street muppets? The only Muppets muppets you mentioned were Kermit and Miss Piggy. Also the yellow bird from Sesame Street is Big Bird.

    The Muppets muppets were more of an 80s thing, and then they spawned movies. Kermit, Miss Piggy, swedish chef, fozzie bear, animal and so on are Muppets muppets.

    Wait, does Sesame Street belong to the Muppets?

    The Muppets were created by Jim Henson in yhe 1950s, and made various appearances in commercials for the next 15 years.

    Independently, Jim Henson was hired as a contractor to build puppets for Sesame Street. During the 70s the Muppets began to make appearances on the show.

    Then in the mid-70s Henson made his own show, for British television, featuring a large cast of Muppets. This rocketed them to fame and spawned a series of feature films and spinoff shows that continues today.

    Personally, I think they're good. Obviously it's subjective, but I think there's a good reason that they've withstood the test of time.

    The brand of humor is timeless. The absurdity of a world where a pig and a frog can take on human roles without comment is just as funny now as it was 40 years ago. The overall style of humor is somewhat dry but still accessible.

    It's not for everyone, but it's for a lot of people.

    The Muppets are good. Very entertaining for all ages. But these remakes are nothing but a money grab. No new story line, a few rewrites, toss in a few jokes, get nostalgic movie goers to buy tickets and make a bunch of money.

    The Muppets are more than good enough to deserve their own new stories and not just rehashed garbage.

    I posit we could remake some (not all) of the Muppet movies and still get good movies. Not the one with Tim Curry, that one had Tim Curry in it. Can't be improved upon.

    Muppet Treasure Island has been in my top five movies of all time for as long as I can remember. In addition to Tim Curry, it has one of my favorite exchanges in all of cinematic history:

    "It just feels weird."

    "What? That Captain Smollet is dead?"

    "Yeah, that... and my pants are filled with starfish."

    "...you and your hobbies!"

    Well they keep making Godzilla movies. I think I could watch a Muppet Godzilla movie.
