This is a shitpost community, but I’m 100% committed to this chart.

      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.

    Beauty and the Beast but the Beast is the only Real person and he turns into a muppet at the end

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

        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.

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

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

      Sounds like Inception.

      Oh yes, Inception would be a great Muppet film: at every level they go deeper, it switches between real humans and Muppets.

    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.

    For a moment I thought this was a gaming community for some unholy reason, and I immediately imagined a Skyrim remake with Muppets

    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
