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.
PineRune@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Swedish Chef as Tom Bombadil is perfect!

Elijah Wood muppified, but he turns more and more human as the Ring corrupts him. Gollum is fully human, nude, slimy.

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.

All I want is Muppet Princess Bride, but no one will make it

Beauty and the Beast but the Beast is the only Real person and he turns into a muppet at the end
Tingle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Is he a beast or a muppet?

It’s like belle (miss piggy) saying “what a hideous beast” and it’s just a guy

The Matrix. John Wick. Dune. Get the original directors on board for the remakes. The possibilities are endless.

Miss Piggy has the range to star in all 3. And with Keanu’s blessing, I bet.

Imagine. Dune. But instead of a worm, an giant elongated Cookie Monster. Or the Matrix, when Kermit meets the Architect for the first time and instead is the Big Yellow Bird. Also every Machine should have Gonzos face.

Plugging “The Muppets Christmas Carol” as the most accurate version of the book. Hands-down, the Muppets actually make some quality content.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s the second-best version of A Christmas Carol, after the Blackadder version.
BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 2 months ago
A cozy Christmas evening ended with Christmas Carol Gone Wrong
OS2Warp@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I thought the most accurate version was the Patrick Stewart one
Tap for casting spolier
It even has McNutty in it from The Wire!

For a moment I thought this was a gaming community for some unholy reason, and I immediately imagined a Skyrim remake with Muppets
jackal@infosec.pub 2 months ago
I feel like you could reskin characters in so many games and make them muppets. That’d be a great mod.
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Skins alone aren’t enough to capture the way Muppets move differently than humans. The only way to get it right with today’s technology is motion capture, which I’ve never seen in a mod.

What is better - to be born not wanting cookie, or to overcome your cookie eating nature through great effort?

db2@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Makes me glad they wrapped up Farscape even if it was rushed and they screwed up Pilot’s voice.
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The thing is, it’s the same voice actor, but they didn’t use the usual filter.
db2@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This needs to be widely distributed in Hollywood immediately.
psycotica0@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
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.
yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I think we’d need a human Yoda too. Just an any guy.
NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Danny DeVito would make a good yoda.
Kowowow@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
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

What’s wrong with Muppet remakes of Muppet movies? What if the Muppets puppeteered their own little Muppets? Muppetroyshka.
Xerxos@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
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.

I’d actually go to the movies for this. I never go to the movies.
turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 2 months ago
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)
hOrni@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Muppet centipede? Human centimuppet?
echodot@feddit.uk 2 months ago
That’s much more wholesome. It’s just all the puppeteers holding hands while wearing Muppet gloves.
mr_satan@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
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.
Aneb@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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?
FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
architectonas@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wait, does Sesame Street belong to the Muppets?
i_love_FFT@jlai.lu 2 months ago
I like the chaotic energy they bring on screen.
Also not officially Muppets shows, but look at Farscape and Labyrinth. Chef d’oeuvre!
JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
The best adult film (clip; I’m not a millionaire) that I’ve seen in a while featured a muppet. I wouldn’t cry if over a remake.
