    The Lord of the Rings, but Gandalf is the only human actor and everyone else are Muppets.

      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.

        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.

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

      It’s the second-best version of A Christmas Carol, after the Blackadder version.

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

      source
      • explodicle@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

    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.

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

    source
    • VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

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

      source
      • db2@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

    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.

    • Aneb@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?

      source
      • FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.
