I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
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 blood rave scene with Muppets lmao
Oh fuck yes
Red fluff everywhere
Just regular polyfill
Even
Lmao yes
What do you mean by "keep it kid-friendly"?
Apparently it has to be kid friendly if it includes the Muppets. Remember the Muppets sitcom, where Piggy has a TV show and all the parents sent letters into the studio complaining that the show wasn't for kids or something stupid.
I loved that show. The Muppets is for adults now, it was for us as kids with Sesame Street, The Muppet Show and all the Saturday morning cartoons. And the adult sitcom was a great addition until stupid parents happened.
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:
Another commenter noted that Janice would be too good as Galadriel to cast her as Legolas. Which is a very valid point.
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.
Golem:
Nah, Gollum is played by Animal.
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
This actually sounds genius. Be the change you want to see in the world!
Stop suggesting good uses for AI!
Beauty and the Beast but the Beast is the only Real person and he turns into a muppet at the end
Is he a beast or a muppet?
It’s like belle (miss piggy) saying “what a hideous beast” and it’s just a guy
No it's Hugh Jackman
That reminds me of the old Twilight Zone episode with the woman getting facial surgery. "The eye of the beholder" or something along those lines
I was going for a play on the song am I a man or a muppet, but replacing man for beast, was maybe a bit obscure
Woosh straight over my head
I would pay good money to see this film.
Muppet. Fury. Road.
Fuzzy Road
Mad Max: Furry R0w0d
Moving right along.
Footloose and WITNESS ME!
Muppet Apocalypse Now.
Muppet Gangs of New York.
Muppet Fight Club.
There Will Be (Muppet) Blood.
Muppet American History X.
Muppet Eyes Wide Shut.
You forgot Muppet Taxi Driver.
I'd see Muppet Fight Club in theaters. That and Muppet Bridesmaids.
No Country for Old Muppets
The Muppet Merchant Of Venice
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.
“There are fields, Gonzo, where people are no longer born. They are sewn.”
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.
Dune but Shai-hulud is a long furby
Gonzo Watney, left behind & thought to be dead, needs to science the shit out some stuff as he survives alone in 'The Muppets go to Mars'
'Animal, you're a chemist, can you make us a bomb?'
My Muppet Dinner with Andre
Muppet Requiem for a Dream.
Gonzo going ass to ass might be too much
I am only watching if they get Keith David back. I am not sure who else could deliver the line "Baby, I know it's pretty, but I didn't take it out for air."
You mean "meet the feebles"?
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.
A cozy Christmas evening ended with Christmas Carol Gone Wrong
I thought the most accurate version was the Patrick Stewart one
::: spoiler 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
I feel like you could reskin characters in so many games and make them muppets. That’d be a great mod.
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.
RUSSIANBADGER, YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO THE FUNNIEST SHIT EVER
What is better - to be born not wanting cookie, or to overcome your cookie eating nature through great effort?
A! No, B!
This needs to be widely distributed in Hollywood immediately.
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.
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.
I think we'd need a human Yoda too. Just an any guy.
Danny DeVito would make a good yoda.
Danny Devito would be a great Chewie
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
Closeups of lion feet.
Get the furries to the theatre
Muppet Interstellar.
"It's not possible... "
No, it's necessary.
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.
Instead of little tokens everyone is constantly checking their butt for hands
No Country for Old Muppets
Fozzie: Hello friend-o...
I'll take one Muppet Amadeus, one Muppet Lawrence of Arabia, and one Muppet Yojimbo please.
Muppet Training Day with Kermit and Fozzie
I'd actually go to the movies for this. I never go to the movies.
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.
They're all one thing. Kermit used to show up on Sesame Street as a newscaster. And Big Bird shows up in the Muppet Movie from the 70s. Jim Henson and Frank Oz did both.
No clue, I know of Sesame Street only from occasional memes. I always thought it all one and the same, since it's all puppets.
Wait, does Sesame Street belong to the Muppets?
Yep, they're all Jim Henson. And they show up on each other's stuff--Kermit was occasionally a newscaster on Sesame Street, and Big Bird was in the original Muppet Movie from the 70s.
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.
I like the chaotic energy they bring on screen.
Also not officially Muppets shows, but look at Farscape and Labyrinth. Chef d'oeuvre!
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.
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.
Muppet centipede? Human centimuppet?
That's much more wholesome. It's just all the puppeteers holding hands while wearing Muppet gloves.
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)
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.
why stop at just a 'clip'?
debbiemiss piggy does dallasCan muppets consent? This only gets worse if you keep interrogating
Talk to the hand?
Absolutely. They're constantly getting fisted.
Got my vote.
Muppet Hudson Hawk. Everyone BUT the Hawk is a Muppet.
The musical bits! You genius!
Why is there a second "No" after the first "Yes?"
Yeson the first question andNoon the second question both lead to the end nodeDon't botherI 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!"
I knew they couldn't have thought of this in they own
Putting things in pants that aren't ordinarily in pants, especially while wearing said pants, it a time-honored trope.
Starfox 64
Well they keep making Godzilla movies. I think I could watch a Muppet Godzilla movie.
Muppet Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
But what about all the gender or race swap possibilities?
I liked the remake of midway but much else. If it’s not featuring muppets and newer then 50 years old, probably doesn’t need a remake

How do we read this chart if we've been told we're a muppet?
Will you feature in the remake? Then yes.
