I’m pretty sure this has been discussed before, but before I look at anything others have said…

Kermit and Miss Piggy are the obvious choices for Westley and Buttercup. But I also kind of want to use Kermit and Robin for the Peter Falk and Fred Savage roles.  
Pepe the Prawn could be Vizzini.  
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker as Miracle Max and his wife.  
Statler and Waldorf filling in for the old lady in the dream who shouts “Boo!”

Now, some links to suggestions that have been made before:

> Buttercup - Miss Piggy Westley - Kermit Inigo Montoya - Rowlff Fezzig - Sweetums Vencini - Gonzo Prince Humperdink - Fozzie Bear Count Rogan - Zoot Miracle Max - Statler Valerie - Waldorf in drag the Albino - Janis Did I get everybody?

> [@Replace a movie cast with The Muppets (with one human)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/replace-a-movie-cast-with-the-muppets-with-one-human/818523/34):
>
> Princess Bride - keep either Prince Humperdink or Count Rugen as human. Rizzo as the other one? Or Animal. Kermit as Westley, Piggy as Buttercup, Sweetums as Fezzick is a lock, Great Gonzo as Montoya. Pepe as Vizzini or Fozzy? Swedish Chef as the Priest, Bunsen as Miracle Max, maybe, but who for his wife? Or maybe Statler and Waldorf for that pair? I like Beaker for the Albino.
