What movie would you recast... with Muppets?

Henson’s List
Legend of the Overmuppet
Steven King’s Muppery (“Cockadoodie frog!”)
Muppkira. (Animal was born to scream “Kaneda!” Sam the Eagle as the colonel, natch.)
Kermit Andronicus
The Waterdance (Muppets seem highly suited for a story about people who can’t use their legs.)

I can’t believe no one has yet thought of:

The Usual Muppets

Kermit the Frog as “Verbal” Kint
(Gee, thanks, Dave. Bang-up job so far. Extortion, coercion. You’ll pardon me if I ask you to kiss my pucker. The same fuckers that rounded us up and sank us into this mess are telling me They’ll bail me out? Fuck you. You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting fingered and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything, it will be to get rid of me. After that, my guess is you’ll never hear from him again).

Fozzie Bear as Agent Kujan
(Who’s Keyser Soze?)

Sam the American Eagle as Kobayashi
(My name is Kobayashi. I work for Kayser Soze.)

Miss Piggy as Edie Finneran

Let me know if you think of other casting choices.

Surely you mean Lawrence of Amphibia

Kermit doesn’t need tights - he has green legs! :stuck_out_tongue:

Crouching Pig, Hidden Frog

(Ample opportunity for Piggy to go berserk and kick the crap out of everyone)

Also:The Sound of Muppets

That’s because it is a little known fact that Tarantino IS a muppet, but he’s passing for human.

Glengarry Glenross.

Gone With the Wind!

Kermit is Rhett

Miss Piggy is Scarlett

Scooter for Ashley

Who to play Melanie? Nee suggestions

Aunt Pittypat?

And Rolf the dog as Mammy!
Fiddle dee dee!

I just can’t even believe no one’s mentioned The Princess Bride
Kermit. . .Westley
Miss Piggy. . .Buttercup
Cookie Monster. . .Fezzik
Gonzo. . .Inigo Montoya
The Swedish Chef. . .Vizzini
Animal. . .Prince Humperdink
Oscar the Grouch. . .The Six-Fingered Man

It could all work.

Harry Potter

Kermit - Harry Potter
Ms. Piggy - Hermione
Gonzo - Ron Weasley
Sam Eagle - Professor Snape
bunson honeydew - Dumbledore
Beeker - Voldemort
Janet - McConigle
Scooter - Neville Longbottom
Gonzo - Malfoy
Bert & Ernie - Fred & George

I’ll accept Beeker - Voldemort as long as we’re talking Sorcerer’s Stone. I can see Beeker in a turban.

I spit root beer reading that. The image of Kermit’s green arms flailing wildly as they do, little floppy hands flopping, the plainly visible wire rods moving his appendages…freeeekin’ great.
Another one that just seems made for the muppets would be Indiana Kermit and the Muppets of the Lost Ark . The cast would be pretty self-explanatory, but I’d push for Bunsen as Toht, Beauregard as Sallah, and Link Hogthrob as Belloq.

Exactly my vision as well. It’s spooky how Doper Minds Are Becoming One.

:slight_smile:

“Leave the gun. Bring the canolli. Give me the whoopie cushion.”

Of course, inevitably this thread will get around to Miss Piggy as Katherine Trammell (and Fozzie, Beaker and Gonzo as the cops) in the interrogation scene from “Basic Instinct.” Unless someone already did it and I forgot…

How about Monty Python’s Life of Brian?

Brian – Gonzo I’m not sure how you’d work the rest of the cast.

Well, Sam the Eagle would have to be the pompous guard who gives the grammar lesson.

And the Joni Mitchell-looking muppet–the girl in the band, never caught her name–in the Carol Cleveland role.

And Lew Zealand as Pilate! “Wewease Wodewick!”

The Front Page.

Kermit: Hildy Johnson, reporter
Fozzie: Walter Burns, editor
Piggy: Piggy Grant, Hildy’s fiancée
Gonzo: Earle Williams, condemned murderer
Bert: Roy Benzinger, feature writer
Sam: Sheriff Hartmann
Ernie, Cookie, Guy Smiley, Statler, Waldorf, et al: City Room Boys

That’d be Janice, fer sher.
