This is a shitpost community, but I'm 100% committed to this chart.
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

Muppets Hamilton
But what about all the gender or race swap possibilities?
Well they keep making Godzilla movies. I think I could watch a Muppet Godzilla movie.
Muppet Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
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 would pay good money to see this film.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
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.
Swedish Chef as Tom Bombadil is perfect!

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!

Muppet Interstellar.
"It's not possible... "
No, it's necessary.
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.

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.

Plugging "The Muppets Christmas Carol" as the most accurate version of the book. Hands-down, the Muppets actually make some quality content.
I thought the most accurate version was the Patrick Stewart one
Tap for casting spolier
It even has McNutty in it from The Wire!

What's wrong with Muppet remakes of Muppet movies? What if the Muppets puppeteered their own little Muppets? Muppetroyshka.

Muppet centipede? Human centimuppet?
That's much more wholesome. It's just all the puppeteers holding hands while wearing Muppet gloves.
The Matrix. John Wick. Dune. Get the original directors on board for the remakes. The possibilities are endless.
