I enjoyed shopping Muppet Chigurh but clearly the movie should follow in The Chrismas Carol tradition and be a totally deadpan live-action Javier Bardem going around killing muppets with a captive bolt pistol

A Muppets Seven Samurai, because obviously. And a Muppets Godzilla with a giant Cookie Monster as Godzilla; they have to bake a stadium-sized chocolate-chip cookie in order to save Tokyo.

A Muppets Third Man could work. For some reason I see Fozzie in the Harry Lime role.

I really really want to see
“the muppets go to malibu”
Which is of course the Big Lebowski remake. Oscar as walter grover as donny and fozzie bear as the dude.

Muppet Se7en. Morgan Freeman stays, Brad Pitt replaced by Kermit, Gwyneth Paltrow replaced by Miss Piggy, Kevin Spacey replaced by Fozzie. Cookie Monster’s body is the first one found, Gonzo is forced to wear the knife with Camilla the chicken.
If you want Brad or another human to stay, Morgan is replaced by Rolf the dog.

It is sadly rare that I actually laugh out loud, but your shoop under this premise is one of those cases.
Thank you. That’s all.

no. 66: The King’s speech:
The key to a Muppets version of this is that Geoffery Rush would keep his role and the role of the King would be played by the Swedish Chef.
no. 60: Gandhi:
If I even have to explain the merits of Muppet Gandhi then you’re not the target audience for this list.
no. 24: The Sound of Music:
A crowd-pleasing musical about love, family, and the power of song that’s also about how much the Nazis suck. I need Kermit ripping up the Nazi flag and I need it now.
If Laibach can do it…
no. 4: Everything, Everywhere, All at Once:
Do I really need to explain to you how incredible a Muppet multiverse would be? This is the only film that’s done the multiverse well and if anything can save the concept from the dredges of creative bankruptcy that it’s currently in, it would be The Muppets.

So, I’ve got this pitch-
Kermit and Piggy as Brad and Janet, obviously.
Sam the Eagle as Dr Scott
Dr Teeth as Eddie
And Peter Dinklage as Rocky.

no. 22 The Silence Of The Lambs
Look at the picture of Hannibal Lecter and now imagine it was Gonzo. Exactly. Do you know what would make Buffalo Bill more haunting? If he were played by Fozzy Bear.
