Simple enough, name a movie to remake with a Muppet cast.
Any genre you like, but you can keep just ONE human actor.
For example:
Escape From New York
Keep Lee Van Cleef

I was gonna say; if you cast Piggy in that movie it would be a tough call whether to let her play the lead (Ripley), the ass-kicking badass (Vasquez), or the literal alien Queen.

I think this casting problem underscores the need for more female muppets. Most of the recognizable ones other than Miss Piggy are still under contract with Sesame Street.

The OG Muppets had Piggy, Janice, Annie Sue (the other pig), Camilla, and not much else. The lack of good female Muppet characters led to Skeeter in Muppet Babies.

Yeah, and while I’ve always been a fan of Janice I’m under no illusions about her ability to carry a leading role. At least we have The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance now.
