The Sound of Music
Every movie is a muppet movie waiting to happen.
“No Country for Old Men”, with the killer played by Sam the blue eagle.
“Brokeback Mountain”, with Kermit and Foxzie Bear playing the leads, no human roles.
Rowlf as the unexpected lead in “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Fistful of Dollars”, and “Fistful of Dollars”. In Lawrence of Arabia, only the other British soldiers are played by humans. In the Spaghetti Westerns, the only humans are the women.
“Smokey and the Bandit”, with Kermit as the Bandit, Rowlf as the trucker, the bride played by a real person, Miss Piggie as Smokey, and Fozzi Bear as the groom/deputy.
“The Blues Brothers”, starring Kermit and Fozzi as Elwood and Jake. All the other characters are Muppets, but the bands are played by real blues musicians.
“Brazil”: Kermit as Sam Lowry, Robert Dinero reprising his role as “human” Tuttle, Miss Piggy as Sam’s mother, and Jill Layton played by the only other human.
Except for Animal, who’s playing the drums
Oh, this has been in the back of my mind for years!

Every Best Picture Winner Ranked by How Good a Muppets Version Would Be
“Imagine this. Kermit the Frog in his little Columbo jacket and tiny fedora, backed up by Fozzy, Gonzo, Miss Piggy, and Rizzo. What are they doing? Uncovering the sexual abuse crimes of the catholic church. Billion dollar box-office.”
That articles okay. But, man my guy only talks about Kermit and literally no one else.
Arabian Nights “Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp” (Not Disney’s Aladdin) Gonzo and Fozzy could be the Genie’s Note I say Genie’s plural because in the original Arabian Knights story, there are two. He has one that he can summon from a ring that in the Disney adaptation became the carpet and the other from the lamp that’s “The second more powerful Genie” Source for the uninformed
Other than that, I could see Aladdin being human or Kermit, and Rizzo being the “Abu character / friend” Miss Piggy could be the princess character or she could be another human
This isn’t really something I’d like done by the muppets per se, but I can’t help but bring up there are a ton of stories from the East that have never seen screen time on mainstream TV, like the story of Momotaro or the 108 Heroes of the Water Margin, both of these which can be argued as ideas.
Inglorious Bastards
