if I had billions of dollars I would do cool things like revive Wishbone and fund a Muppet film adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express with Daniel Craig doing a silly Belgian accent

The next Muppet movie adaptation needs one thing. Make the Kermit the main character and use guest stars as side characters like the og movie using Steve Martin as a waiter, Mel Brooks as the evil doctor, ect. But most of all, no CGI. Green/blue screen at most.
I forgot about Wishbone! One of the greats to watch with my kids: Reading Rainbow, Bill Nye the Science Guy, Magic School Bus, and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!
If I had billions I would have walk-in and fly-in wildlife centres for foxes, hedgehogs, bats, etc.
And ask Guilermo Del Toro to create a children's book. Jerry Bruckheimer or James Cameron to produce the wild life rescue documentaries.
Also safe havens, medical training, research & photography
Would Daniel Craig also be a muppet in this scenario? And if not, would he be the only human in the movie? And would he address that everyone else is a muppet?
I'd Kickstart a elder scrolls oblivion remake, upgrading the graphics and including all of its removed content due to storage size on the disc, and have kvatch rebuild after a period of time. I would not however fix some of the more amusing bugs!
Muppet version of Rocky Horror Picture Show is the first item on my agenda after turning my abandoned local community schools into low income/free apartments with in-house farmer's markets.
Gonzo as Frank-N-Furter. Kermit and Piggy as Brad and Janet. Animal as Rocky. Scooter as Eddie. Sam the Eagle as the narrator. Janice as Magenta. Dr. Teeth as Riff Raff. Camilla as Columbia.
I don't think you need billions of dollars for the second thing, just an attorney to draw up some docs to make sure no-one pilfers that bangin' idea, and buy in from Disney (they own the Muppets now, right?). I'd take this on Shark Tank. I bet Cuban would be all over it!
I would fund a period costume film with Jennifer Coolidge, Daniel Craig and Hugh Grant who all accidentally meet on holiday in Scotland at the new White Lotus - Austin Land resort, (a Knives Out production).
Jolly japes ensue with a murder to solve (naturally muppets playing the rest of the cast).
🇵🇸😭💔🍉🍼“In the midst of this devastating war, my infant daughter is deprived of her most basic rights, just like the children of Gaza who endure unimaginable suffering. I appeal to all kind hearts to extend their support and help ease their pain. Your donation could save lives and bring hope.”
I confess I have no idea what Wishbone is but Muppet Murder on the Orient Express is a record breaking key good idea. Daniel Craig would have to take it very seriously though like Michael Caine in Christmas Carol
I agree as a Democrat but unfortunately I’ve always been curious why Elon? Why can’t we be going after every billionaire? We can’t ignore people like Mark Cuban.
The francophone king speaks English with a Dutch accent because he went to a Dutch language high school.Dutch speaking Flemish people have a very similar accent to the French speaking Walloons when speaking french a lot, l'accent du Nord, as we realised hearing ourselves & Walloons speak in France 😄
Isn't that so much more fun then if it all lined up nicely ?🥳 Hurray for absurdity and surrealism! Something Belgians are rather good at, it's not all beer and chocolate 😉.
I grew up on Wishbone and had one of the Wishbone books. Problem is that we will have trouble getting any studios 🎙 to produce it or Stations to air it.
Being that A Muppet Christmas Carol is THE BEST Christmas Carol yet nothing else has been "a Muppeted" this is easily the most logical thing to do with any money!
CC works because Michael Caine operates as if the Muppets are legit fellow actors. TI works because Tim Curry operates as if he’s a Muppet. Both are magic.
Maybe I just fell off after the best of the Muppeting. It was '92, I was 10. It was a glorious, glorious time! I'd go back if I could and probably never leave!
I would watch all of these. 😍
On a side note: Niece and nephew had a 90s Wishbone video game. If you left him sitting too long, he'd say "Bored," but if you hovered the mouse just right, he'd just rapidly repeat "Bored! Bored! Bored!"😂
I never thought about the silly good things that could be done with that kind of money, just like normal charity stuff. But funding PBS because Sesame Street helps people too would be absolutely worth every cent.
If I had billions I would have invested them in sovereign debt of resources-rich third world countries and spent coupon payments on funding all the charitable causes I have ever donated to/been interested in, in perpetuity. Setting up a trust fund would've carried that op long after I was gone.

Pour this amazing Muppet Nostalgia and lifetime Daniel Craig crush cocktail all over me.
Wishing you all the money as you are wise.

I think it could work.

Then tell me your favourite dinosaur
Belgium consists of 3 separate political entities, speaking Dutch, French and German respectively;
The imaginary M.Poirot clearly hails from the French one, called Wallonie, so his English is coloured with a lovely French -not a Belgian- accent

You had me at Daniel Craig starring with the Muppets.
How about buying a president.

He will sign the petition!
