Not to mention that Disney'll save tons of money playing around with Muppets instead of over-bloated CGI eyesores lol (while still somehow underpaying the animators) 🤣😭😢
Okay, I would watch Muppet remakes of Disney movies if that's what it takes for us to simply get more Muppet movies. Miss Piggy as Rapunzel and Kermit as Flynn Rider would be very good.
I'd like them to just remake all of their classic animations with the budget and expertise they used to create Moana; which is, in my opinion, the most breathtakingly beautiful Disney movie ever.
They did this with Winnie the Pooh in the early 2000s. The show is called The Book of Pooh (not a typo 😂) and is available on Disney+. It's creepy and amazing. And the songs are very catchy.
The Muppet fans have been calling for live action remakes of movies where everyone is played by a Muppet except for a single human actor with absolutely no explanation whatsoever.
I still think it is a crime that @filmandseries.bsky.social Disney owns both 'The Muppets' and 'Star Wars', yet haven't yet seen fit to do a crossover!! 😍🤩
I could go for both - "Muppet versions" with The Muppets Show muppets playing featured characters, or new muppets OF the traditional characters.
For example, Robin Hood could either be played by Rolf, or be a new fox Muppet version of the traditional character alongside known muppets in other roles
Funnily enough when Disney adapted the book 'Better Nate Than Ever' as a movie they changed the play Nate was auditioning for to be a Lilo and Stitch Broadway musical
(in the book he auditions for an ET Broadway musical)
Even if just the holidays! Muppet Christmas Carol is one of the best presentations of the story. Imagine a Muppet Legend of Sleepy Holly for Halloween. (Muppet Haunted Mansion was an attempt at that but eh. Gotta find the perfect writers…)
Rizzo the rat and Gonzo would make a great Timone and Pumba, miss Piggy as Nala (obviously) and I think it would be funny to either have Ralf (as he is so non threatening) or someone like Ton Hardy (dressed normally, but with a mane all around his face)

Muppets
Pride and Prejudice and Phantom of the Opera
They own the Muppets, they should just make a Muppet version of everything.
Get it together. 🙏
Or a stop motion Black Cauldron.
Or claymation 101 dalmatians.
