It will never cease to befuddle me that Disney hasn’t put two and two together that they both own the Muppets IP and want to cash in on nostalgia for all their old movies like Aladdin with live action remakes no one seems to want. Just start churning out Muppet remakes! Or shit gimme a Muppet Star Wars and I’ll start counterfeiting money to go see them.
The Muppets improve basically everything they are involved with
Bombadil, Sauruman, and The Ring Wraiths are inspired choices. Might I add and revise a bit?
Elrond: Dr Bunsen Honeydew
Legolas: Beaker(Janice is a great fit for the look but i think I would rather her be…)
Galadriel: Janice
Gandalf: hear me out … Big Bird(although I dunno if Disney has the full rights to him)
I could cast this all day but I gotta get back to work

Ok, hear me out: Disney bought 20th Century Fox, so they control the rights to Die Hard...

You just wait till live action muppets appear

I bet people would have shown up for muppet Moana

Just don't touch The Princess Bride. It needs no remakes. I'm not actually certainly on that Muppets would improve that much.
Muppet Flight of the Navigator on the other hand.....

I would disagree if Andre were still with us and healthy

I think they’ve been scared to try anything since they bombed so hard with that Muppet The Office style show.

Perfection
May I humbly suggest the following additions if they also remake The Two Towers:

Okay, I'll concede Janice would be perfect for Galadriel.

Who would be the human in the remake, since there's always one? And for which role?
WagnasT@piefed.world · 24 pts · 46d
Sean Bean, Boromir, change nothing about his performance.

Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 46d
Or swap him with Rowan Atkinson
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 46d
Frodo is human. Sam is muppet. Maybe Scooter.
Sam the Eagle as Sarumon. It would be genuinely distressing to see him turn bad - just like the story wants.
TheMadCodger@piefed.social · 1 pts · 45d
I was thinking Sam the Eagle as Elrond. Both serious and they even look alike.
And I wanted the Eagles to be the chickens Gonzo always has around.

I would watch a shot for shot extended editions Muppets remake and would be happy for ever.
The Muppets do make every film better.

As long as they add in ALL the songs from the book.
And Tom Bombadil. That's non-negotiable.

@The_Picard_Maneuver in the same way the the Princess Bride is a perfect movie and should never get a remake. Unless it's Muppets.
