Rock A Doodle:
Robin as Edmund
Kermit/Gonzo as Chanticleer
Miss Piggy/Camilla as Goldie
Hoots as the Grand Duke
Rowlf as Patou
Red as Peepers
Gobo as Snipes
MFS bear as Pinky

Phantom of the Paradise:
Floyd as Winslow (human)
Uncle Deadly as the Phantom
Janice as Phoenix
Paul Williams as Swan
MFS bear as Philbin
Zoot as Beef (LOL!)
Rizzo, Gonzo, and Animal as The Juicy Fruits band
Rowlf and Dr. Teeth as the two cops
Miss Piggy as the first girl auditioning
Statler and Waldorf as themselves, heckling from a balcony as usual.

Excellent!

Great casting, White Rabbit!

Maybe Statler & Waldorf themselves could have a hand in Winslow's disfigurement...

Statler: At least we won't have to deal with that again!
Waldorf: What, crushing his head?
Statler: No. Listening to him sing!
Statler & Waldorf: Doh, ho-ho-ho!

And the backup band could consist of that monster band from the Alice Cooper episode of TMS. In fact, one of the monsters actually *looks* like the Phantom!

LOL! XD

I know, that was my first thought too but I figured some of the muppets outside of the band would feel left out.

Rocky I-VI:

Rocky Balboa: Kermit
Adrain: Miss Piggy
Paulie: Fozzie
Mickey: Slater OR Wardolf
Rocky, Jr: Robin
Apollo Creed: Rolph
Tony (Apollo's Trainer): Gonzo
Clubber Lang: Oscar
Ivan Drago: Sweetums

The Muppets Guide to the Galaxy

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (I always thought that Douglas Adams' humor and the Muppets would be a match made in heaven):

Arthur Dent: Kermit the Frog
Ford Prefect: Gonzo
Trillian: Miss Piggy
Marvin: Fozzie Bear
Zaphod Beeblebrox: Dr. Teeth (or Floyd)
Slartibartfast: Dr. Bunsen Honeydew
Voice of the Guide: Scooter
Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz: Sam Eagle

( I'm gonna keep this to the Muppet Show cast, as Boober is the ideal Marvin, and I'm going to limit the character list to the main characters of the first book)

Has anyone done "Forrest Gump"?

Forrest Gump - Kermit
Jenny Curran - Miss Piggy
Lieutenant Dan Taylor - Gonzo
Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue - Fozzie Bear
Forrest's Mother - Jerry Nelson performing an old Kermit puppet in a wig and granny glasses
Young Forrest Gump/Forrest Gump Jr. - Robin the Frog

I would actually see Gonzo as more of a Zaphod, and Rowlf as Ford, perhaps? Awesome cast!

Or maybe Scooter as Ford, and the Vendaface machine as the voice of the Guide?

And then there's Eddie, the hopelessly cheery computer on the Heart of Gold - perhaps Lew Zealand?

I really like "the Little Shop of Horrors" idea, but maybe have Kermit as Seymour and Miss Piggy as Audrey, just because Kermit and Miss Piggy are already a pair. You should also have J.P. Grosse as Mushnik, Fozzie as Wink Wilkinson, Gonzo as a customer (parodying the character Christopher Guest played in the film), Scooter should parody Patrick Martin (the character James Belushi played), Thog should played Audrey II, Marvin Suggs should play the dentist (since he is sadistic), and Lew Zealand should play the patient (since he also loves pain), Bunsen and Beaker would be great alternatives for the dentist and patient. Camilla and two other chickens should play Crystal, Chiffon, and Ronette, the trio of women who sing throughout the film. Those are pretty much all my ideas.

Muppetmonster

I LOVE that idea! I'll help out with the idea.

Perhaps Kermit could play Danny. Miss Piggy and Annie Sue would play Sandy... and they'll fight each other for Kermit's affection (Miss Piggy more than Annie). Oh yeah, and Miss Piggy will also play the part of Rizzo (the girl, not the rat).

Any other suggestions from anybody?

Prof X: Bunsen
Jean/Phoenix: Piggy

Warlock (he's the cybernetic one, right?): Digit
Magneto: JPGrosse
Mystique: Aughra
Quicksilver: Animal

Scalphunter: Samson Knight
Mutant grunts: various monsters
