Muppet Recasts of Movies

    THE GOONIES
    Mikey: Robin (I find Robin and Mikey a lot alike)
    Brand: Kermit (Brotherly/Fatherly type)
    Data: Gonzo (I can just see that fitting perfectly)
    Chunk: Can anyone help me here?
    Mouth: Fozzie (Loud, funny(ish), etc.)
    Andy: Miss Piggy (Gotta be Kermit's love interest)
    Stef: Janice (Witty, funny)

    I would've cast the Fratelli's and stuff but I just don't have the energy!

    Very interesting topic. Here's my take on a few movies.

    Muppet's Death At a Funeral(based on 2004 version):

    Daniel - Kermit
    Jane - Miss Piggy
    Robert - Pepe the King Prawn
    Peter - Bean Bunny
    Simon - Gonzo
    Martha - Camilla
    Justin - The Turkey
    Troy (& Roy[new character]) - Bunsen & Beaker
    Howard - Fozzie Bear
    Uncle Alfie - Statler
    Victor - Waldorf
    Sandra - Ma Bear
    The Reverend - Scooter

    Sesame Street presents A Prairie Dawn Pageant: Romeo + Juliet

    Romeo - Elmo
    Juliet - Abby Cadabby
    Capulet - Luis
    Lady Capulet - Maria
    Montague - Gordon
    Lady Montague - Susan
    Mercutio - Grover
    Benvolio - Telly
    Tybalt - Cookie Monster
    The Apothecary - Oscar the Grouch
    Prince - Herry Monster
    Paris - The Count

    with

    Friar Laurence - Big Bird
    Nurse(s) - Rosita & Zoe
    Abram - Baby Bear
    Balthasar - Murray Monster
    Gregory - Ernie
    Sampson - Bert
    Friar John - Snuffy
    Prolouge presented by Prairie Dawn

    While I would prefer Zoe as Juliet, chances are if this REALLY were to happen, then I'm sure marketing wise SW would use Abby instead.

    :wisdom:
