    I don't think Kermit would be quite as zany as Roger, but I can still totally see it working. Since Kermit's the more laid back one, maybe somebody more zany could play Eddy. Hmmm....
  6. Dominicboo1 Well-Known Member

    Piggy as Jessica Rabbit is pretty good!

    Maybe a human could play Eddy, as in the movie Eddy is a human living in a world with a bunch of cartoons. Here, Eddy could be a human living with a bunch of puppets.
  8. Dominicboo1 Well-Known Member

    Yeah! That works!
  9. Dominicboo1 Well-Known Member

    Good but, why sweet lovable Annie Sue as Gozer? The rest of it's great though!
  10. Dominicboo1 Well-Known Member

    How about Annie Sue as young Jenny?
