I was sitting here thinking about how cool it would be for a Pigs In Space film to be made, and there were a few different ideas hitting me at once.
The first was to have the film begin (with new footage) the same as the sketches did on TMS, with our favorites from TMS at the theater as the call comes in from headquarters that the Swinetrek is needed to go into space for (insert plot here). But then, that idea vanished because it would have made the PIS more than a sketch and taken Miss Piggy into a real realm of being First Mate Piggy. On the same note, I could see the TMS characters saying bye to the Swinetrek crew at the landing/take-off pad...but same problem.
The second was to begin the movie in the same way as the sketch, but have the characters from TMS playing roles as themselves in a different setting, not unlike Kermit and Fozzie play themselves as Crack-investigative reporters for the Daily Chronicle (do you see?). IE, Kermit would be a chief of the PIS program This way, we could seperate the characters of PIS from the canon of the Muppets' history and have a movie.
Thirdly, PIS would not include anybody from TMS except the original, but updated, opening for PIS with Captain Link Hogthrob, First Mate Miss Piggy, Dr. Julius Strangepork, and a crew of other pigs that included Capt. Pighead (Peezhay) and Brainiac.
Costumes of all these would be based on the original suits of TMS days.
What other ideas do you have for such a thing if there were a PIS movie?
