A muppet lord of the rings

[Random]

no no, kermits quite humble as well, he's perfect for frodo

isildurs heir is way to high and mighty to be played by kermit

But Aragorn is along unbearably earnest and helpful.

Aragorn is a classic hero. Kermit is a meek little creature full of insecurities and self-doubt.

And as to Miss Piggy, when you've only got two female characters in The Muppets and three female roles in LOTR to fill, why waste her by cross gender casting a glamorous high maintenance diva with anger management issues as an ascetic, wise old man ?


I'm taking this way to seriously.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Not too seriously. Just seriously enough. I agree with all you've said so far.

 

[Voley]

So we're agreed that this is an excellent idea. The only question now is whether it will stretch to three films (each three hours long) to be followed by three equally long instalments of The Muppet (An Unexpected Journey). In 3D at 48fps. I say it can, along with a Muppet Silmarrillion side project.

I think one film of LOTR would be quite enough with every instalment dealt with in a brisk half hour. 48fps though, show me the felt !

Because the female characters in LOTR are insignificant, and Miss P will need far more screen time

 

[Mungy]

I would go with Animal as Gimli, though he'd also make a good Balrog.

[can of worms] he has no wings.

She might make a decent gollum.

Has to be really, if Kermit is Frodo.

 

[starfish]

Surely Robin would be a better choice as Frodo with Kermit playing Bilbo.

That's a great idea. And at the end we would find out that the precious she was after all that time was kermit himself.

Bilbo isn't really in LOTR. Robin can play Frodo to Kermit's Bilbo when they move on to make The Muppet Hobbit.

That's rather cute.

But at the end when he rejects her she goes nuts, bites his ring finger off then throws herself off a cliff (into boiling lava as she always was overly dramatic. Seriously was an overpass too common for her or something?)

That's rather cute.

Less cute now?

 

[Reno]

Less cute now?

Your version isn't, but Random's was.

Redemption is always a big part of the Gollum plot. This would just make it more so, and cutesify it up a bit. Everyone loves Gollum, really.

 

[DotCommunist]

redemption through death. Tolkeins innate Catholicism there

The other day my (2-year old) daughter was enjoying carrying a baguette home from the market, but was finding it awkward to carry while walking. She didn't want to let me take it, so I said 'Come on darling, I can't carry it for you - but I can carry you', picked her up and we went home.

That nerd anecdote had a foul taste that I savoured painfully

why didn't you just fly her home on a giant eagle

the deuterium crystals were out of charge on the deus ex machina

 

[Kaka Tim]

if we're including sesame street characters as well -

The count as sauraman

Cookie monster as gollum (my precious .....COOKIE!)

 

[Vintage Paw]

Excellent bump of an excellent thread. Why hasn't this been commissioned yet? Hmm?
