I for sure would. Ryan Reynolds as a Bard being played by Gonzo.
Gonzo is DM.
Fozzie = wise cracking Bard
Miss Piggy = Half-Oink Barbarian
Kermit = Elven Ranger
Animal = Wild magic Sorcerer
Rolf = paladin
Rizzo is obviously the rogue.
And Swedish Chef the local barkeep
Honeydew & Beaker run the apothecary shop
Dr. Teeth: BBEG, trying to rule the realm with Electric Mayhem
But Animal is their drummer.
Shhhhhhhhhhh! He’s a sleeper agent…Turns on the rest of the party at the end!
I think you’re trying to align the Muppets to what their personalities would be. Instead pick against type. Or as their off type. Gonzo has been the narrator in almost all the muppet versions of movies. So he’d be great at telling stories and winning over NPCs as a Bard.
Or how about Gonzo as the wizard who keeps getting KO’d in silly/pathetic ways, only he seems way too into it?
I like Rolf, but i think Sam the Eagle would be better a better choice as an uptight paladin.
Agreed. Rolf can be a Druid.
Oh hell yeah. Kermit as DM or Fozzie?
I kinda like the idea of the players constantly antagonizing the DM. Kermit could pull it off but I think he needs to be a player hero to pull off the script.
My dark horse Muppet DM pick is Sam the Eagle
Gonzo. Gonzo has his own view of the world, which is perfect for running a game.
All the wenches would be sexy chickens
I’m not sure Hasbro, the Hensen estate, or Disney would approve where this is going. But I do.
you don’t make them sexy, you just imply that they are.
No. Honorary Muppet Tim Curry. Just being himself. The only person not being played by someone else, they’re just themselves.
Even better. That way when The Big Bad™ comes up it can be Tim Curry!
Legit this is a fantastic idea
So kind of like Drunk History but with muppet dialogue instead of slurred speech?
If so, I’m sold.
Watch it? Hell, I’d crowdfund it if it wasn’t for the fact that Muppets are a Disney property. The House of the Mouse has more than enough cash to make this work.
FWIW, this format would work with a bunch of awkward teens at the game table.
You could also go the other way and re-release “Honor among Thieves” by constantly cutting away to the game table with hilarious die-rolls and the rest. Think: “Of Dice and Men”, or “Dorkness Rising”.
You might enjoy HarmonQuest! Bonus fun fact: the DM was originally just an audience member when Dan Harmon came up with the idea and asked for a DM, but is now a regular cast member.

An entire movie with half being lip synced live action sounds awful to make. That’s a lot of lip syncing.
But I’m sure there’s a bunch of tools and talent out there that could make this happen. And it’d be a fantastic movie.
Foreign dubs are basically whole movies lipsynced from start to finish and that happens all the time.
Also fair. but that actually opens up a whole bunch of opportunity. There could be so many easter eggs hidden in what the live action actors are actually saying, versus what the mupets are saying.
It doesn’t have to be lip synced well… that would be half the charm.
Having watched Kung Pow: Enter the Fist… Yes.
Drunk history X muppets. There you go
Sounds like Drunk History which I’ve always said would be better if it used muppets.
I would also watch the most recent D&D movie with scenes of the Muppets playing the game spliced into it.
there is nothing that cannot be improved by the addition of muppets
I think I’d pass on Muppet Schindler’s List.

Have you witnessed the glory of Pterodactyl Porn? (Don’t look up Attack of the Flying Lizard if you have any taste or morals.)
There is a certain adult Muppet detective movie with some pretty erm… graphic scenes

Disagree. A few felt jokes landed. Remove those muppets and the film is worse.
Edit: I totally fucked up this comment. Please disregard. I’m tired. It’s been a long day. I just need sleep. Good night everyone, and I wish you all the best for tomorrow ❤️

It does have Muppet sex though.

Let my puppets come …was an “adult” movie made with puppets
You think it wouldn’t? I’m not saying it’s be more arousing, but it damn sure would improve it.

Unfamiliar with Peter Jackson’s pre LOTR work?
Oh how quickly history forgets the horrors of the past…

You just described the vibe of Peter Jackson’s “Meet the Feebles”…

It wouldn’t be GOOD, but it’d take a bit of the edge off.
Just a little… Off the top!
“If you ask me, that headless fella’s actually the lucky one.”
“Why do you say that?”
“He doesn’t have to watch the rest of this show!”
OHOHOHHOHHHOHOHOHOO!
I’m sold on this.

So Jumanji The Next Level movie?
Jack black is obnoxious but he really did nail the high school girl impression.
I hate Jack Black’s acting.
I completely agree with your opinion.
It also works in Tropic Thunder.
I personally loved his Bowser in Super Mario.
Bowser!
I knew there were three roles I didn’t mind but couldn’t remember the third, that’s the one.
On the flip side, I didn’t like Nacho Libre for the opposite reason, he felt too reserved.
This is brilliant ! I would watch it in a heartbeat.
It’s a yes from me. Hitting the golden button!
