Die Hard, Alan Rickman stays human.

The Truman Show, Truman.

Or for a different kind of funny, The Truman Show and the human is the director.

My family has discussed this specifically with LOTR for over a year now.

Keep Elijah Wood as Frodo. Kermit is Aragorn. Gandalf is Rolf the dog, has been a wizard before and can be Gandrolf. Arwen is Mrs Piggy. Sarumon is Sam the eagle Galadriel is Janice Eleond is Dr Teeth Rest of electric mayhem plays elves, except Animal, who plays the cave troll. Sweetums plays the Balrog Long Théoden is Fozzie Wormtongue is Statler and Woldorf.

We had more but these are highlights, and also the correct casting after much debate

Watchmen. I don't know who I want as a human, but it won't be Fozziemandias.

Dr Manhattan is the only choice to stay the same but "human" is debatable. Rorschach is a runner up

The Matrix, yes, but everyone is human inside the matrix and a muppet on the outside

The Big Lebowski, keep Jeff Bridges. It’s all an acid flashback.

[–] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 19 points 1 month ago

Do the Muppets do Muppet things or are they doing the performances in the original style?

I feel I would like dredd with Karl urban and zero changes to his performance, but the Muppets doing silly stuff.

No Country For Old Men. The old man at the gas station is the only human. 5 mins of random human screentime in a sea of Muppet violence

Hot Fuzz, but keep Simon Pegg

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Id like to make the argument for hot fuzz with either nick frost or david Bradley as the non-muppet. With an honorable mention to Peter Jackson because it would be funny to have the only real person be dressed as santa stabbing a muppet.

[–] CordialCephalopod@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

The Passion Of The Christ with Jesus as the only human would be a fascinating watch

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I Am Legend. Will Smith.

It would be an apocalypse where everyone was turned into a bloodthirsty muppet

This one takes the cake for me. Can you imagine a baby growing up 24-7 surrounded by muppets and knows literally nothing else? That's wild.

I'm definitely showing my lack of knowledge on live action movies, but Holes. Keep Stanley Yelnats. Make him forced to work with and be watched over by a bunch of muppets.

Either that, or To Kill A Mockingbird and keep the main character while having her surrounded by muppets.

1917, the human being the brother they're looking for.

I really just want to see that final trench run sequence with Kermit running at full pelt, arms waving as hundreds of Muppets go over the top

Rocky Horror Picture Show: Channing Tatum or John Cena or something to play Rocky, everyone else is a Muppet. Because no human alive could ever replace Tim Curry, but we could maybe use all of Tim Curry's original work to voice a Muppet.

The Neverending Story, Keep Atreyu

The Princess Bride, Keep Wesley

Legend, Keep Tim Curry

Apollo 13, and Forrest Gump, keep Tom Hanks for both.

The Labyrinth, but even Sarah is a muppet, and of course we are keeping David Bowie.
