Think of any story you like, and then

[Bongo]

pick at most two characters from it to remain human in the Muppet film adaptation.

[Sprite]

Tilda Swinton reprising her role as the White Witch in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

 

[Violentvixen]

Well I was going to say Les Miserables but it turns out they already did a short and renamed Fantine Flantine so I can't beat that

Actually yes I do want a full version of this because keeping only the two Thénardiers human would be amazing. Also I want muppet Javert.

 

[karzac]

Cate Blanchett in Tar

 

[gogglebob]

Keanu Reeves in The Matrix, becomes a muppet during the "I understand now" sequence at the finale.

 

[Torzelbaum]

[Paul le Fou]

Alien, only Ripley is human. The alien is also a muppet.

 

[Paul le Fou]

The journalist in Citizen Kane.
Jake and/or Noah Cross in Chinatown. I'm leaning only Jake.
Gandalf in The Hobbit and/or LotR.

 

[Vaeran]

John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich. Just an endless procession of Muppets sliding into his head.

 

[Falselogic]

It's a Wonderful Life. George Bailey and Mr. Potter are the only humans.
Gladiator - Maximus and Commodus are only humans

 

[Bongo]

Toshiro Mifune's character in Seven Samurai.

 

[RT-55J]

[karzac]

[Falselogic]

Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver from Treasure Island

Wait a second!

 

[Kirin]

Alien, only Ripley is human. The alien is also a muppet.

But consider, what if: Ripley is also a muppet, only Ash is played by a human.

 

[Kirin]

Indiana Jones, Sallah and Short Round.

 

[Torzelbaum]

Ghostbusters
Louis Tully and Walter Peck

 

[ThornGhost]

Yossarian in Catch-22

Immediately thought of this. Maybe Orr too, though it could spoil the ending.

 

[Exposition Owl]

Indiana Jones, Sallah and Short Round.

I am convinced that John Rhys Davies would be *fantastic* at acting alongside Muppets.

 

[lincolnic]

Ted Lasso, everyone but Roy and Keeley are Muppets.

 

[RT-55J]

Napoleon and Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite.

 

[Paul le Fou]

Yossarian in Catch-22

OK, I love this.

 

[Paul le Fou]

Dr. Strangelove, Peter Sellers stays

 

[Felicia]

But consider, what if: Ripley is also a muppet, only Ash is played by a human.

Alternatively (not following the rules, I know): Ash is the only muppet, but everyone is still shocked by his big reveal.

Another option: Everyone but the alien are muppets.

 

[Issun]

Anya Taylor Joy in The Muppet Menu

 

[karzac]

That's a good one
