What should the next muppet movie be about?

[MrsWembly]

If you had the opportunity to write the script for the next muppet movie, what would the plot be? Any takers? :confused:

[Giar Fraggle]

I don't have anything specific in mind, but generally I'd like it to star the Muppets as themselves, interacting roughly in the same continuity that The Muppet Show set up, much like The Muppet Movie and Muppets From Space did.

And Beauregard would be in it.

[Vic Romano]

Regardless of how you may feel about MFS, it was cool to have a Muppet movie focus around someone other then Kermit and Piggy. Now that Bill Baretta is doing such an amazing job with some of Jim's old characters (and the fact that he's my favorite current Muppeteer), I'd like to see a Rowlf story.

[Super Scooter]

A Rowlf story would be awesome!

Have you noticed, though, IAVMMCM was really the first Muppet project since Jim's death that centered around Kermit. In both MCC and MTI, I think the two main Muppets were Gonzo and Rizzo.

I wrote a story for a movie about Scooter. I even started the script! HA HA! It was based on the "Six-Stringed Orchestra" number from The Muppet Show.

[Vic Romano]

Well, MTI and MCC were based more around human characters more then anything, and it really only starred the Muppets, they weren't really themselves (except for Gonzo and Rizzo like you said).

But a Scooter movie? I'd definately pay money to see that!

[minor muppetz]

How about a sport movie, with the Muppets forming either a basketball, baseball, or football team? Or maybe they can play a sport that doens't get as much movie exposure, like Golf, Tennis, or Bowling. It would probably be a challenge to have the Muppets actually play sports in a movie.

Or, considering how memorable that the bicycle scenes in the first two movies were, how about a Muppet bicycle movie? Maybe Kermit, Miss Piggy, and a few others could be involved in a bike race, or they could be riding their bikes one day and sudenly get involved in an adventure, needing to use their bikes? A variety of effects could be used (radio controlled Muppets on bikes, the old-fashioned marionette way, the way it was done in the Ford Hybrid commercial, blue screen technology, minimum computer-animated Mupepts). There aren't very many bicycle movies.

Or maybe a Muppet version of The Three Muskateers, with Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo in the lead. Or a Muppet version of The Prince and the Pauper (though Kermit would have to portray a child, unless a human plays the title roles and Kermit only gets a supporting role).

[heralde]

Well, Mickey Mouse did the Prince and the Pauper without being a child. So did Barbie (though that's probably not the best example!) It's still possible. :)

[Giar Fraggle]

You know, Robin has always made a great prince. ;)

You should post it Scooter!
;)

[pepestarr]

I would like to see a story which is new, not based on any novels or anything as in the last decade, three of the movies have been based around other novels.

[Super Scooter]

;)
I think I will. The reason I stopped writing it is because it began too much like Muppets From Space. But I think I could come up with a better way to start it out. (at one point, on Scooter's way to stardom, he befriends Alice Cooper!)

[Frogster]

They should really have an Electric Mayhem story. Although, if they were to do that, they should have done it when Jim and Richard were around. But yeah, Vic... that'd be cool to see a Rowlf story.

Maybe it's just because this is my favorite show on, but I'd love to see them do a tasteful, yet hilarious, knock-off of Lost.

[PhsychoChimp]

Well, if since it's near by... Why not a re-introduction to the one and only UNCLE DEADLY!
Kermit, Rizzo, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Scooter are looking through some trunks in the old muppet theater. Kermit picks up a picture of the old crew, and notices a blured, blue-ish grey evil looking being. He tries to forget it, but soon, Gonzo, as luck would have it, unlocks a trunk, and finds an old cape, and mask. Similar to the one George scared them with.

Sweetums, and the other monsters are getting roudy, and Kermit goes to try and calm them. Gorgon declares the return of a monster. Boppity agrees. Kermit does a take to the camera and makes the crack, "Why can't these guys be more kid friendly... like the ones on a certain street I know..." He then decides to do a HALLOWEEN SHOW! Yay. In the middle of the show, Rizzo goes missing, then Scooter, Fozzie, Rowlf, Clifford, and the others, leaving only Gonzo, Miss Piggy and Kermit and... the MONSTERS. Then, a familliar voice is heard, as Uncle Deadly swoops from the ceiling, and cackles, claiming his return with errie smoke. He then sees Statler and Waldorf... and sighes. "Those two... They where here since I was killed on stage, 50 YEARS AGO!" "And you still stink! DOH HOHOHOHOHOHO!" Kermit would ask where the others where, and Deadly shrugs. "It's halloween. Free candy."

I don't know about all the stuff you wrote but I for one would adore a muppet halloween movie.

[MrsWembly]

I think PhsychoChimp's idea is excellent! Good job!

[Vic Romano]

And I think PhsychoChimp has one of the coolest user names ever :D

[BEAR]

I agree, I'd like to see the next one focus on the Muppets themselves again (like the first 3) rather than a parody/adaptation. They started to go back to that again with Muppets from Space, but even that lacked the great musical numbers.

seriously it's all about just dishing out the money to have paul williams come back...seriously..man the guys golden!:D

[BEAR]

And aside from Paul Williams, there are a lot of other great songwriters that could give them some fresh material. Disney already has a perfect candidate on their staff with Alan Menkin!

Mrs. Wembley made my blush! :sympathy:

[rumtar_10165]

That's definitely not it. How about something like The Muppets Thanksgiving Movie, eh?
