:zany:What if the Muppets remade the Lord of the Rings? Who would be cast as each character?

Check out this cool idea for casting all the Muppet characters in a remake of Lord of the Rings.

Obviously, Kermit has to be Frodo, and you couldn't pick a better Samwise Gamgee than Fozzie Bear, and Statler & Waldorf as the Black Riders... but the Sweedish Chef as Gandalf? Maybe not...

Hi and welcome to the craziness here at MC. Actually, this has been done. You might want to contact some members here who reside in Canada, specifically Lu775 and/or StryderWolfe so they can tell you with greater detail than I can... Silver Snail, one of the local Canadian retailers who supported the line of Muppets figures made by Palisades Toys, came up with a few store window displays of the Muppets figures recreating the battles of Middle Earth from the movie. Hope this helps and have fun exploring the rest of the forums.

I agree, that cracks me up! LOL

I would have cast Scooter as Pippin, since they're both the young, up-and-coming characters.

These made me laugh.

Gandalf - John Denver (if he were still alive - maybe some CGI magic?)
Arwen - Sam the Eagle in a wig
Bilbo - Statler… or Waldorf (they could switch off, like Mary Kate and Ashley did)
Black Riders - Gonzo (fell beasts, chickens, same difference)

And, the end was beautiful:

At the end, we find out that that... Sauron... is... really...

...ELMO!
