Right now, we're working on Who Framed Kermit The Frog. We'll work on the others some other time.
Here's what we have for it so far:

Who Framed Kermit The Frog?
Right now, we're working on Who Framed Kermit The Frog. We'll work on the others some other time.
Here's what we have for it so far:
I think we should deffiniately hae some in-jokes. Like, I would like to have a scene where Fozzie and Scooter are sitting down watching Giligan's Island reruns and sharing jokes out of the backs of old Reader's Digest. (This is taken from a line in the book "Of Muppets and Men". The wirter brings out how he could picture the two of them doing just this.)
How about Kermit gets framed for committing a crime? The gang including Fozzie, Gonzo, Piggy, Rizzo, Rowlf, Scooter, Electric Mayhem, Pepe, Bean, Sweetums, Honeydew, Beaker, Johnny, and Sal (and muppet fans) have to save him from going to jail. It can feature yuppie mothers criticizing Kermit for entertaining adults and not just doing Sesame Street. Maybe there can be a few cameos by people like Winona Ryder and Paul Reubens, who can give Kermit advice on avoiding the media.
yeah i like! it would be awesome to see some fans help them escape or something! oh man i can see it now! that's an awesome idea! there could be a female cop and Animal and Pepe could either scare her off or get her on their side! but it needs music!!!!!! i liked the 70's funk in MFS but it also needed some musical number type things! scooter could be the "accomplice" oh that would be funny an evil scooter!
If we do the heist story, it could take place in Vegas, and Johnny and Sal are their Liazons of sorts.
ooh i like i like! they could have 'connections' haha!
I've got it! We start out with a shot going through the casinos and streets of Vegas! Various humans, Muppets, and Link Hogthrob are gambling. We then cut to a house outside outside of Vegas where we discover Kermit The Frog, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Pepe, Scooter (you won't discover he's an accomlice just yet), Bunsen, Beaker, Rizzo, Beauregard, Seymour, chickens, penguins, etc. All living normal lives. After we establish a few things, Kermit finds out there's a warrant out for his arrest. (I don't know if we should have him go to jail or not, just let him try to figure out who framed him) Him and the rest of te Muppets that are listed here would grab a car (cramped space) And head off, to avoid getting arrested.
Johnny and Sal (the Muppets liazons? Or the bad guys liazons?) Find out who it is that set Kermit up by using their connections (Swedish Chef, Pops, The Electric Mayhem, a few other of our favorite Muppets. That'd be funny) Kermit and the gang go to the bad guys place to confront him. After they do, the bad guy reveals to them that they have the place surrounded. Kermit and the gang manage to escape. Something happens where the Muppets (other than Fozzie & Scooter. Scooter sneaks off before this) reveal that they were in on the whole thing. Kermit and Fozzie continue on alone, but before our last showdown with the bad guy, the other Muppets (other than Scooter) realize their mistake and go to help Kermit out.
The showdown. Kermit and Fozzie agree to meet the bad guy at his casino. They talk a bit, when the bad guy reveals his accomplice, Scooter. Scooter tells them "What? They offered me my own theater!"
It appears as if Kermit and Fozzie are finished when all of a sudden our Muppet gang attacks from above. Johnny and Sal revealed that they caught the bad guys confession (told to Kermit and Fozzie before Scooter is revealed) on tape. Our bad guy goes to jail and our Muppet gang rejoices... that's when they realize Scooter is there rejoicing along with them. They all look at him as he continues alone. He stops. "Well, I'll let you play in my theater!" They continue to rejoice.
yeah! there has to be a scene where Johnny is in a casino lounge singing. Maybe Rowlf can be playing piano for him at the gig, and Sal can be disguised as a waiter and secretly record the bad guys' conversation. Sal can keep on going back to their table and ask them alot of questions ("How many ice cubes did you want with that?") so he can hear their conversation. Maybe Johnny can even go into the audience and go up to the bad guys' table.
Maybe when they actually all get together to capture the bad guys, it can be at the Hard Rock Cafe. The Electric Mayhem can be playing a gig there, and the rest of the gang can hide on the walls and ceiling disguised as memoribilia. (Maybe the 3 Elvises can help out too and do some Karate)
I think the most important thing now is figuring out exactly what Kermit is being framed for. Maybe whatever it is, Scooter can get involved in it without knowing it. Like Scooter- "oh guess what Kermit, I just got this 2nd job, where I deliver packages." Kermit "That's great Scooter, now if only I can figure out who's behind all of this."
The Swedish Chef can be a cook at the casino, Beauregard can be a janitor, and Pops can be a regular at the casino. They can all know what's going on with the crime, and let Johnny and Sal know, they'll kind of be the main detectives. Maybe Piggy can even be a Vegas dancer in one of those big Vegas shows, Fozzie can do some stand-up, and Bunsen and Beaker can be Penn and Teller like Magicians. It'd be a perfect opportunity for Statler and Waldorf to do some heckling.
Alright? And here's what we've got for the other two.I would like the Electric Myhem to be sort of a MAFIA type scene. They try to sell Johnny and Sal information, but, Johnny being Italian, convinces them that he's part of "the family, and they wouldn't want him to tell the big boss". They agree to give him the information for free.
Pigs in Space: The Movie(got this from the muppets 3D line) the main characters would be:
Link Hogthrob as Capt. Link Hogthrob
Miss Piggy as First Mate Piggy
Julius Strange Pork as Dr. Julius Strangpork
Heather HammHocks as Cadet Hamhocks
Kermit T. Frog as Kermit Toad (piggy's love intrest)
Spa' am as Cadet Spa' am
Peter Porker as The villanious Capt. Porker
The Electric Mayhem story- this would show us how the electric mayhem come together,starting with Animal and Sgt.Floyd as babies. it shows us the people that have come and gone and the member who never was.
Alright? Let's continue with the Who Framed Kermit The Frog? storyline.I actually started writing an Electric Mayhem: Behind the Music story, if you like you may pick apart what I have for the story.
