    The thing about Live Action Adaptations of an Animated Work is an Obscure Hollywood loophole where you don’t have to pay anybody involved in the originals any royalties.

    I forget the exact Court Case but a couple decades ago the courts decided that the live action remake and the animated film it was based on were too different to warrant royalties, even in the case of 1 to 1 scene recreations.

      I don’t want them to get royalties, I want an end to this madness.

      Good to know I don’t have to feel bad for refusing to watch live action adaptations of cartoons or comics I like though! Draw it or GTFO!

      [not Muppet related]

      The second Knives Out movie was inspired by the far superior ‘The Last Of Shelia.’ Watch it and enjoy.

    I want a muppet remake of Boondock Saints.

    edit: but no muppet for Willem Dafoe, he’s back to reprise his role like nothing is unusual here

    The best Muppet movies are modern retellings of old stories, like Treasure Island or A Christmas Carol. So I say we make Muppet Fall of the House of Usher.

    What would be the most inappropriate Muppet remake? Off the top of my head:

    • Muppet Schindler’s List
    • A Serbian Muppet Film
    • Requiem for a Muppet Dream
    • Muppet Audition
    • Old Muppet Boy
