    Buddy... Let's not forget the part where parents thought it was an actual Barney-type movie and were horrified by what they saw and obviously complained about it. The filmmakers replied to the chaos by saying something like 'reading is essential'

    If I might suggest a weekday weigh-in, what classic story should get a Muppets film adaptation next? I'm not much of a Christmas guy, so I'm not a big fan of The Muppet Christmas Carol, but, objectively speaking, it's hard to beat the definitive Christmas and pirate stories as sources.

    Maybe the labors of Hercules? Instead of doing a basic live-action remake of the Hercules animated flick, Disney could mix such a live-action remake with Muppets.

    Perhaps an original Sherlock Holmes mystery? Gonzo could make a great Watson to a human Holmes... Maybe a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Bram Stoker's Dracula (as in, the book story, not the Coppola version)?

      Love the Sherlock Holmes idea a lot. Get a human to play Holmes and make Kermit his Watson. Who should the human be?

      Hugh Jackman as Holmes

      Not to Marvel things up too much, but I think Michael Fassbender could be an awesome Holmes, especially with some dyed-black hair. Maybe Tom Hiddleston, too.
