   Okay, here's your fun #question for the day: what movie should be made into a Muppet movie, with every single character being played by a Muppet except one, which will be played by Timothée Chalamet? Show your work. #BoostsWelcome

     Saruman is the Swedish Chef
     Gandalf is Scooter
     Gollum is Animal
     All the Orcs are Fozz E Bear

     @intransitivelie ooops yeah I ran out of muppets I knew by name HA! How about Bert and Ernie as Merry and Pippin, Beaker is Samwise and Prof Honeydew as Frodo? The rat can be Gimley.

     @Crystal_Fish_Caves
     I like Swedish Saruman and can already picture that.

     But what about the Hobbitses? Gonzo as Frodo? Or perhaps as Pippin? If the latter, Rizzo as Merry, or maybe switch the two? Who's least responsible of Gonzo and Rizzo? And who else can fill those giant hairy feet with them?

     Sam the Eagle as Denethor? But who to play Boromir and Faramir?

     Uncle Deadly as Grima Wormtongue, I think. Which then I guess means that Theodin has to be Rowlf?

     And Crazy Harry as the one orc who blows up the outer ring wall of Helm's Deep.

     I'm missing so many others. I worry there aren't enough Muppets to do it justice.

     But Swedish Chef has to be Saruman. As befits your brilliance, I hereby present this humble rendering of what I see in my mind's eye as tribute.

     Oh, I'm sorry, the Fozz as orc thing was brilliant too and I didn't say that before. The mass battle scenes of hordes of Fozz Es are *chef kiss*.

     What about maybe Big Bird as Legolas and Mr. Snuffleupagus as Gimli?

     I was thinking the newscaster Muppet as Elrond, or maybe the vain pig whose name I can't remember? I'm scraping the bottom of the Muppet barrel, I know.

     And then we've got Janice as Eowyn, whom I can't believe I forgot.

     Since we're going Sesame Street for the Hobbits, what about Grover as Sam and Elmo as Frodo? Then we can shift Honeydew and Beaker to Boromir and Faramir. The concept of Faramir only ever saying "Mee" amuses me, but maybe it's a cheap shot on the Captain of Gondor.
