What movie would you like to see with everyone but one replaced with puppets?

Posted by DokkanFallout

I would love to see Nightmare on Elm street with Freddy being the only human. That or Friday the 13th with Jason being the only one being human. The amount of funny/stupid kills that they could do would be amazing. This question has been burned into my brain lately and would love to see others ideas. Have fun and there are no wrong answers.

John Wick. That would be hilarious.

It would have to have the same production quality as the ED-209 scene from Our Robocop Remake.  https://youtu.be/i-9MbhK4tt8?si=93PyZdCHXTthmH2l

*Snatch*.  Turkish is the only human.  I was gonna say *Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels* because there’s a line about “whoever you use, make sure they’re not complete muppets” so it would be funny if the scouses were the only humans. But that breaks the only one human rule.

This, but Tommy instead

Dunno if it counts or not. Tommy is already a muppet.

I initially read the title as puppies, and then saw this and was like wtf

LotR: Return of the King.  Keep Denethor, everyone else is muppets.

I asked Elijah Wood in an AMA who should play him in a muppets remake of the film. Unfortunately he didn’t answer the question. I was super bummed.

I mean worth it for the scene of him hallucinating muppet Boromir over muppet Faramir’s shoulder.

I want to see muppet Gandalf bop him on the head with his muppet wizard staff.

Amadeus but Salieri is human

nowhereman136 Mar 23, 2026 +3
I'd make Salieri and Mozart both human. Both trying to appeal to a court of Muppets but Mozart acting more animated and thus out shining Salieri. But in general this is a really good idea

ImpulseAfterthought Mar 23, 2026 +1
This is great. The human works best as the straight man. (Well, Kermit is the straight man too, but you know what I mean.) Now, is Mozart played by Fozzie or Gonzo?

RockyPath1195 Mar 23, 2026 +6
Star Wars prequels. Ewan McGregor is the only human. Everyone else is CGI anyway. What's the difference?

Human Jason running around killing muppets? Ok. Muppet Jason running around killing humans? Baby now you got yourself a stew!

Isn't that basically Childs Play?

What about Child's Play but Chucky would be the only human?

loverrang Mar 23, 2026 +5
John Wick, but everyone except Wick is a puppet. The contrast of him being dead serious while fighting puppets would be amazing.

Surely AI could do this. (cue mass downvote for suggesting AI in a positive way)

I want to say Sophie’s Choice, but that might be a step too far, lol

You’ve come this far.  Who’s the sole human

Muppet Star Wars. Come on, Disney, you own both, just do it already!

Incredibly surprised an updated Muppet Star Wars hasn't happened yet

wildwildwaste Mar 23, 2026 +3
The Notebook, but Rachel McAdams is the only human. I think going the romance direction has a bigger lean into the hilarity of it all.

Boogie Nights (1997), Eddie is the human, everyone else are muppets.

For DECADES the concrete brutalism of Umass Amherst has made me want to remake A Clockwork Orange in puppets.

The only human is the writer's wife during the Singin in the Rain scene
2
sightlab Mar 23, 2026 +1
For me it was going to be the beautiful young woman who comes out and incapacitates Alex during Ludovico's presentation or the beefcake the writer has as protection later in the movie, but that's brutal. A big appleal for me and the friend Ive discussed it with for years was building the Allen Jones-style milkbar sculptures in "puppet".

**12 Angry Men**, with Henry Fonda's character being the only human. **Jurassic Park**, with everyone/-thing as a puppet except for the T-Rex.

Almost any movie that Daniel Day-Lewis has ever done. Lincoln, The Last of the Mohicans, TWBB, Gangs of New York...

Batman v Superman. Everyone except off-brand Lex Luthor is a muppet.
2
DokkanFallout Mar 23, 2026 +2
Off-brand lex would finally act "normal" with puppets as the others.
2
NativeMasshole Mar 23, 2026 +2
That's the beauty of it! All the puppets will play it totally straight while Jesse Eisenberg runs around like a muppet.

*The Wicker Man*, but keeping Edward Woodward as Sgt Howie. Gonzo the Great as Lord Summerisle, naturally.

Human centipede. Keep the woman in the middle

The Princess Bride. Buttercup is the human.

AStewartR11 Mar 23, 2026 +2
The original plan for the third Muppets movie was to do *The Wizard of Oz* with Kemit as the Tin Man, Fozzy as the Cowardly Lion, Gonzo as Scarecrow, Piggy as the Wicked Witch and a human as Dorothy. (I believe the Wizard was going to be the only other human). There ended up being an issue with the Baum estate that killed it, but I still yearn for that movie.

ZombieLover01 Mar 23, 2026 +2
The Thing. Starts out as all human characters and one by one they all turn into Muppets, but everyone pretends they look exactly the same.

DokkanFallout Mar 23, 2026 +2
This is fantastic. I would watch this in theaters.

Inglorious basterds. Undecided if I'd rather keep Brad Pitt or Kristoff Waltz. Edit: *Christoph

I'd love to see the *Fast and the Furious* gang as Muppets, with Vin Diesel the one human. Well, he's practically a Muppet anyway.

Who is the human? I'd love to see Kermit saying "What the f*** is in the f****** box?".

Honestly it’s hilarious no matter what character is the muppet.

Obviously The Truman Show. In fact, just about any Jim Carrey movie.

Clue. Just Tim Curry. I love everyone in Clue, but a Muppet version of that with just Tim would be amazing!

This should have been an obvious choice. The name says it all. Plus Simon Pegg being the only human arresting puppets would have me crying from laughter.

Miss Piggy being the innkeeper would be grand

Rocky Horror Muppet Show - self explanatory - Brad, Janet, and Dr Scott would be humans, but the rest of the castle is Muppets. Miss Piggy would be Dr Frank N Further The Magnificent Muppets - a western similar to Magnificent Seven. Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Walter, and 3 human characters would be hired to protect a small village. Miss Piggy runs the village. Would also have a human and Muppet gang run by a human Ans Then There Were Muppets - a haunted house who-done-it. Mostly Muppet cast with a few human side characters Planet of the Muppets - an astronaut crash lands on a planet inhabited by Muppets. The astronaut would be the only human Apocalypse Muppets - Capt Kermit has to travel up the Mekong River to assassinate Colonel Fozzie, who has amassed a cult following in the jungle. Mostly even mix of Muppets and humans

*Alien,* but the xenomorph is just a regular looking man, and the Nostromo crew are all muppets.

*Alien* and *Aliens*: Ripley is the only human and the xenomorph is the same.

I think Freddy or Jason being the only puppets would be funnier than them being the only "human"
