Hear us out. The Muppets have continued to have cultural relevance for decades, and their cinematic adventures have attracted big talent. In an age of prequels, sequels, and retcons, it would be fun to see them revisit their origin tale from 1979 and reimagine how they might have all met and what adventures they might have gone on while seeking success in showbiz.
At the same time, the film could poke fun at the ways in which franchises and their characters are reimagined in today’s cinematic landscape.
Meta-pop culture commentary has always been a comfortable realm for the Muppets and this would allow them to even skewer their own beginnings.
Plus, with the excellent musical work Brett McKenzie did on their most recent movie outings, it would be fun to see brand new musical numbers created as sequels to or reimaginings of the original classic songs.
