The Muppets and Lord of the Rings -- two beloved franchises that debuted in the 1950s. What happens if we bring them together? Join me on a journey into the Muppet Lord of the Rings Movie.
KERMIT THE FROG as FRODO BAGGINS
He& #39;d rather sit by The Water and play his banjo, but when the world needs him, he& #39;ll be there to accept his duty.

MISS PIGGY as SAMWISE GAMGEE
A devoted companion for Frodo. "I can& #39;t carry the ring ... but I can carry you! HiiiiiiYAH!" *launches Frodo like a football up into the Cracks of Doom*

BIG BIRD as GANDALF
We need someone who will tower over the hobbits, so why not one of the tallest Muppets? I think this makes Snuffy the Valar.

OSCAR THE GROUCH as STRIDER
People complain that the Peter Jackson movies made Aragorn reluctant to declare himself king, but I figure we can lean into that. Plus he must have a bunch of broken swords in that trash can. Slimy is, of course, Arwen.

ELMO as THEODEN KING
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,
a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
DEEEAAATTHHHH!!!!

Rigid and unwilling to accept change, but fiercely patriotic.

JOHN DENVER as GOLLUM
Every Muppet movie needs one human character. My family always loved the Muppet Christmas album, so let& #39;s have John Denver incongruously play Gollum. (Smeagol will, of course, be a Muppet.)
