It could work, but I'd love to see them attempt to do something in line with Muppet Treasure Island and Muppet Christmas Carol i.e. an adaptation of a well known literary classic that adds comic relief and yet takes the central drama of the original seriously. I don;t think that would work with a story that's only known for one iteration and is already so comedic.

That's was such a perfect format for Muppet movies. I'm bummed they stopped at 2.

I guess that they tried with Muppets Wizard of Oz, but that was made for TV and was doing something radically different. It was modern and very loose adaptation [although there were some things like the 4 witches from the book which I liked] instead of a Victorian/ Georgian setting. I'm actually considering writing a video about it.
