Let's Cast: The Muppets Odyssey

Would be an excellent adaptation.
I think Kermit should be Odysseus
Miss Piggy- Penelope, but only so she can complain the whole time about how Helen isn't that pretty... then have Helen played by someone like Margot Robbie.

Make them all Muppets except for Helen and Sinon.

I think Helen should definitely be human.
I'd say that Antinous would also be a good choice... would be great seeing him try to woo Miss Piggy. Also would make for a good bad guy having him human, I'd go as far as saying keep Pattinson in that role.

Kermit at Odysseus and Piggy as Penelope are both good.
Telemachus would be difficult given Kermit and Piggy don’t have kids so we’d have to break Muppet lore there.
Fozzie bear would obviously have to be Eurylochus, his first mate and second in command.
Gonzo as Achilles.
There are very few female Muppets really so I think you go Janice (ditzy guitar player in the Electric Mayhem band) as Athene. Kind of a perfect comedy casting really.
That means you probably have real actresses as Circe and Calypso.
Statler and Waldorf just have to be old men in Odysseus’ house just sitting back making fun of everything taking place.
Pepe the Prawn is probably the most underrated Muppet ever so you I’d give him a big name like Agamemnon, Zeus or probably most fitting is Poseidon.
Dr. Teeth (my avatar) would obviously need to be a bard.

Not having Ms Piggy as Circe is a missed opportunity
Have a human play Penelope

I really don't need to see Rowlf slowly dying on a dung heap.

Giant Chicken instead of the Trojan Horse. This would be Gonzo's wife. After the chicken is brought into Troy and everybody is asleep, a bunch of mice jump out with toothpick swords.

I would watch this movie opening night in theatres.

I think I'd have to have her be Penelope just because you could have Kermit/Odysseus return after 20 years...
Kermit tearing up seeing her: Piggy...
Piggy tearing up seeing him: My Kermie...
Then she gets pissed he's been gone so long, gives a big "HI YAAAH!" karate kick and for three minutes just wipes out all the suitors while Kermit just stands there holding the bow
I originally said Dr. Teeth as a bard but I like him better as Homer/the narrator. "Can you dig it man? Alright this next tune is about a cat named Odysseus."
Rizzo as Hermes could be great. Constantly having to fix everyone's problems and Rizzo would just complain the entire time.
Pepe as Posiedan is still my favorite casting. A tiny shrimp controlling the ocean and sarcastically giving everyone hell is kind of perfect.
Man, The Odyssey really is a perfect Muppet movie.

I'm not saying that's a bad option. I just think Ms. Piggy complaining about how Helen is considered the most beautiful woman in the world is a recipe for comedy... especially if Helen is casted as a legitimate bombshell.
Id also add that who ever you have playing Circe, the entire scene should be some of the unnamed Pig muppets being turned into humans instead of animals

Sorry...but the template has already been set. An actor plays Odysseus and every other character is a Muppet.
Just like Michael Cain did in "A Christmas Carol".
To me, it's Christian Bale.
Then you have:
Penelope - Miss Piggy
Telemachus - Kermit
The Suitors - Statler & Waldorf
Eurylochus - Fozzie Bear
The Sirens - Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mahyem
Argos - Rowlf
Circe - Janice
Helen of Troy - Camilla the Chicken
It needs some work, I know...but it's a start.
