You must allow us to tell you how ardently we admire and love this idea…
It is a truth universally acknowledged that we will watch anything featuring bothTed LassostarBrett GoldsteinandThe Muppets.

“You’ve doneMuppet Christmas Carol.
You’ve doneMuppet Treasure Island.
You’ve doneMuppet Wizard of Oz,” said Goldstein.
“Can I kindly pitch that we makeMuppets Pride and Prejudice?”
“I’d love to do that,” she replied.
“Brett, you’ve got pull in this town.
Can you getPride and Prejudice and Piggygreen lit?”
From there, the idea evolved to also include a pitch forMuppet Sunset Boulevardwith Miss Piggy as Norma Desmond.
Kermit offered to produce both efforts if they get green-lit.
As for Robin, well, he’s ready to make a cameo in a very memorable scene.
Robin was up for the idea, replying, “Oh, I’m good at swimming.”
