I was thinking of a Muppet version of A Midsummer Nights Dream, because a Muppet version of Shakespeare is a good way to get kids into Shakespeare. I also have a version of the tempest which I will talk about in a later blog.
This is the film I'm imaging could have been done (in 1999) instead of the Movie Muppets from space. In my oipnion that was when the muppets Jumped the Shark; I think what Gonzo is should be up to the audience. The Cast is as Follows ;Pupeteers are in Parentheses
THE ATHENIANS: Theseus: Kermit the Frog (Steve Whitmire) Hypollita: Miss Piggy (Frank Oz) Lysander: Nate Ritchert Hermia: Melissa Joan Hart Demetrius: Michael J. Nelson Helena: Alannah Ubach Egus: Ian MacDiarmid Philostrate Sam Eagle: (Frank Oz )

Robinson) Tom Snout/Wall: Floyd (Jerry Nelson) Robin Starveling (Moonshine): Janice (?)
