Amen! (Quite frankly, I think Disney is wasting money making live action remakes. We loved the originals. We don't need some screwed-up version of that with "real" people. And most of them suck anyway.)

Exactly! Meanwhile a Muppet retelling would follow similar beats but wouldn't be 1:1 because you'd have the personalities of the Muppets shining through the characters they were being cast as and the kind of parody humor they're known for
