I'm not sure there are two actresses today who are as homely as those two.

As homely as who? Kendrick and hathaway or clooney and vera ellen?

Seth McFarlane. He can do goofy and has a terrific singing voice.

Harry Connick, Jr for the Bing role.

There's only one possible group that could carry this off...Bob-Kermit Phil-Animal Betty- Miss Piggy Judy- Janice Waverly- The Swedish Chef Emma-Gonzo
