Kermit , Prince of Denmark In 1999 , composers Jeff Marx and Bobby Lopez wrote eight songs and a script treatment for a Muppet feature film called Kermit , Prince of Denmark . Similar to " The Muppet Christmas Carol " and " Muppet Treasure Island " before it , this was a very loose adaptation of an earlier work , this time William Shakespeare ' s play " Hamlet " . Unlike the previous two , " Denmark " didn ' t retell the story , but featured an original story with the Muppets that paralleled " Hamlet " , making recurring references throughout the songs and script . In the outline , Kermit accidentally travels to Denmark , where he turns out to be the exact double of Prince Hamlet and is frequently mistaken for him . Gonzo and Fozzie were to take on the roles of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern , while Miss Piggy would play both the " lovely Ophelia and the generous Gertrude " . Jason Alexander is listed in the treatment as the evil King Claudius . The project was conceived as a musical , with Marx and Lopez writing songs for the project as part of their participation in the BMI Workshop , a training ground for many composers , lyricists , and book writers in the musical theater . Marx and Lopez won the 2000 Kleban Award , a $ 150 , 000 endowment to encourage musical theater writers , for the " Kermit , Prince of Denmark " lyrics . ( They tied with four other writing teams and received $ 37 , 500 of the total endowment . ) The project was sent to the Jim Henson Company , but according to Jeff Marx , " Brian Henson said he wasn ' t interested , and that was that . " Marx and Lopez went on to write " Avenue Q " , a musical parody of " Sesame Street " , which opened on Broadway in 2003 , and won three Tony Awards . Marx said that the experience of being rejected by Henson made them determined not to write for other people ' s characters again . Marx says that the pair was approached in 2004 by the head of the Muppets Holding Company : " When Disney bought the Muppets , we were approached about making " Kermit , Prince of Denmark " into a film . Chris Curtin was the Disney guy in charge of the Muppets , and he was the one we were talking to . It looked like it was a " go " - - until Chris left the company , and that was the last we ever heard of the project . "
