Here is a little more about The Muppets' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy screenplay:
Blurb
The Muppets present their version of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Vintage Muppets mayhem meets Adams’ dry wit, satire and absurdism in a rollicking adventure across the cosmos in search of the question to the answer to life, the universe and everything (which is 42).
Logline
The Muppets bring their patented form of mayhem to Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy when Kermit as Arthur Dent, Fozzie as Ford Prefect, Miss Piggy as Trillion and Gonzo as Zaphod Beeblebrox travel across the galaxy going from one adventure to another. They go from the total destruction of the planet Earth to a mythical planet that makes custom planets to The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, with The Muppets exploring Adams’ galaxy in search of the question to the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything (which is 42).
Tagline
Don’t Panic. In space, no one can hear you laugh.
