Let's take a moment to appreciate just how amazing the title cards were for Batman the Animated Series.

Laser Tag place, but every time you get shot, your vest and the shooter’s gun plays “Mmm Whatcha Say”.

Pitch: Muppet Lord of the Rings. Miss Piggy as Eowyn. Imagine her just throwing herself at a human man playing Aragorn. Imagine her defeating the Witch-King of Angmar by going “HI-YA!” and karate chopping him.

Throwing herself at Aragorn

Then Kermit arrives as Faramir and she just bodily pitches Aragorn offscreen

Aragorn is, of course, played by Viggo Mortensen reprising his role

The hobbits are Walter, Robin, Bean Bunny, and Emmett Otter

Janice is Galadriel

the eagles are just one eagle and it’s Sam the Eagle obviously

Legolas and Gimli are Gonzo and Rizzo

Sweetums is the Balrog

All of the orcs are Animal

Eunice Lake and Mount Rainier, Washington
