$10,000 Puppet Pirate Treasure Hunt

Well this looks great. Forget the fact that you can win $10,000, I am interested in the puppet videos. I was very entertained. The writing is funny and visually it is very well produced. The puppets have a simple but nice look and the puppeteering is not that bad. I [...]

The Friendless Monkey And The Bee

Okay. So why did I post this? I enjoyed it. Well, I agree that it is not the best built puppets, but I think they have a very appealing quality to them. And the puppeteering is not so great, I was a bit distracted by the puppeteers head and a good amount [...]
