  • The only "creepy" one I can think of is the skeleton??

    I love the character in all their faces. Very beautiful marionettes!

  • @wobblydog notice the Maybe.......... but thx for pointing that out. so muppets are late 1950s, to think about it, that's why they look like hippies

  • @rochelimit55555 That comes across as either someone who is very stupid or naive, first of all Muppets started in the 1950's. The puppets in this video were made in a similar time period to Muppets, What you may consider "creepy" others may think are not some sweet saccharin version of a puppet, I personally don't want cutesie bits of foam rubber all the time, too many people think they are able to do "muppets" and can't i'm not a preteen.....

  • @AliceElphabaWonka maybe bcoz muppets were made for modern 90s kids, and the puppet in this video were made for pre world war II people, which were scary people.

  • @rochelimit55555 Haha why is that?

  • So Glad You Have Posted Videos...I visited the Harlequin Puppet Theater with my entire family in June of 2007...I insulted you by filming part of your Circus Show. I only did that to share with my 85 year old parents who could not make the trip. So I am very excited now to be able to show my 89 year old parents your lovely puppets. Thank-you so much...Blessings & Gratitude

  • Thank you for posting this great video. I have been a professional puppeteer for over 20 years and the thrill of great puppetry never gets old.

    Bravo!!!!!!!!!!

  • Excellent, and I mean excellent manipulation. We own a selection of 3ft Marionettes and generally get good response. Transportation has always been difficult though.

  • To think about it, I think the only puppet design that is not creepy is the one that looks like the Muppets and Sesame Street

  • as always, cool but creepy
