Puppetry - Tumblr Posts
Obviously this is an adorable bit but I'm so struck by how different this is from so many little kid shows today like.......the muted colors. no background noise. no sound effects. you can literally hear Jim Henson breathing between his lines. Ernie is talking very slowly, meandering, letting the kids digest the info. it's a full minute before you get the payoff of it all. man
“Maybe these are bad movies and you actually only like them because they have puppets in.”
Maybe you should shut up. Don’t listen to them, Labyrinth, they don’t know what they’re talking about
I’ve been on tumblr now for a little bit and it’s kind of hard to find people to talk to so, if you like any of the following pleaseeeeee talk to me I love silly little chit chats
- Queen (the band)
- David Bowie/Labyrinth
- anything that uses really cool puppets or practical effects
- The Muppets
- How I Met Your Mother
- Friends
- Little Shop Of Horrors
- musical theatre
Please please say hello, I’d love to meet people :)
can we as a society make puppetry cool again. like lets make it trendy. Mainstream. more people should get into doing it and more people should appreciate it. puppetry requires craftsmanship and charisma and physical acting and vocal performance!! you can’t get that from ai. it has a charm to it that neither 2D nor cg animation has. Have you ever watched a puppetry performance and realized you were genuinely convinced that the puppet was getting into bed or eating something or giving a hug that you wholly forgot there was some guy’s arm in there.
isn’t it lovely. to make a funny little guy to tell stories with. is that not so human of us. it’s such a lovely art form. I love you puppets I love you muppets I love you marionettes I love you handmade sock puppets I love you paper bags with googley eyes I love you armatures I love you I love you I love you!!!!!

HAPPY 40TH ANNIVERSARY TO ELECTRIC DREAMS!!
i wanted to make something way out of my comfort zone to celebrate the 40th anniversary, so i went with puppets! i definitely learned a lot, got frustrated a lot, but overall had a ton of fun. as shown by the photo though, i only got miles done on time, but madeline and edgar will be made! it’ll just take some time from now. the edgar used for this picture is the one i made for when i cosplay miles!
on july 20th, 1984, electric dreams was released to theaters. due to sudden executive concerns, the movie had to be pulled out of theaters only 2 weeks after its first run, but the movie still managed to survive through reairings, rentals, and cult followings (so if any EDheads wondered why it did so bad at the box office, that’s why, it got yoinked)
this movie… very funnily enough isn’t even my number 1 favorite movie (it’s in the top 3 though) but it IS the number 1 inspiration i have for a lot of what i create and do, its a really charming movie, and 80s as all hell. here’s to many more years of celebrating this piece of art :]
Skeksis puppet is finished! The eyes blink and the mouth moves. I might make a more in depth post later.
THIS IS THE COOLEST FUCKING THING I'VE EVER SEEN

As it would happen, entering a craftsman’s shop for the first time only to come across little puppets made in your image is not considered creepy in several regions. While it might be an older practice, many folk still find the making figures of their potential clients as a form of welcoming and endearment. In lands such as Connlaib and Wydlaib, where idols and votives are often used to represent deities or ancestral guardians, this practice signifies that one has already been accepted into another’s household as a guest. Alternatively, the crafting of such things lends itself to traditional beliefs of control as old stories speak of cullahs (medicine men/doctors) who had been wronged by rowdy rompers using their hands to manipulate and strangle those who had transgressed them through dolls like these.
