Sunday Night Puppet Omnibus
I didn’t have time to blog much last week (sorry!). but be sure to check out all of these links, there’s been some great stuff going on all over:
- Escape Pod Films – a team that includes Jeremy Westphal of Puppet Rapist (see previous post) – made a funny little short called Get on the Winning Team.
- Chances are you’ve already seen the video, but how awesome is that Cartoon Network used their Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends Float (populated by a bunch of puppet characters, natch) to stage the ultimate rickroll at last week’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
- Speaking of which, Kermit the Frog performed in the parade too and earlier this month the Muppets took over the Today Show.
- Ryopets is a new puppet podcast from Mexico en Espansol.
- Thin Edge Puppets (Gordon Darrall and Josh Lyon) contributed puppets and puppetry to Canadian “Nerdgrass” band The Gertrudes’ new music video Blackbird and the Cedar.
- Finally, it’s important to remember that not everybody likes puppets (via Puppet Buzz).
