“OK” nicely combines puppetry and pop-up books. I know at least a couple puppeteers who love to make pop-up books. This music video from an unfortunately named band seems to combine those two interests very nicely. Via Mary Robinette...
Four puppets have a “little” problem in this video originally created for the 2004 Eurovision contest Abba: Our Last Video features “4 small puppets who look very much like the original `70s Swedish supergroup ABBA are try to get a recording contract in Stockholm, Sweden 1974,” and with a description like that, honestly, what more...
Puppetables are a series of videos featuring puppets made by German puppet builder extraordinaire Norman Schneider.

An anthropomorphic guitar puppet, as seen in a video of Alvino Rey playing a pedal steel guitar. Here’s some cool vintage video of “Alvino Rey playing his pedal steel guitar in an early talk-box-like situation, with an anthropomorphic guitar puppet and a guy in a really odd hat.” `Nuff said. Via Boing...
We Being Us is a new series of quirky videos on YouTube. I’m kind of digging We Being Us, a relatively new series of videos on YouTube. They’re very simple and have a quirky charm. So far the musical ones are my favourites, especially the descriptively titled Skiddyzoo Makes His Singing Debut. Go watch a...
