A note from Bill about the puppets
Over the years I tried to bring a special brand of puppetry to the screen, a move away from the traditional sock puppet or the cloth covered foam ball with a big mouth. My creations were made of latex rubber and became 3-dimensional cartoons that, if operated correctly, appeared to be living characters that breathed. laughed, and cried just like the rest of us. At least that was my intent. Early on, I coaxed them from the Punch and Judy type stage and moved them around the sets to interact with each other and with me, which made them even more lifelike and fun.
Today very little puppetry as performed in my era exists, having given way to the technological marvels of digitized animation, which produces a wonder of its own. However, if you're in the mood for a return to the past where puppets come alive in performances actually happening before your eyes, then you may enjoy my shows.
Bring them all back!
These DVD's are the finest quality available.
For your consideration...
