Lost in La Mancha
Just when you think the earthquake’s over, the city bursts into flames. Isn’t that right, Mr. Gilliam? Read more…
Sloppy Storyboarding
Well folks, we gotta cut corners somewhere, so rather than pouring the same inordinate amount of time into our storyboards as we have into all the other aspects of this protracted production, we’ve opted to bang them out quick and sloppy, like the war in Iraq. What? The war’s still going on… well, that certainly doesn’t bode well. For a lot of things. Read more…

Magic is real, unicorns exist, and the internet believes in puppets. This past Friday we not only successfully met our Kickstarter funding goal, but exceeded it. After a year of uncertain labor on an insanely outlandish project in a room with no windows, it feels incredible to finally wander out into the light and find that we are loved. Read more…

Times is tough all over. It’s not like the old days when any schlub in a smock could pick up a foam injection mold making rig for a sawbuck. High-voltage electric flocking fields don’t grow on trees, and an animatronics workshop can’t be scrounged off Craigslist for a fiver. That’s why our puppets are made of Mission. Read more…

We’re proud to announce we’ve been blessed with nonuplets. So pleased are we with our felty brood, we took them down to Sears for some family portraits. Won’t you come and meet the kids? Read more…
Sunday, Puppet Sunday
This Sunday we invited all our pals down to Frown Town for a good old fashioned puppet set raising. It was really rather Amish, except for all the whiskey and beer. Read more…
