5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent historic overview, March 11, 2010

Closet Puppeteer (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stories of The American Puppet (DVD)

This DVD presents a wonderful overview of puppetry in America. It features historic movie clips of puppetry all the way back to 1898! There are also interview segments with many of the notable puppeteers of the 20th century, many who have since passed away. It also has longer segments of historic puppet performances in its special features. It was great to see the work of Tony Sarg, Bill Baird, the Rose family, and many other notable performers about whom I had only read.

This review is from: Stories of The American Puppet (DVD)

This wonderful art form gets its due with this fine presentation. A must for anyone involved in the art, as this will feature interviews and film clips with those who worked with Bil Baird, Rufus and Margo Rose, Jim Henson and so many others. TV favorites such as Howdy Doody, Foodini, Rootie Kazootie and Lamb Chop are here as well. Who better to illustrate the ventriloquist art than Paul Winchell and Shari Lewis? This program is a affectionate and informative salute to puppeteers that have entertained us for centuries.
