Yeah... I'm still really looking forward to it, but I'm concerned that too much of the humor will be of the "this is supposed to be inherently funny just because we're doing it with puppets" variety.Goreomedy said:Hm...
It'll probably get old very fast, but I'll give it a chance opening night.
I'm a bit worried about that, but then, I get the feeling that a lot of the movie is so risque that there's only so much they can show in the trailers.FoneBone said:Yeah...

SKluck said:They aren't using any CG? Those are some badass puppets, no seams at the mouths and blinking... Didn't know you could do that with string puppets.
They were actually too good, Matt said. These guys are amazing, and they made the puppets so they could articulate their mouths completely. Problem is, it just looks creepy when theres that much motion going on. It was like a whole movie filled with Chucky. We found just the right balance. They can move their mouths very simply. Open. Closed. Smile. Frown. And they can move their eyebrows. Anything more than that gets really distracting.
Ironically this will probably bring in more than the thunderbirds movie.Poody said:hahaha... kinda like thunderbirds except you can see the strings.
