Winnie Ruth Judd



Not sure if an infamous murder case benefits from the marionette approach, but it's certainly unique.

One Night in a City



Wu-vies--Originally, this nine-minute clip was viewable in its entirety. Since I created the post, however, it's been marked "private." So here's a two-minute trailer for it, to give you just a taste, unfortunately.

One Night in a City from İstanbul Animation Festival on Vimeo.



Now that I do a little more research, it appears that even the nine-minute clip was a fraction of the 76-minute feature. Might be worth searching out on DVD.

More info here.

WU-style Personality Test





When it comes to choosing African-American ventriloquists, are you the kind who likes the clean soul stylings of Willie Tyler and Lester?

Or the dirty funk of Richard and Willie?

The latter clip is verbally NSFW.

Torchy the Battery Boy





My brain will never fully recover from viewing this.

Information here.

PS: do not confuse Torchy the Battery Boy with Bill Ward's Torchy.

Jackboots On Whitehall



Alternate history science fiction told entirely through puppets.

Not something you see every day.

Beaker Electocuted

I was thoroughly enjoying this creative tribute to "Ode to Joy" until the unfortunate accidents at the end of the clip.



I wonder if "Beaker" and the "Roadrunner "are related? Meep meep.
