"It's quite remarkable the way they frame the puppets in
the camera shots on different levels. It's not easy, and rarely
is it done so well."
" The show demonstrates the power of puppetry to bring
people of different backgrounds and ethnic groups together.
Long live the puppet!"
"The quality of performers and techniques is outstanding.
Series centers on problem solving through cooperative efforts.
The message is clear, that we must all work together for a better
world." |

"These are the best puppets I've seen on television lately.
I love their characters and how the puppeteers work with their
limitations. I find it refreshing to see someone using more
'traditional' hand puppets in such a nice way."
"Some really wonderful/original use of marionettes, both
in manipulation Funky...refreshing...spontaneous fun! Not cute
for a change. Variety of multi-ethnic music and characters."
