Review
panelists said:
" ...This film really works for me. It has superb production
values: camera work, sets, lighting, sound and manipulation.
It has charm and humor - a real winner! Bil's puppets are really
the stars!"
" ....high quality production values meet the unique artistry
of Bil Baird in the adaptation of an early Baird work. This
recaptures for posterity a large portion of the delightful gruffness,
humor and magic of Bil Baird Marionettes."
" .....this achieves a high level of magic by substituting
flashy special effects with heart, wit, charm, whimsy and unpretentious
storytelling. I found it refreshing to see the strings and appreciate
the simple theatricality. It is pure old fashioned good taste."

Review
panelists said:
"... this pioneer program in instructional television remains
innovative and fresh through super use of now legendary puppet
characters and the infusion of new ones. A trend setter in television
and puppetry, it thrives on sustained excellence."
" .....I consider these puppet works to be exceptional
for their concept through design to the finished product."
".....puppets become real personal - no archetypes- especially
Big Bird and Oscar. Performers quality - outstanding, scripts
and songs- highest possible!" |
