Hand-puppety goodness

Just discovered via an SF mailing list: Serenity done by hand-puppets which look surprisingly like the cast, given their simplicity. See Mal shirtless! But don't go there unless you've seen the film. Massive spoilers doesn't begin to describe it.

There's a lot of good stuff but I loved this bit (in plain text).

Wash: Uggh, there is absolutely nothing good about the ship's new paint job.
Reavers: Identification, please.
Serenity: You don't need to see our identification.
Reavers: We don't need to see their identification.
Serenity: This isn't the Firefly crew you're looking for.
Reavers: This isn't the Firefly crew we're looking for.
Serenity: We can go about our business.
Reavers: You can go about your business.
Serenity: Move along.
Reavers: Move along, move along!
Wash: ...Okay, I take that back.
Yeah, all right, I love those old Star Wars films. Speaking of which, their other movies are worth a look too: LOTR, Harry Potter, The Matrix, Star Wars, Spider-Man, X-Men...

Do you suppose "liederhosen" (in reference to one of the matrix movies) is a typo, or a reference to the inevitable consequences of too much dietary fibre?

I really should go to bed.

I thought it was the embroidered velvet pantaloons traditionally worn by German tenors at the court of Mad Ludwig.

Yeah, the fan commentary they insert is fun. :-)

And for some reason, the stormtrooper puppet absolutely cracks me up. Y'know, some of those guys'd make good icons.

Yeah, I myself have a deep fondness for the Squiddy puppet from the Matrix trilogy.

Thank you! I actually had to do some pixel editing of the base South Park generator image to get the hairline and smirk. I'm actually pretty proud of that one. :)
