Who's the better director? Who's the better puppeteer?
For me, this is kind of tough. They both have good qualities.

As far as Muppeteers go, my favorites are Jim Hensom, Frank Oz, Caroll Spinney, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Steve Whitmire, and...
I found this picture of voice actor, Daws Butler, who provided the voice of many cartoon characters, including Yogi Bear and Hunckleberry Hound. Anyway, I found this picture of him with two puppets of his characters. I mean I know he was a puppeteer on Time for Beany, but does anyone have any...
