Well,I went to The Handmade Puppet Dreams Movie Fest last night,and I really liked it.A couple of the regular puppet films were either crude or strange,but other than I enjoyed them.There were about 100 people that showed up last night,ages ranging from 12 to people in their 70's.I really enjoyed getting to see Heather Henson talk about each film.There were about 13 films all together,10 puppet films and around 3 early muppet films.
Here is the list & discription of the puppet films shown last night.
Film 1:Harker,a silent film with organ music,that describes Harker trying to get his fiancae(SPELLING?) back from this creapy looking villian.

Film 2:Sammy and Sofa,Well Sammy is basically living in the world of Pee-Herman,although this film is a lot funnier.

Film 3elude#2,basically a car crash using puppets.

Film 4:Ola's box of clovers,a puppet renactment of a elderly lady's death.

Film 5:Last Rites,a devil & nun,boxing.

Film 6:Everloving,two mummies swimming underwater.Thats basically it for that film.

Film 7:Herd,a really wierd film about hamburgers.

Film 8:Mary Anning and her monsters,a true story about the first female palientologist(spelling?).

Film 9opsicle,puppets lip synching to a song,which has the same title as the film.

Film 10:Graveyard jamboree with Mysterious Mose,the title basically speaks for it self.

The first two had two,boy & girl muppets named Billy & Sue.And a devil-like-muppet named Sneegle.The first one was a funny film,about getting into a car-crash.The second film was a church related one about sharing.It was also funny.And finally The Tales of Tinkerdee,which we've all either heard about or read about.
