Powered Puppet Movement

[shtick]

When I say powered movement, I mean it in the same way one would say a car has power steering. I mean, a puppet with an extra huge jaw could be manipulated with one hand if it had the proper mechanics.

Has anyone ever seen a puppet that had powered movement in it?

It doesn't require mechanics, just a handle made from the right materials and balanced correctly.

What if the head is really big and heavy?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the giant Animal head in "The Muppet Movie" was operated by Frank Oz with one hand. Apparently, the materials were so light that it worked pretty much the same way as the regular-sized version. I don't even think that there were any electronic components to it.
