Where the puppeteers are? You mean the characters aren't real? :wink:

Hi all.

I figured that I'd quickly answer the question on the Muppet's Take Manhattan walking scene in "You Can't Take No For An Answer" song. You'll be shocked to know that from what I was told that the puppeteers where on the back of a truck with rods in the legs making them walk. also the puppets that are required to do things like Gonzo having his arms pulled are usually prepared about a week or two ahead of the time needed. at least that's how it was done on Fraggle.

Thanks, Butch! Even I wasn't sure of how the feet were done. :smile:
