Serenading Unicorn

[maniacal muppet]

So I was on Sparknotes.com a few minutes ago (Because I "totally" read Catcher In The Rye for homework this weekend), and I caught a glimpse of a Juicy Fruit Gum campaign called, "The Serenading Unicorn." Here's the video channel on Youtube:

So, after putting this into Google, some website said that the Henson Company built the puppet. Does anyone know about it? I was surprised that Toughpigs or The Muppet Newsflash did not say anything about it. I also tried all sorts of "unicorn" searches on Muppet Wiki, but it didn't come up. Not that I'm not gonna sleep tonight or anything if I don't know, but can anyone give some more information about this, or say, for a fact, if Henson did this or not?

Have a good night, all.

Yup, it is the Henson Co. apparently; Allan Trautman was the lead puppeteer.

Oh, cool. Thanks! They're pretty funny videos, for anyone who hasn't seen them

I find the art direction very interesting. They've purposely embraced an almost "cheesy" or deliberately low budget look. Its not the typical slick, totally buttoned down Henson Muppet look.

But then again, the Henson Company is trying all manner of things recently to differentiate their new puppet work from the Muppets proper.
