What do you think of these guys? They've done a number of puppetry and animatronic effects for movies and TV shows, esspecially in the 90s, such as the troll army from Ernest Scared Stupid, the flying burger puppets in Good Burger, a number of special puppetry for the 90s version of Land of the Lost, among other things.

I think their work is pretty impressive myself, kind of like the creatures of Jim's fantasy films like Dark Crystal and Labyrinth...

I also forgot to mention that the Chiodo Brothers were responsible for the characters Take-Out and Fingers from The Charlie Horse Music Pizza.

They also helped rebuild some of the Pee Wees Playhouse puppets for the Pee Wee Herman Show on Broadway a couple years ago.

I need a memory refresher, didn't they also work on The Mouse and the Motorcycle?
