Joey Shabadoo:

That's an awesome concept!

Luc Degardin:

Haha, nice! Could improve the moment the puppet grabs the guy's face. Lips: "short" isn't readable. Very funny idea :)

Dhar:

Very original. Overall performance is very good. I would've liked to see more body movements on the doll (the legs don't move at all).

Jeranimo:

Totally AWESOME!!

Andy van Straten:

all class.... :)

Ian John White:

Excellent, hope it wins, original idea, nicely lit and very polished animation!!!

Marcos Borba Moreira:

good acting, good idea! liked a lot! :)

Nick Adducci:

Wow that is excellent. Great movement, rendering, and idea.

I'm giving a 10 because I never give an 11 but so far this has been the best short for me. My one complaint might be that the heads are kind of competing with each other for the full attention of the audience. Maybe if you had a quick establishing shot then cut to a closer shot of both their faces. that might fix that.

But seriously great job!

Louis Ng:

Cool stuff! Good idea.

Tim Kings-Lynne:

i love this so much

its one of the better anims i've seen on 11sec club

lovely understated natural actions

great touch with the hand acting, using it between the puppeteer and the puppet. The white gloves where a good choice for making them read very clearly.

would love to see some slight secondary on the puppet legs

the pupils of the puppeteer could be a bit more darty rather than smooth between the eye direction changes, and there is a couple of frames where the brow lines seem a little disconnected.

this is all just personal reaction however and i really love it.

a lovely mood and a lot of heart
too

its so nice i love the way the puppeteer isn't distracting when the puppet is speaking, and i LOVE the hand touching the face and the end pose of the hand

appealing puppet design and really nice and moody to watch

seriously i like it!
thanks for showing me

beck veitch:

Need some work on the timing, it's a bit soft on the poses - excellent concept and interpretation of the dialog

Paul Naas:

Clever idea, and great setup. Might have been better to be in tighter so we could see the vent's line

Aaron Clement:

Great work... really entertaining... really original as well... maybe a stronger ending... apart from that, I loved it!

kEViN:

great concept!!!

Tamara van Zal:

Nice! It's very unique. For a critique I'd say the legs of both characters are dull, they need more movement.

Brent Steinberg:

brilliant. really killer.

H. Oliveira:

Probably the best so far, and just 6 left to see and first comment! gave u 4 out of 11! Original! Nice work! Good luck ;D

jinu:

a really good idea, and good execution

M K Sunderam:

Good Concept and Well executed animation.

Lenka Zuckova:

Love it! Great animation, brilliant idea.

David Alvarez:

I love it!

Patrick Chin:

Wonderful idea, great animation. If the puppet had looked up at man after "... thing!" it would have worked even better. Well done!

match:

quite nice, only thing is the eye direction seems off on the guy in black.

Paulo Clayton:

Very original take! Nicely done.

Fernando Falero:

so good!

Mike Yoo:

This one is great. You did a really good at making the puppet move they way it should. It really looks like the puppeteer is in control. The puppeteer's animation was really subtle and that helped with pulling the viewers' eyes to the puppet. The lighting of it looks like stage/theatre lighting which adds a lot to the overall piece. Great animation man.

Michael Cawood:

Very good indeed. What it does, it does perfectly. I just wish the puppet had been moved around the screen a little more. But failing that, this is really nicely refined.

Caleb Drewel:

very cute

Émylie:

wow,..... thats awsome!! good job;)

gary hsu:

really like it, puppet's legs should have more secondary acion, the norman character's facial should be pushed a bit more

Diego Oriani:

This is great!

John Vassallo:

Nice work

David Trudel:

oh wow! very original idea! Good job on staging, the animation is so fluid and believable...stunning!

Steve Clarke:

Love this idea and the animation is great. Well done.

Sunny Kharbanda:

Wow. simply wow. Just one TEEENY little thing. The white gloved hand doesn't visually connect with the puppet as much as it could. Maybe if we saw the other hand which is hidden behind the ventriloquist's leg, or if the puppet's skin color was lighter, the body and hand would tie together better. Nevertheless, I love the idea, the deceiving simplicity of the setup, and the masterful execution!

Brian Nicolucci:

You really thought outside the box and I love your acting choices.

Dan Dulberger:

Neat idea. Just missed the dangling feet.

Charles Eubanks:

Clever concept! You managed to get a believable performance out of a hand puppet. Great work!

Craig Perez:

wow funny funny idea ,great work,

vinay:

mind blowing concept

Chris Bull:

movement of the puppets right arm were a bit distracting, making some odd shapes but otherwise really nice

Daniel MC Alvite:

ual, i loved it, the pupetter’s mouth is wicked, very subtle.
great work.

T.Kutschera:

super!!! super Idea!

Yeray Díaz Díaz:

Nice job! Original and well crafted! Very well animated too, I love the "look at me" bit. Congratulations!

Sander Kamermans:

wauw,.. you win,..

Chris de Souza:

Wow. That was amazing! Great concept and execution.

Johnny Castuciano:

WOW

David Webster:

I love the idea. You pulled it off. Excellent job.

Dave:

really fun idea

Brad Regier:

great concept!
The "ahhuh!" at the end could be punched way up.

Prashant:

Really Nice work...

Aaron Jonas:

nice work with the hands

Nomercy:

Great idea, good animation too, top marks

Jamie:

Lovely, although the i made you short dialogue line looks very slow, great idea.

Gregory Naud:

I love it! great sensibility.

Ritwik Nag:

WOOOOW!!!

Ben Hammersley:

Nice concept! Some people have original concepts but haven't quite got the skills to nail them,you did on this one!

Spencer Jones:

This Rocked. Maybe adding some subtle swing to the puppets legs when the master swayed could have added something, not that this need anything

Cledson:

Great one man! Good Job!

Tal Hersko:

Great Idea. the puppet does move like the muppets

Jamie Giger:

Best idea good job!

Amy:

That is a cool little puppet rig.

Dave Blanchette:

This site is for animation, not puppetry! ;) Very nice, otherwise!

Derek Mabson:

Awesome. Maybe you should animate the legs

M.Bell:

Love the Idea! That’s the key thing when it comes to entertainment, nice animation is really just icing on the cake.
Ha Ha Ha, Muppet Puppet!!!! This one made me smile, thanks.

PS: This turn out to be more of a happy rant than a critically constructive comment. Sorry.

Aaron McGriff:

Awesome idea and great execution. Way to go!!

Roger Feron:

Awesome! I think that when the puppet screams, the guy should react to it, since he is interacting with the puppet.

Kamal Bhattacharjee:

Super Awesome!!!

Marin Petrov:

Very nice Idea and poses. Needs polishing but overall it`s good!
