Children are so used to seeing puppets that when they see a real ventriloquist they don't understand it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have no idea why people want to watch puppets be the slightly meaner version of the weirdo holding them. It's beyond my comprehension.
People react differently to puppets than they do to human performers: they become more playful, more open.
I remember clearly watching a 'Sooty Show' at a theatre and telling my mum I wanted to be up with the puppets, not in the audience.
I don't see anyone walking around with a puppet on his hand in real life. Puppet therapy is very common for children. It's not something that adults take on.
I hate puppets so much.
I could never be on stage on my own. But puppets can say things that humans can't say.
You can exaggerate with puppets. You're not trying to look like real people. The way the Muppets are designed is really appealing. Puppets are best if they're exaggerated creatures.
My puppets are far more liberated than I am. Ventriloquism is a useful way of expressing myself.
That's the thing with animated films - I often feel that puppets get the better parts compared to us normal actresses.
When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.
