The following year, Tara, the tiger, was featured in Gladiator, with Randy doubling for Russell Crowe. Randy won an Academy Award for the stunts.
The animatronic tiger used in the close ups with the tabby cat was created and operated by The Jim Henson Company.
Awesome work!! Do you have any making-of pictures or video? I'd love to see!
Thank you for your kind comment. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to grab any "making of" shots (although I wish I had!).
@@luckyzert Aww, darn! Thanks for the speedy reply! What happened to the tiger after the commercial was completed? Repurposed for other productions? Storage?
Randy trained all of his wild animals (including a bear!) for TV and film work. The tigers we used (we had 3 of 'em) went on to be used in the film GLADIATOR. Randy doubled for Russell Crowe in the Colosseum tiger fight scenes.@@AnimatronicsArchive
@@luckyzert Ah, I was referring to the animatronic tiger head in this conversation! But it's cool to know that the real tigers continued their acting careers! 😁
@@AnimatronicsArchive So sorry, my friend...yes, the head was recycled, but it remained with the same look in future uses (as I understood it).
Very nice puppeteering!!!
Thanks! Your Dog Mascot is great!
Thank you! I do love performing!!!
