As a Fraggle fan for a long time, this makes me SO JEALOUS that you got to meet GOBO! But also very happy for you! (Also John is one of the sweetest people EVER!!)
I'm jealous you got to do this lol. Great video! I'm just stunned and happy (as a fan of the original) that they use the original Sprocket(s) from the original show.
Oh my goodness this is such a eye opener to how much work it takes to create a production like this much respect to everyone involved and thank you for sharing, was it difficult as the puppeteer to hold the puppet and say your lines?
Yay I’m glad you liked this video. It was not an easy task to puppeteer and improv. I’ve never tried puppeteering before so it was all brand new to me. But the best part was they were just letting us have fun
@@TheMovieCouple the title is "Adam Savage Learns About Full Body Puppeteering at Henson's Creature Shop", but he has a few videos recorded in the workshop.
I smiled for joy when in the beginning of this video, you show Baby Sinclair from Dinosaurs. I loved watching that show. Baby was my favorite character. It was creepy just seeing only his dad’s head next to him. This was really cool, Wendy!!! I love this video!!! ❤️
Have you guys reacted to the Dark Crystal Age of Resistance series yet or just watched it. Have you ever seen the tv sitcom Dinosaurs? And if not, would you react to it if it was requested?@@TheMovieCouple
Thank you so much for posting this! As I'm a longtime _Fraggle Rock_ fan going back all the way to when the show first debuted on HBO, I'll likely sound insane or obsessed in my commentary here (which I actually wrote in three seperate posts, but out of consideration for the casual fans, I've instead decided to post everything in one comment here along with timestamps for anyone interested enough). Again, thank you - every moment of this video was fascinating to me -- and the moment they unveiled Junior Gorg? Nothing short of breathtaking. 8:49 - With the exception of Mokey, of course. _Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock_ achieves the impossible in living up to the original, but the new Mokey is one of the few questionable choices. Each of the "Fraggle Five" were perfectly balanced in personality. Gobo was the young dreamer, Wembley the goofy sidekick, Boober the pessimisic worrier, Red the outgoing athlete, and Mokey the sensitive artist. The two females in particular overcame the fact that they were opposites and succeeded as friends and roommates, but the new Mokey is often more spastic than even Wembley(!) and while I'm hopeful today's kids will love it nonetheless, I can't help but lament the loss of my personal favorite as I fell in love with her back then. I was interested when the question of the ratio between live vocal performance vs. additional dialogue recording (ADR) was asked because I recently wondered about it while watching Season 2, but I'm a bit confused by Tartaglia's response. From what _I've_ read about _Back to the Rock,_ Dave Goelz (the original puppeteer for Boober, Uncle Traveling Matt, and Philo) is the only original Muppet performer still working today, but that he doesn't actually do the physical puppeteering anymore. The guest stars are also pre-recorded (as evidenced by a recent video feature that shows the guest stars "meeting" their Fraggle Rock counterparts). I guess I was interested to know if they pre-record the vocals for their songs _and_ dialogue, or if the dialogue is stricting ADR after the footage is filmed. 24:50 The "tiny" radio-operated Fraggles that would peek out from the rock and run through the garden in the original show were one of my favorite elements. I recently saw close-up photos of them in the series retrospective book that released with the new series. So amazing.
I grew up on Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Dark Crystal, Labrynth, Dinosaurs, and The Muppets. Fraggle Rock theme song was always so cheerful and catchy. The Creature Shop is full of such creative people. I wish they would bring back Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge. Such an amazing experience!!
This is freaking AMAZING!!! I grew up puppeteering at my church and took courses to eventually become a master puppeteer. Not professionally, but for church and other events. I even had my own Conehead puppet, named Mop. I've tried on one of those full-body puppet costumes before (well, almost 30 years ago), they were heavy and very hot! Thank you for sharing this experience, this was so cool!
So awesome that you two got to do this. Jim henson's work is incredable. Ive always been a fan of dark crystal, mirror mask, story teller and labyrinth.
Were you aware of the fact that they're currently in pre-production on a _Labyrinth_ sequel? "Pre-production" could refer anything from "we have a three-page outline for a script" to "they're building the sets as we speak" and it's sadly all-too-common for projects like this to return to "development hell," but I first read about that particular project perhaps a month ago. Google it under "news" and see what you find if you're interested.
That's amazing! Have you or Dustin ever seen an HBO TV series called The Storyteller by Jim Henson did they talk about that? Plus have y'all ever seen Labyrinth?@@TheMovieCouple

I've never been so jealous of anyone in my entire life. What a great opportunity!!!
Still pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. It was so cool.

That had to be such a cool experience.
Baby and "not the Mama" Sinclair. Gotta love 'em

Thank you for watching! This was such a cool opportunity. Visiting the Jim Henson creature shop was something we never thought we'd get to experience.
John Tartaglia! He was Princeton and Rod on Tony winning Avenue Q.
Oh man. I couldn't do that job of body puppeteer for Junior . I get claustrophobic.
Man I wanna visit the Jim Henson company! They’ve inspired me to make my own puppets, and to hopefully create my own puppet show!❤
I've literally taken 3 pages worth of notes from this video, thank you!
I'm so glad!

@@TheMovieCouple that's such a amazing experience and you make it look easy and fun 😊
Did you or Dustin watch Fraggle Rock When you were kids? I bet this took you back to your childhoods huh?@@TheMovieCouple
Adam Savage has a video where he meets one of the in-costume performers for Junior and gets to see how they work inside the suit. Remarkable stuff.
Thanks! Gonna search for that video

Glad you enjoyed it! Everyone fawned over Baby Sinclair and were in awe of the Skeksis from Dark Crystal

My favorite line is "That's not a banana!"
Did they give you instructions on how to handle the puppet? Did Dustin get a turn?
They gave us pointers as we were trying them out. It was so fun! Dustin was not able to attend, unfortunately.
Wow ..that Earl Sinclair bust is absolutely stunning !!
