French music video tribute to The Muppet Show
This is the second French CG animation homage to Jim Henson's Muppets I've seen so far. Many elements of the Muppet Show are here -- the red curtain, musician Muppets, audience Muppets, a human performer singing a classic song. No heckling Statler and Waldorf-like characters though, sadly. Since these are all key-framed CG characters, these puppets do things no ordinary foam hand-and-rod puppet can do! Dance with legs showing! Throw things!
Unfortunately, the animators focused so much on exaggerating the "puppety-ness" that puppetry basics like lip-synch and eye-focus are less than stellar. Still, it's great to see a large-scale Muppet Musical Number again.
