This is canon.I can confirm that Johnny does, in fact, eat like the Cookie Monster.
So now it's time for the real one I guess.Best fake #1 ever
Whoa I did not know any of this! Crazy.During the most intensive scenes (like Mean Green Mother), there were 51 total puppeteers, though there were four people operating the head and five underneath the set operating the vines (the vines were the first puppet of their kind that were freestanding, non-marionetted). Audrey's unique movement was due to the film being sped up (meaning the actors had to act more slowly in any scene with Audrey, which took some convincing from Conway). The final product was 13 feet tall, and one of the most memorable movie monsters in history.

Audrey II (Little Shop of Horrors) |
Tom Servo |

Egungun - this is not quite right. I remember elaborate mask/dance/puppet festivals when I lived in Kenya but this appears to be in Nigeria. However as soon as I saw the images it sparked some memories so it must be close. Bah! I doubt anyone else is voting for this so I won't stress much but dang I wish I could remember more details, I was too young it seems. https://www.omenkaonline.com/egungun-festival-yoruba-people/ |

Team America World Police- this was the movie my spouse and I saw on our first date so I'm obligated to list it |
Same here. My choices #2-19 and 25 made the final list (one way or another).Pretty sure this is my highest hit rate list yet
Probably wouldn't have made my final cut but wish I'd remembered this, oh well.#15- Puppet Strong Bad, Homestar Runner. I'm not actually sure if Puppet Strong Bad and regular Strong Bad are officially the same guy.
DAMMITKinda surprised nothing from Kubo made the list though.
I consider that one of the greatest scenes ever committed to film.#18- Krites, Critters. Especially the time they formed a big skeletonizing katamari.
