ALIENS (THE PUPPET MUSICAL)—even in space you could hear us scream [with laughte

No, but that looks pretty interesting! I will do some research and see if I can find it for us! Thanks Tank

what a laugh... That would be great to see...

Thanks Freeze! I think I read it was recently traveling round the states and yea AlbertI thought it looked funny especially the Elmo chestbursting scene : D

OK trying to save this from being a rather boring thread so I decided to look up puppets in science fiction!! [ I know..desperate right? ] so here is what I found [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7CiYFcD3zBU/T_QPqt_W7OI/AAAAAAAAJhA/YNq6h9erVps/s1600/Supermarionation+b.jpg[/img] [img]http://cache.io9.com/assets/images/8/2008/05/CosmicPuppetsAce1957-1.jpg[/img] [img]http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.133489763.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.unima-usa.org/publications/32/alien2.jpg[/img] Well...... you gotta laugh! : D

[center] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bDZme.jpg[/IMG] Puppetry in Science Fiction is Serious Business... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/d9kgn.jpg[/IMG] Something extremely unsettling about them in general, [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KN8yu.jpg[/IMG] thus making this thread awesome! :)

Still no luck on my research for the Alien (Puppet Musical) but I have a close friend who works for Henson's Puppetry Arts Center, so I've asked him to look into for me.

WOW!!! You have just made this thread awesome! Thanks Freeze! you have a friend who works for Hensons Puppetry Arts Centre!!!!! that is [b]very[/b] cool.... yea .. I guess they must have had permission to use those characters thanks for looking into it : )

How about The Puppet Masters based on the book by Robert A. Heinlein The Earth is invaded by alien "slugs" that ride on people's backs and control their minds.

We are an itinerant pile of papier-mâché slinging, generalist, trouble making trouble makers, based loosely in Vermont, Texas and points in between and beyond. We're available at the drop of a hat, we can turn on a dime, and we usually do our shows by donation...

Science Fiction and Puppets, no mention of Thunderbirds or Stingray *tsk* *tsk* [b]Thunderbirds[/b] [i]In the 21st century, Jeff Tracy, a former astronaut, amasses a colossal fortune and decides that he must use it to benefit others. His answer to this desire is to create International Rescue, a unique private emergency response service equipped with customed designed vehicles and equipment that enable the organization to react to any crisis whether it be in sea, air, land, or space.[/i] [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OiTgCVjnqEQ/T1gPF_MQ7lI/AAAAAAAARRw/JRVRdWWMH2c/s1600/thunderbirds%2Bpilots%2Bpromo.jpg[/img] [b]Stingray[/b] [i]Stingray, a highly sophisticated combat submarine built for speed and manoeuvrability, is the flagship of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASP), a 21st Century security organisation based at Marineville in the year 2065.[/i] [img]http://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/stingray.jpg[/img] Marina, the mysterious beauty [img]http://www.songfacts.com/images/songimages/21100.jpg[/img]

They're a classic Oneironaut! must mention the vehicles!! : ) [img]http://davidszondy.com/images/Thunderbird%202%2002.gif[/img] [img]http://application.denofgeek.com/images/m/75spaceships/main/Thunderbird_3.jpg[/img] [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kslDLxgP2zc/TisS_hAzViI/AAAAAAAAALw/dW8zZWM6WqQ/s1600/Thunderbird+3+007.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.joehallock.com/wp-images/2006/10/101006_01.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.wiseoldgoat.com/images/thunderbirds/_Thunderbird4.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.wiseoldgoat.com/images/thunderbirds/_Thunderbird5.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nqwb257s_s4/0.jpg[/img]

If you enjoy the puppet style of Thunderbirds and you're very brave!

Indeed, you can't have Thunderbirds without the vehicles! I found this - [b]Melonpool: The Motion Picture[/b] [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/603922_488705451161178_1008186862_n.png[/img] [i]Melonpool: The Motion Picture is a comic adventure in space. Hapless captain Mayberry Melonpool leads an unlikely crew — a mad scientist, a sassy medical doctor, a malfunctioning robot, a talking dog and a giant mutant hamster — on a series of disastrous missions that end with one crew member missing in action and the rest going their separate ways.[/i] [url=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/182240459/puppets-in-space]More info found here[/url]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha That looks awesome Oneironaut! The Giant Mutant Hamster has got to be my favorite : )

It looks and sounds adorably crazy - I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

..... sorry. Goofed up my post. Take 2.

Well Tanky, all you needed was a little help from your friends. This is an awesome thread. I had forgotten about the Steampunk puppet in '1884'. Big fan of Terry Gilliam. He always has amazing movie sets. And who can forget "The Thunderbirds". I can't because my nick name was Virgil in High School and at University. I have bushy eye brows. Black like Virgil's. ^^ "Thunderbirds are go!" Can anyone remember what FAB stood for? Was it "FAB?" I can't remember...

You are SO right Albert : D Im lucky to have such wonderful friends!!! Or should I say Virgil!! ha ha ha ha ha awwww so cute! Hugs him : ) I looked up the meaning of FAB cause I didnt know either this is what I found: [i]The Thunderbirds' radio code "F-A-B", meaning "message received and understood", didn't stand for anything, it was just supposed to sound "hip". In fact, when asked what it stood for, Gerry Anderson once replied, with some bemusement, "Fab," as though it were obvious. Later, due in part to fan-submitted stories, F-A-B came to mean Fully Advised and Briefed, in keeping with P-W-O-R (Proceeding With Orders Received), a similar radio confirmation code in the series Stingray.[/i] [b]This had me laughing so much!![/b] some quotes Prof. Matt Matic: Now now, Venus, none of your feminine intution. Let's stick to the facts.

STING RAY ,,THUNDER BIRDS ,man they were the best

That is really cool NCC. I heard a Cartman voice in there as well as a Timmy voice. Those South Park boys will stop at nothing, pushing comedy beyond the realm of political correctness. They are great.

They're awesome Ncc!! ha ha ha ha ha ha how could I have missed them!! So he is Kim Jong II QUOTE: Kim Jong Il: I'm so Ronery / So ronery / So ronery and sadry arone / There's no one / Just me onry / Sitting on my rittle throne / I work rearry hard and make up get prans / but, nobody listens, no one understands / Seems rike no one takes me serirousry / And so, I'm ronery / A rittle ronery / Poor rittle me / There's no one I can rerate to / Feewr rike a biwd in a cage / It's kinda siwry / but, not reawry / because, it's fiwring my body with rage / I'm the smartest, most crever, most physicawry fit / but, nobody erse seems to rearrize it / When I can the worrd maybe they'rr notice me / And untiwr then, I'wr be ronery / Yeaaaaah, a rittle ronery / Poor rittle me...
