I... totally forgot the vise grip puppets had on my childhood church. Obviously soon to be overshadowed by VeggieTales. Also, watching the new Jim Henson doc totally re-sparked my interest in the Creature Shop and puppet making. It's amazing how a puppet makes me more likely to suspend my disbelief and draw me in than any VFX.
Oh, yeah, VeggieTales was the savior for exhausted kids ministry teachers.
The Creature Shop is FASCINATING. It seems like such a cool place to work--there had to be so many interesting creative people figuring out how to construct these wild things. Totally agree on practical effects being more effective than digital. They age better, too. Not that they don't look old, exactly, but it's a self-contained world vs. old digital stuff standing out.
All of your posts are my favorite but this one is something special. Such a cool peek into your family and your creativity! Being a Schwartz seems pretty neat <3
