Of all the people I know who watched this movie, they either remembered the Goblin King Bulge™ OR the story, but never both.

I'm glad I'm not the only adult that can forget those are puppets sometimes. When I'm sinking in and immersed, they're just characters as real as the humans (though I apparently have something called hyperphantasia, which makes that pretty easy for me).

And, I agree, it really comes down to the Henson design and the skill of the puppeteers.

Have you ever seen "Monster Maker"?

"You have to draw from life itself. You can't just copy it - if you copied, you'd get a monster with no beauty and no life to it. [...] If you're gonna make creatures, you make them so that you show people their own humanity, their own reality. That's the responsibility of an artist."

If you have an hour or so to spare, that was the link to the full movie ;)

Wrong Takeaway

Every story has a moral, but these weren't intended.

Rules

1. Include a movie poster of the film for which you are giving a Wrong Takeaway. Use an external image link if possible instead of uploading to the instance. It saves space for others. (I use catbox.moe, personally.)

2. Post your Wrong Takeaway as the title.

3. Anything additional, put in the Text box.
