Subject: [Puptcrit] Dolls as Puppets


It is funny that we are discussing this interesting subject. I am the puppet
maker in my family and my daughter is the doll collector. She is 18 and
loves them now as much as ever. So when I got Charles and Alan's email I
showed them to her and she had just been watching a video made by online
friends of hers: 3 sisters who are home schooled and very much into filming
their American Girl dolls in settings, stories, etc. They are truly amazing
and creative and possibly looking toward jobs as movie makers in their
future. Take a look at the youtube video.

Here they are actually manipulating the dolls much like puppets, even
dressing in black during the actual Nutcracker scenes. These girls are about
20, 18, and 14.
