Subject: [Puptcrit] Gremlins fan film



I just came accross this really spectacular Gremlins puppet film made mostly by one guy,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REGCV6z3VkM&feature=related

He does an amazing job of compositing his  gremlin puppets into classic films.
He also did a great "making of" video
