Subject: [Puptcrit] Is Vladimir's car a puppet?


I have seen a few cars in traffic that expressed emotions (impatience, hostility or anger) but most JUST move rather than animate. A rock rolling down hill moves too, but is not a puppet.. Unlike horses, donkeys, camels and other animals used in transportation which are living beings, and can express emotions, cars generally are not puppets. They don't present the illusion of a living, breathing vehicle in spite of all those automotive magazine & TV ads.
