I was impressed more with the idea behind the work rather than the work 
itself, but I know what you mean. To be fair to the show's performers I am 
not going to judge their work because I only saw one segment (which wasn't 
done that badly actually, but it could be the exception rather than the 
rule). Also they (the puppeteers) seem to be working off a voice track which 
probably doesn't help. 

Does anyone know any of the performers on the show or who did the puppets? 
Was it an in-house Disney job?
