Puppets on the Archive

We have a wide array of movies on the Archive featuring puppet actors, from whimsical to political. Truly, there’s something for everyone:

• La Corriveau (2006) – a dark movie that tells the story of an 18th century murderess
• Ermo Jr (2003) – a bizarrely funny stop motion animation short film involving Ermo, a puppet who likes to poop in a variety of hats
• The War Crimes Trial of George W. Bush, Puppet President of the United States (2006) – definitely not funny
• The Hopeful Pageantry of Bread and Puppet – a documentary about the Bread and Puppet Theater
• The Stain (1991) – a creepy combination of animated drawings and puppets that tells the story of a double suicide
• Beginning Responsibility: Lunchroom Manners (1959) – a puppet show, featuring Mr. Bungles, teaches children how to behave
• Mr. Bungle Puppet Show (2004) – the same footage as above, but re-edited with a new soundtrack to make the “message” a little more clear…
