"We just enhance the eyes, a quiver of the mouth, the eyes fluttering a little bit, glossing over. But it's still the glass eye of the puppet, it's still the skin of the puppet, we move it just slightly, and that made a huge difference. The limits I set were that it cannot be better than what you could do with an amazing animatronic puppet with lots of motors and stuff."
