Yes, we’re to blame.  We’re the nut jobs behind the Sock Puppet parody of “Flight” at last night’s Academy Awards.  Seth MacFarlane & Co. approached us with their idea and we knew we had to do it.  We’re proud to have been involved with such a silly part of the Oscars.

Say what you will about working with actors but we thought Denzel was very easy to work with. He patiently sat around waiting for his cues.

Super rad crew!

A heartfelt “gracias” goes out to everyone that helped us out on this.  It was one of those productions that ran very smoothly, everyone had fun and the vibe was fantastic!

No socks were harmed in the making of this production.

The Top Dog of all Christmas Specials:  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!

UPDATE!!!

Our friend Jim Hill wrote this very nice piece in the Huffington Post about our adventures with Rudolph.  LOOK

 

The grand poobah, the top dog, the king of the hill…  This is the one that started it all.  If it wasn’t for the genius of our heroes, Arthur Rankin Jr. & Jules Bass we would all be soulless fools!   And to think not so long ago,  your Screen Novel-pals had the highest honor of restoring two of the most iconic puppets in US History.  Wow!
