[@prismatism]

In camera will always be more life like than CGI. That’s why the first Jurassic Park is still hailed as having some of the best SFX, cause they build the creatures and had them interact on set. Same here.

[@coreym162]

@@prismatism If you only knew what went into this you'd reconsider. Maybe once robotics gets way good it might make a comeback but, they were faking so much with multiple engineers running different parts of one damn puppet and all of the power used, safety hazards and wear and tear it was inevitable that if an alternative method that was cheaper to use that produced the same visual idea came about it would replace it. That's what happened. However they still believe the more people they hire the better the production. Unless it's an insurance sink. They have more things going on onscreen these days but, it doesn't make it better. There are one-man-shows pulling off better CGI than most studios these days that are just on KZbin.

[@antonyquigley5219]

"Active" cooling, rather than... cooling? What kinda "Active" cooling would you like them to have? Airconditioning boxes or a big 240mm fan spinning around inside the cramped suit?

[@TheMrVogue]

You shouldn't be so condescending. Active cooling refers to a cooling mechanism that involves the transfer of heat to a recirculating medium. i.e. Through a fan that recirculates air. Passive cooling involves the transfer of heat via the recirculation of a medium that is not "actively" moved by a mechanism.

[@rickyray2794]

Antony Quigley why are you acting like a jerk? All he said was he hopes the actors had something to make them cooler so they weren't so hot, and here you come out of left field acting like a complete ass because he used a technical term instead of being vague.

There was no need to have the voice actors coordinate, though. The costumers could use their own voices and the real voice actors do voiceovers to video later.

[@coreym162]

Because, so many people operated one puppet was sadly why this type of performance was deprecated. They were faking so much fluidity because, the technology didn't exist convincingly. Maybe once Robotics gets really good hopefully it will return. A.I can also aide in functions that required tons of people reducing it to 1 to 2 operators if we were to bring it all back today. That's why it annoys me when people get mad at A.I "taking their jobs". Most people have zero understanding of what goes into making the modern world function and the fact that it takes so many people to operate and pay which makes everything exceedingly expensive the more complex these services and industries get. People ruin everything with larger and larger demand and the expenses to continue operation. Hopefully A.I can help us run our world more cost affectively.

@ExclusiveCheese I was there and I shot it with my little camcorder. I'm the one shaking the camera because I was laughing so hard. ET

[@rosehearttoxic1691]

Ed Tannenbaum thank you for the video

[@tadpolegaming4510]

Well, um, i think I'm a bit late, but funny vid

[@aureonbabe7806]

Never too late to appreciate for good stuff

[@justinb1382]

That was an awesome show growing up as a kid. Still have a couple episodes on VHS. Thanks for the video!

[@ltinoool]

Thanks 👍 #childhood

[@rexstreamarchive3472]

I love how you can hear everyone on set laughing, except for i suspect the director, he sounds salty as hell

[@UndertheNeedle282]

This is back when TV shows how to studio audience. So the good performers knew how to entertain the crowd. That's what we're seeing here.

[@C21L01]

This is clearly either the cast and crew playing a joke on the director OR it was a bit of off-colour fun onset to break the monotony. Either way this is freaking hilarious. Best part comes at 3:09 - 3:12. Loved Dinosaurs growing up and Baby Sinclair was always the best.

[@deadchannel4792]

C21L01 Basically Baby Sinclair's actor was cranky after a whole day of shooting.

[@kewkabe]

Goofing around between takes like this is really common with actors when it's been a long day and the scene needs high energy. I worked on a bunch of sets right after college as a production assistant and 2nd asst director and saw this a lot. The tired crew is always ready for a laugh, actors feed off that crew laughter and that helps to keep things energetic.

[@CptChandler]

It sounded to me like everyone was getting upset, so he burst out into this to lighten the mood.

[@amethyst0285]

I miss the 90's and shows like this! :D

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

amethyst0285 90s were ok

[@altecbluwell4620]

We all miss them.

[@jesscline9661]

amethyst0285 me too

[@sergiogalindo3024]

What you meant to say was: I miss the 80's shows! Cause 90's shows were HORRIBLE!

[@3rdreichball525]

Cartoons are better too. Spiderman, xmen, batman, beast wars transformers. Oh yeah. 90s are way more creative than today.

[@Zippy9000]

the way mother dinosaur put finger on baby dinosaur and pew to wake up baby dino has me died laughing hahahaha

[@morghan_with_an_h]

I prefer puppets over CGI...

[@Hiprockdiva1]

that 80's girl same

[@nickcoker9092]

that 80's girl ex 1:Jurassic park

[@Zayats_MW]

Nick Coker You know they wanted to use animatronics but used CGI instead, right?

[@ThirteenAmp]

It was Jim Henson's puppets that were the shit, his death helped usher in the CGI craze because the go to puppet guy was gone

[@nickcoker9092]

Kanína_Zając yes some was CGI but arguably the most famous animatronic scene in a movie that was widely loved by viewers and critics is the scene where the kids are hiding in the kitchen and the raptors come in to get them

[@NSGhostbusters]

3:16 " AND ! " " NO ! ! ! "

[@toastarkat]

Trying not to laugh.... GOD DAMMIT xD

[@coreyshelp6463]

this show looks hilarious! I can't wait for it to come out....

[@Ayden_B]

Me when someone try’s to take my picture

[@briefcaseblues6061]

Corey Shelp lol, your like 24yrs too late.

[@coreyshelp6463]

+BriefcaseBlues I'm just glad there doing a show about talking dinosaurs that's really refreshing original idea...can't wait to see it...

[@Dragonsmile5]

lost it at the part where Sinclair said “No!” and then turned his head away from the camera. I don’t know why, but it made me laugh so hard. 3:17 is when the moment happens.

[@jupiter9099]

I love quality puppetry, and by the looks of it everybody on set was having a blast being a part of it. Nowadays it seems like those kinds of privileges are long gone due to the easier and cheaper CGI and flash alternatives.

[@henriducard2946]

Jupiter9099 flash?

[@ChozoSR388]

It's a shame that practical effects have, for the most part, gone by the wayside these days...

[@DeadlyDan]

CGI isn't cheaper, no chance. B-movie horrors do practical effects because to achieve realistic looking CGI it costs big bucks. CGI is hard to get right, look at CGI in any indie movie production - it's always terrible.

[@NextNate03]

Those suits are like an oven. Not to mention its a pain to get off and on every time you need to eat or go to the bathroom.

[@NoahDiamond-Firearms-LLC]

I re-watched this, and I laughed even harder. My face is red, and I almost passed out laughing.

[@EdTannenbaum]

No lawsuits please!

[@NoahDiamond-Firearms-LLC]

Once, I saw a zebra being raped by a Rhino. That was the best.

[@NoahDiamond-Firearms-LLC]

TheTruthTeller Callouts I also once watched a video of people dancing on a coffin while setting their vaginas on fire. That was good too. Not quite porn, but it was crotch hot. I also like seeing people with metal poles strapped to their crotches and banging other metal poles with them. p.s. I love your videos.

[@Renogade]

You're ruining Catbug for me

[@setsers1]

Noah Diamond holy shit😂

[@SamuelBlack84]

I remember watching this back in the day here in the UK Even as a kid I always felt how dark and gritty it could be despite being a family show

[@doomslayerprime9749]

Damn I remember watching this as a kid brings back memories man.

[@timscheive413]

DOOMSLAYER PRIME for me it brings back nightmares. This show freaked me out. Lol

[@elijahdavidson9224]

Tim Scheive this shit creepy af

[@fuckmeinmyassdotcom7649]

90s kids all the way!

[@stupidwalnut]

NOT THE MAMA

[@chelseavue7256]

DOOMSLAYER PRIME me too! :) I'm actually only in my 20s but we had dvds of a few seasons I used to watch.

[@UltraSenseiHoots]

That's a pretty interesting tune that Baby was singing in the beginning of the video.

[@roberthaworth9097]

"Edelweiss"?

[@UltraSenseiHoots]

Robert Haworth I have since learned that he was singing Edelweiss, yes haha :) It sounds like there's more than one voice coming out of him.

[@elguerokabron]

Taylor Gilligan thats amore

[@rosehearttoxic1691]

Mack McCordTM thats cause the mother and someone of camera was singing as well

[@rosehearttoxic1691]

Edelweiss is great for vocal practices for harmonizing with people around you

[@XenoKay88]

bring back puppet shows like this

[@karmaa8687]

the baby sounds like elmo

[@EdTannenbaum]

There's a good reason for that. Kevin Clash played Elmo and baby.

[@Zoloft77]

+Ed Tannenbaum and Master Splinter

[@succmaster5457]

i didn't even turned the sound on but i immediately thought of Elmo's voice on the baby haha

[@frogg-po9uw]

Actually, that is because both characters (the baby and Elmo) are voiced by Kevin clash.

[@RingoYote]

WERE, Kevin clash was fired from Seasame Street a few years back after it became known that he likes to touch little boys,

[@kryssstarr89]

I really miss this show, I wish they will air this back on t.v. The best show a child can watch, in my eyes

[@erinmefford8041]

The app Disney plus just added Dinosaurs recently

[@CosplayCore]

Fran’s puppeteer and the whole crew versus Kevin should be the subtitle of this video 🤣

[@NoahDiamond-Firearms-LLC]

"You better be glad she was holding me back!"... Still awesome.

[@tsakanikasg]

Man! I watched this as a kid and I would always act as baby.... now looking at it and I’m seeing how good the puppets were! This video is awesome... thanks!

[@dre8181]

I was born around the time this was filmed, August 1993.

[@charlesvolcher2454]

ABC should bring back this show after all they brung back The Muppets

[@mst3kanita]

They died in the last episode.

[@Pinata8888]

+mst3kanita trur

[@Pinata8888]

+Piñata Gamer *true

[@pennenoodles]

Uh they died

[@TadpoleTea]

mst3kanita So? they could reboot it.

[@kiddomoroll]

All the effort they put into this. It's incredible.

[@akeem2752]

So much emotion in them is crazy...i used to love this show

[@LapeyLou]

I looooooooved this show when I was a kid!!!! Now at 29 years old it’s still a guilty pleasure. 😂

[@walttholomew]

It sounds from the way everyone was interacting that everyone was on edge. The director in particular sounds like he's just getting pissed. I've talked with people who have to work on tv shows, and not even ones where you have to get in awkward positions and only see what you're doing through a monitor while trying to control a puppet. Tensions run high. There comes the time where you're caught in between, "I want to get this over with," and, "I just don't are and I don't want to anymore."

[@sethstrattan7380]

Walt Rimmer did the baby actor really had a meltdown

[@RobotCo-Op]

Whomever told you that wasn’t kidding. Trust us, we know. lol

[@christinecalifornia8136]

I remember this show...my kids were small. Jesus I'm old...😂😂

[@MikeRetroModz]

I prefer these old methods over CGI

[@Chrispbacon94]

lilYomi when you say that you discredit all the talent and CGI that goes unnoticed, CGI isn’t all bad, just bad CGI is, it’s just another tool in the toolbox. If you use it right the audience either doesn’t notice, or is so into the story they don’t care.

[@bretttheillustrator]

@@Chrispbacon94 no CGI still is not the same as real effect and it wont be. It has its place sure. Today this show would be 3d and it would be no where near as good.

[@NextNate03]

Companies relay way to much on CGI. Look what Christopher Nolan has done with very little CGI.

[@jtomally9681]

They all were just having a blast on set.

[@bethmckeown1352]

This technology needs to make a comeback, it is truly a lost art. I love actors go " of script " while still in character. This puppettee is so impressive. I never realized how much the baby sounded like elmo until now. And that would make sense haha the 90s was a hell of a decade these puppets look more life like than any cg I've seen, it's actually scary how good it is. It's really incredible to see how accustomed the puppeteers and actors become to their roles, when even the bloopers feels this alive. I love how they stayed in character the entire time!!! Hard to believe nobody has made another sitcom like this. This show was so fkn awesome

[@KT926]

"0:55 Moooooorrrrn aaaayyy!!" "NO! *turns head" 3:16 ROFL XDXDXD

[@confusedjack6057]

KT926 amore

[@nicolevarela7567]

LMAO

[@whitestguyuknow]

KT926 you've just got to love KZbin comments. You're ALWAYS gonna find someone who just quotes exactly what's said in the same video you just watched and just throw "ROFL!" And "LOL/LMAO!" with a bunch of Xs and Ds Just liking the video does the same exact thing as just saying "ROFL XDXDXDXD!!!1!12"

[@nicolevarela7567]

Troy Roebuck And there’s always going to be somebody complaining about the smallest thing.

[@KT926]

I wrote those lines in because they were my favourite parts and I put the ROFL and XDs because I was in fits of laughter the first time I watched this video. I think liking the video isn't expressing my thoughts enough

[@RodneytheOperaRat]

And..NO!! 3:16 *baby’s head spun back* ROFL 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RmnGnzlz]

When I was a kid I actually thought they were real and not puppets lol. Now I know it's actually Elmo inside acting.

[@xlxcrossing99]

Staying in character doesn't constitute as a meltdown.

[@NextNate03]

"Not the mama!" 🍳

[@ugandaknuckles5577]

The 90’s was the best year of my childhood before the show ended

[@Hola-ro6yv]

The 90s was a year?

[@tedgraham6548]

Fun fact: The same guy who did the voice for Elmo and splinter also did the voice for the baby…. Aslooooooooo. When I lived in Maryland .. around 95-96, my uncle took my three brothers and I to a friend of his. It was very nice neighborhood. With huge houses. He then introduced us to a man and his son. The father then took us around his home. And the first thing he showed us was his Emmy. Then He took us to his basement, where he had a movie posters of every voice he did. At that time I was young so, while it was cool to meet the person who did the voice for a lot of shows and movies I watched. I did not know the relationship he had with my uncle at the time. Until years later of course realizing my uncle was gay, but around 2011-12. It was when I realized their true relationship. I was a supervisor at McDonald’s and as I sitting eating lunch , the news came on talking about the sexually allegations from the guy who did the voice for Elmo. I was shocked because I remembered his face. I called my mother so quick , and she confirmed that was him. I was like whoa.

[@sarahchipperfield28]

I loved this show when I was younger!

[@valleybiitch]

Man, these costumes and puppets still look insanely good.
