Puppets have effectively been used in the movies and if animation in movie is typically a medium of technological innovation, then puppet cinema is surely its most regressive form. Puppet movies are at best charming oddities that nostalgically evoke more primitive eras in the evolution of visual media. Puppet movies, when they occur at all, nearly always focus on the technically impressive feats of the great stop-motion puppeteer. There are basically two types of puppet movies: stop-motion puppet films and live action. Setting aside the fact that nearly all stop-motion puppet cinemas incorporates some amount of live-action footage, there is nonetheless a single, fundamental difference between stop-motion puppet movies and live-action ones is Illusion. In a stop-motion puppet movie, the spectator is invited to accept the movie’s world as a complete entity with its own logic, to enter into or be absorbed by it; in the live-action puppet or marionette movie, there is always a fissure in the illusion, a patently unreal thing moving in a world that is temporally and physically too much like our own.
