Puppet music over the years

It started back in childhood that there were music songs with dolls on television. Think of the Puppet Cabinet with Jan Klaassen and Katrijn, De Bereboot, De Fabeltjeskrant, Sesame Street, but also De Freggels, Suske and Wiske, the Smurfs, the Wajang puppet ry and the Belly Speaking Puppet.
Then came the period of The World is Beautiful with Piet Piraat, Leprechaun Plop, Samson and Gert, Bumba, but also The Tweenies and The Teletubbies. And I'm sure there were more. And there's more. How about the Efteling?. There you also have a lot of puppet music.
Later, dolls also came in video clips and nowadays you can still see them in a variety of forms, such as puppet figures in animation forms.
I'll take you in this blog to see some of the highlights of the time.
I highlight some songs and I show them directly in the blog. Do you look along?

Wajang doll show or shadow play

Wajang means shadow and that's what you can see when you watch a Wajang doll show. It's very old and I think it's the oldest puppet game in existence. The first puppet show dates back to the year 840, a long time ago so. A white sheet is stretched and with light and shadow effects and the movement of the wajang dolls the story is told.

Walt Disney

Walter Disney, American film producer was also voice actor, presenter, designer, film director and became one of the most famous film producers in the world. The most famous cartoon figure he designed was Mickey Mouse. Disney has won many awards. Steamboat Willie is the first music cartoon released in 1928. Watch the video below.

Muppets

Jim Henson developed the Muppets since the 1950s. They have also been used in the Sesame Street program to date.
They're actually puppets. The Muppet show was also seen on television in the 70s and 80s, with figures like Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog.

At the moment, there is a new Muppet film from Muppets Haunted Mansion especially for Halloween. Watch the trailer below. And of course, the Muppet Themesong should not be missing.
