Best Answer

The eyes have always been considered a key element to the puppet's character. And key to that is the placement of the eyes. The creator of the Muppets was puppeteer Jim Henson. Members of the Henson Associates creative team have emphasized the importance of the placement of the eyes. They call the placement of the eyes in relation to the nose and mouth "the magic triangle."

One of the ways the eyes look a bit more natural, and draw the focus of the viewer is by pointing the pupils slightly inward. Older puppets have smaller pupils. The larger pupils give more of an impression of youth and innocence.

Some puppets have facial parts around the eyes that are flexible. For instance, Bert's eyebrow is very mobile, and moving it makes it change the eyes' appearance.
