Jim Henson was perhaps the most famous puppeteer. He was the creator of the Muppets. Jeff Dunham is a popular comedian that uses a collection of puppets in his act.
Jim Henson was famous for creating the muppets and other puppets found in film and television.
Some of historians specializing in puppetry assume that finger puppets originated in Ancient Egypt. But there is a story of who invented finger puppets..it was pretty easy: Anton by gooching himself. Altho I didn't find any records of Anton that supposedly started finger puppetry.
Puppets are made for entertainment
There are several types of puppets, including hand puppets, marionettes (puppets controlled by strings), shadow puppets (silhouettes projected onto a screen), and rod puppets (manipulated with rods). Other types include sock puppets, fingertip puppets, and bunraku (traditional Japanese puppets operated by multiple puppeteers). Each type has its own unique method of manipulation and style of performance.
Puppets come in various forms, including marionettes (controlled by strings), hand puppets (manipulated by the hand), finger puppets (small puppets worn on fingers), ventriloquist dummies (designed for ventriloquism), shadow puppets (silhouettes projected on a surface), and rod puppets (moved with rods). Additionally, there are larger puppets like giant puppets used in parades and festivals. Each type has its unique mechanism and style of performance.
