The Ventriloquist and the Dummy - 2012 was released on: USA: October 2012
if you are talking about the type of dummy used by a ventriloquist, then i believe you have to have a special one made where the eyes can be moved.
a ventriloquist dummy es a opening in it's back that the audiance cant see. there are many strings that the ventriloquist can pull to make the puppets mouth open, raise it's hand, or even roll it's eyes. It is actually very hard to master ventriloquisiom, for the ventriloquist has to learn to talk through partially closed lips while making it appear that the "dummy" is talking

This may a ventriloquist, but I would say that a ventriloquist always uses a dummy. It could also be a tailor.
A ventriloquist's partner is called a "dummy" or "ventriloquist dummy." This figure is typically a puppet that the ventriloquist manipulates while performing, creating the illusion that it is speaking independently. The dummy can range from simple designs to more elaborate characters, often with distinct personalities and voices.

To make Slappy the Dummy, you typically need a ventriloquist dummy or a puppet that resembles him, which can be purchased or crafted. Start with a basic dummy or puppet and customize it by painting the face, adding a wig, and dressing it in a suit or outfit similar to Slappy's. You can also add features like movable eyes and a mechanism for the mouth to enhance its ventriloquist functionality. Finally, practice your ventriloquism skills to bring Slappy to life!
The Ventriloquist Store and Ebay are two online stores where you can purchase ventriloquist dummies. Each of these online retailers offers hundreds of dummies to choose from.
