cow chicken was recently re-discovered at our house. before this most recent unearthing, cow chicken didn’t have a name or a voice or a personality, but for some reason, when he was found this time, the name “cow chicken” just popped up and he has become a household necessity. when the happy little dude doesn’t want to come to dinner because he’s too busy playing, if cow chicken asks him to come to the table, he will. when he recently slipped and fell down a few of our stairs, he cried for me first, then insisted that he needed to talk to (and re-enact the accident for) cow chicken. i am frequently asked to put cow chicken on so that the happy little dude can talk to him. and so, although it is awkward to film oneself while wearing a puppet, and completely impossible to adjust the focus manually while filming and wearing a puppet (and there’s no way the main characters will stay at the same focal length for the entire run of the movie, so auto focusing is pointless too)…. we’d like to present you with an introduction to cow chicken. our new best puppet friend. and also, flamingo–a relative who showed up a bit later.
