Rare original puppets and models including Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie, Fantastic Mr Fox and childhood favourites – Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, Twirly Woos and Bob The Builder are all on display in Altrincham.
Also on display for the very first time at Waterside’s Lauriston Gallery will be an original puppet and models made by Mackinnon & Saunders for the soon to be released Guillermo del Toro feature film, retelling the story of Pinocchio, set to be streamed on Netflix later this year.
Displayed alongside these gems will be puppets and models from the current Netflix hit animation feature The House. Paying homage to their longstanding working relationship with Hollywood director, Tim Burton, several puppets and models they made for two of his films, Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie will also be in the exhibition as well as work from their contribution to hit movie Fantastic Mr Fox.
