Watch Out For Poison!

10 min

A gleefully silly puppet-led warning that tickles rather than scares, with a cheeky Henson-style charm throughout.

Directed by
Nikki Tilroe
Overview
Maine ETV Network, 197? An early and obscure work directed by Nikki Tilroe, better known as a puppeteer/performer on Today's Special, Fraggle Rock and Cucumber. This movie is hilarious (intentionally for a change - Henson's influence is obvious) while stopping just short of being mean.
