I know this isn't vent or even puppets, really, but I suspect many of you will find this interesting. It's a CBS Sunday Morning piece about automata. Watch and enjoy!

P.S. Those with kids and/or grandkids would really enjoy reading the book that "Hugo" is based on to them. It's mentioned in the above piece: The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Read the book, then see the movie. I promise you'll be enchanted.

I read the book and loved it. I haven't seen the movie yet but I will.

You're right Bob, though it isn't vent or even puppetry, it was still interesting to look at - thanks for posting it.
