Taminella Grinderfall Taminella Grinderfall is the witchiest witch of them all . She was the star of " Tales of the Tinkerdee " , an unaired pilot created by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl in 1962 . Taminella is excluded by King Goshposh and his circle from the royal birthday party . In retaliation , Taminella plots to steal Princess Gwendolinda ' s birthday presents through cunning , multiple disguises , and an insistence on obeying the rules of etiquette while planning to rob the king blind . A master of impersonations , Taminella ' s guises range from Pierre , the greatest sculptor in Tinkerdee , to Santa Claus himself , to even Princess Gwendolinda . Taminella subsequently appeared as the witch in " Shrinkel and Stretchel " , co - starring the RX Twins . She eagerly anticipated consuming the kids , until they informed her of a powerful new magic , Pak - Nit RX , which took her mind off the subject . The character was revived for the 1971 special " The Frog Prince " . Though still voiced by Jerry Juhl , Taminella was now a full - bodied character , puppeteered by Richard Hunt . Her comedic aspects were also toned down and her power and menace emphasized , to present her as a genuine threat to be overcome . Her actions in the special were far more malevolent than silly disguises and present stealing : she turned Sir Robin the Brave into Robin the Frog ; fooled the gullible King Rupert the Second into believing that she was his sister , Aunt Taminella , while plotting to take his throne ; and cast a spell on Princess Melora that made her talk wackbirds . She was defeated by Robin , when he figured out how to " bake the hall on the candle of her brain . " Afterwards , she turned into a bird , and was never used again in another Henson production . In the original script for " The Great Santa Claus Switch " ( which was originally titled " The Witch Who Stole Christmas " ) , Taminella was intended to be the special ' s villain . The puppet used for Taminella was recycled as Tommy , who appeared in ads for Kern ' s Bakery with his partner Fred ( previously used as the Prime Minister ) . Since 2015 , the Taminella Grinderfall puppet has been on display at the Center for Puppetry Arts as part of their permanent Worlds of Puppetry exhibit and is also seen in " The Jim Henson Exhibition " at the Museum of the Moving Image .
