Remote-controlled Muppets

Muppets are almost always performed as traditional hand puppets. On some occasions, other techniques are used, including remote-controlled mechanisms. This is most commonly achieved by using a waldo, with increasing levels of complexity.
For characters performed almost exclusively in this manner (most often created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop), see the Creatures category.
