I really, really loved ToN. The altered ToD wasn't nearly as cool. One thing that amazed me was how those giant puppets would bend down and shake hands or touch little children and the kids wouldn't freak out, even though those things were huge and kind of freaky looking. I guess it was because they could actually see the person (much less freaky) operating the puppet. Which leads to part two of how amazing they were: even though you could see the puppeteer, it didn't take away at all from the illusion that they were really tall moving people/things. I love that parade. Thanks again for the link.
