Production
The costumes for each character were inflatable suits operated by performers inside. A camera built into each character’s nose provided a live feed to a screen inside the suit, allowing the actors to see their movements. The eyes were controlled using rare-earth magnets, while the mouths functioned with moving pallets that opened and closed.[1]
Human characters were also included, mostly to look after characters who either fell or had pupils falling off.
