Muppet Doodle
I don’t usually see the point in commenting on a Google Doodle within this blog, because they are things that come and go quite quickly so the post becomes dated as soon as the doodle has gone. However because I am a huge Jim Henson fan and there is a youtube video that shares part of the process into creating this animated Doodle, I thought I would make an exception

Six new muppet like characters were created in collaboration with the Jim Henson company using the Henson Digital Puppet Studio to celebrate Jim Henson’s 75th Birthday (24/09/2011). These six characters were modelled to represent letters and colours of the google logo and according to the video posted by the Henson Company on youtube the idea was to allow the user to become a puppeteer and use their imaginations.

Plus there are a lot of great Easter eggs to discover while playing with these adorable puppet characters, but be quick as its only available for 36 hours.

Update: Google has now removed the Muppet Doodle but you can still have a play with it here

    While the company no longer owns any of The Muppets characters, the scenes featuring the fictional “Muppet Studios” in The Muppets were filmed at Jim Henson Studios.
