BTW, "The Thunderbirds" animation always kinda scared me--looked *too* weird.

BTW they had to make the heads big to accommodate the puppetry stuff. By the time Captain Scarlet came along the mechanical stuff was miniaturized enough to give them normal heads.

Oh, okay, that explains it. I guess puppet technology was still in its infancy then--this was before the Kroffts and the Muppets.

That "Thunderbirds" live action movie scares me, too--doesn't look like it has much to do with the original.
