This is amazing! They got the characteristics of a horse down to a point! Ears, breathing, tail twitches, foot work and all! Unbelievable work. :)

This is oddly adorable. Why am I addicted. Help.

They were all shy, how cute. And how talented they are. Amazing.

The ear swiveling is the most real and out of habit I watch Joey's ears. The people make Joey so real I tend to forget they're there. From a distance Joey acts like a real horse. Absolutely incredible!

I saw this play a while back. The puppets are so amazing it actually looks like it is draging the puppeteers along, not the other way around. In my humble opinion the hindlegs are the weak point of Joey. I have lived with horses all my life, and the movement and anatomy of Joey's butt is just a bit off to me. But the frontlegs, chest, neck, and head makes up for that flaw. They are so realistic it hurts. Well done everyone that worked on Joey and his actors. He is amazing!! As for the complaints about the actors being visible, thats the point. Especially the head actor. They show Joey's personality in the clothing. If you seen the show you would know that the other major horse puppet has a completely different outfit for its actors. They are dressed in military uniforms. It is to show that Joey is a simpel farmer horse dragged into war, while Major is a horse trained for battle. They act and move differently as well, with Joey being both smaller and more relaxed and Major being big, strict, and bossy. It is genius tbh

That is truely amazing!! My husband and I are going to see War Horse in London in October and i'm so excited.

The guys under the puppets are probably hunchbacked now😆

I saw the play, it was amazing best thing I saw last year.

Saw the production in London. AMAZING.

wow.. after watching the movie .. one of my favorite movie... amazing

Incredibly lifelike!

amazing !!!!!!! He look and move soo realistic !!!!!

Fantastic effort

Brilliant :3 I ride and have been around horses to some degree or another all my life and all he is saying about emotional indicators is correct its so lifelike if you put fake fur on it you could trick any horse person it's a real horse lol

I'm so glad I went to see his in the theaters

This is really amazing! I have never seen anything this complex in a puppet! It's so realistic.

JJJJJJJAAAAMES BAAXTEEEER.

Wow this is unbelievable

This is amezing horse (wow) is bvotefol .WoW👏👏👍❤💙🐎

It would be fantastic if this came to Australia

like a real horse .

Absolutely Extraordinary 🐎

The guys under the puppets are pretty cute ;)

amazing

great work, bought tickets from RMB, can wite to see the play at Monte

Omg that is so cool!!!!!!!

i swear that horse looks real

Well done, guys!

crazy this horse is made of metal but still sweet some how!

Incredible. Man how do you even get on the career path of being a broadway puppeteer? Seems like it'd follow a different route than just actors...

THAT was fucking GLORIOUS !

At some point in the conception, producers probably said “but two folks in a costume would be cheaper.”

it actually looks like a real horse :0

if you couldn't see the humans in it, him controlling the head and obviously the endo-skeleton, you would never even know that, that wasn't a real horse xP

So cool

love it

Wow

I've had a horse step on my foot and wouldn't want Joey stepping on my foot. So I can well picture the weight of Joey's hoofs.

Ella you're right I didn't mean to sound negative they did an oustanding job.

Humans can be almost as beautiful as equines....who'd a thunk it.

Amazing! Can I ride it too?

💋💓💜

Very talented people, much more watchable than any of the AI robots out there in my opinion.

Henson would be proud!

thats cruel! animals should be used for our entertainment! the lights are probably scaring him and now hes gonna die 5 years earlier than he should due to stress.

can you please try and make a video of the war horse with the puppeteers are in black... thank you...

There are very tiny things that are a bit unrealistic, i spend 80% of my time around horses, but I have Baroque Friesians and then about 14 other horses, the friesians have very extended and high leg movement and very elegant smooth movement, so maybe im just used to their movement compared to quarter horses,thoroughbreds the usual, ,I'd also say the lope, canter and gallop movement is probably the hardest thing to replicate, with some horses like quarter horses having naturally low heads and minimal movement and friesians having naturally high heads and extended movement and they balance more with their heads as pendulums, I'd also say horse crossover their legs, if it was like joey, he is probably a highly trained horse and would know how use the front and hind quarters independently, but overall its super realistic

wow

What about canter

Shit leg up

how do they get all the caricaturists right

feet are spaced way too far apart when walking

I can see their legs

what happened to canter?

Anna Richard

Yah u forgot the canter

Put gloves on those human hands and the guys need to wear some other color pants. Looks like the horse has way too many legs. The head is awesome, tho.

i think its better if the puppeteers are in black... maybe...

i think the puppeteers should wear black

Read the book then see the play. Only then will you see how much that movie destroyed it! :(

This horse would look sooooo much more realistic if they added faux (fake) fur onto it's whole body. And it would be nice and professional if the puppet people wear all black so they blend in so they wouldn't stick out and be quickly noticed by the audience.. Doing so will also make the horse look more alive/realistic. But, overall they did a good job on the horse puppet, the sounds, etc...The handler and his costume is fine, it keeps the act of the character going and it show what time period he came from :)..

Sound is rubbish to

well, thats enough videos for tonight. this sucked

fake i dont know why he jumped its not real life horse plus i dont like war horse it makes me cry when i watch it

cause I'm a dressage rider, they don't look very real, the horses back leg must come into the same spot the front legs where when they were on the ground, so...., the front leg leaves a hoof print on the ground, the back leg has to go into that print the front leg left

fake
