1:32 He kicked the blocks like a fricking savage

mann... i remember watching this when it first came out when I was kid....

Wait, A PRODUCT!!! THIS IS SOOOO NECESSARY!!! ALL MY FRIENDS WILL FINALLY LIKE ME!!!!!!!

This sooooo soothing, amazing

Just recently found your channel and I must say your work with puppets is amazing! Your style reminds me of the japanese Bunraku style of puppeting, with realistic movements and ingenious mechanisms.

Did these ever go into production? I'd love an update on when I might be able to purchase one?

WOOOOOOEEEEEEE!!!!! FK YEAH BOI! Master of multiple arts! Ruler of hearts! Opener of minds, KICKER of behinds!!

I will low key buy this

YES I want one Barnaby to buy no matter the money

Damn dude that rocked.

When manu threw that block thing at the camera i flinched and made a heigh pitched small lil' yelp

This was fantastic

Awesome!!!

You've got a really great sense of gravity. The puppet really feels grounded. That is so often missing in puppet work. It seems to be almost impossible with marionettes.

The day you realize a hand puppet dances better than you do

fun fact: Manu in latin means "with the hand"

This puppet dances better than I do....

This stuff is so damn cool!

manu the tribal god of destruction and dance

"Manu-factured"

Manu: the gravity defying alien that can pull the best dance moves

duuuuude just found your channel you are super talented

This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen! I've seen your videos quite a while ago and was so impressed. I just got done watching you with Adam Savage on Tested with my 4 year old daughter, and she thought it was so cool she looked at me and said "daddy can you teach me that!" You are an inspiration, and if these puppets ever hit the market I will absolutely buy one.

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these! Pun intended

That sad moment when you realize that a Puppet has better moves than you 😦 #WeNeedMoreManu

This is one of the best puppets Ive ever seen Edit: just thought of something. What if Barnaby wears and has green clothes on so it can be green screened. OR he has what he has on right now, but the puppet has that neon-black-light texture. So if recorded in the dark with a blacklight, all you can see is the puppet. Either way, what he has now is pretty sweet!

this is adorable i love your creativity and artwork

It's incredible how versatile this guy is, and how proficient you've become at manipulating him! I eagerly look forward to buying one for myself, even if I have to ship it across the pond.

I don't know if anyone knows what I mean, but I'm really glad Barnaby fixed the ballsack problem. (For anyone who doesn't know, he was controlling Manu bare-handed before and his knuckles gave the rather unfortunate appearance of Manu having a gigantic ballsack.)

Maybe you should do a "moon walk" for a new cool dance move

Love Manu! Barnaby is definitely exploding with talent. So excited to see where all this goes. Way to go, Barnaby! Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us.

Congrats Barnaby. I am so happy I got to see you evolve with the puppet. Please consider getting a twitter! :D

i love this little guy.its like he has his own personality

Destroying humanity in style

Manu looks like a god of great dance moves and great distruction

Sooo Barnaby, do you dance as well as Manu does? So awesome. Btw, contrary to what most people on here seem to say, I actually enjoy being able to see you operating the puppet. It's like the horse puppets in War Horse (which I didn't get to see live, unfortunately). The operators are clearly visible, but the movements and the character of the animal are so realistic and lively that you forget they're there. Then at any time, you can pull yourself out of this and go "oh shit, they're there", and marvel at their puppet operating skills. Same is true for the way you operate your puppets. I love it.

You need to get a green screen and a sexy green suit then replace all that green.

I feel like this guy should have more subscribers than he has now, he's very talented and absolutely magnificent.

Hehe I see that you took people's advice about the glove. I love your videos and all of the characters especially!

He's not even focusing on the puppet.😮

Ooohhh I haven’t seen this one before. It’s amazing how this guy can give each of his puppets a different and unique personality.

As much as I love watching the puppet, it's fun to look at the man behind it, the intensity on his face is amazing!

0:14 I can't wait until he comes out If he does I'm buying him immediately

2:04 That green block ascended lmao

The low gravity moves are very convincing!

For me, just making something that looks like, and behaves like an actual living thing is absolutely amazing. Good job.

You should make a movie with the puppets

Who is the monster that gave this video a thumbs down?! Shame on them. This was beautiful! I wish that I could dance as well as Manu haha. :)

How can someone dislike this incredible sort of art work?

I've never seen anyone get so excited over puppet dancing...lol but I do agree it's a pretty cool that he can do this

This is beautiful.

Nice one!! Keep up the good work. Destructible environments, Inventive ideas all the time!!! You can notice your choreography getting better as well. Really excited to see you grow!

Look at that! He can even move the fingers! I adore u! ❤️

Wow! Only a dancer as well as a talented visual artist could meld these 2 art forms to such a great tune!

thank god i found your channel love your vid bro . greetings from Vietnam

Manu's design reminds me of an Aztec god. He really is an amazing puppet.Truly terrific video Barnaby!

Found this channel recently, No matter how crap the day may have been, You and your little friends always put a grin on my face, keep it up. Amazing how you have brought them to life :)

*Lego makes Bionicles* Barnaby Dixon: Imma end this man's career.

Awesome !! It's good to finally put a name on this puppet I hope the manufacturing process will go through, I'd be glad to have Manu's clone in my hands ;)

This is seriously so inspiring and has brought so many new ideas to my mind in terms of movement and simplifying forms.

I love this !!!! Made me cry just seeing how pationate you are with manu

soooo great!! im here becaue of a win compilation greets from germany

You know who,s popular!?! The puppets... LOL

Bro! The simplest of things can be so profound! Way to blow people’s minds! You just played with a puppet & toy blocks & IMPRESSED! so cool!

I FRICKIN LOVE THIS ITS SO fun to watch

As we can see in this shot a grown is playing with his blocks watch him go it’s to magestic

This thing destroying his own kingdom

I could see a more Hawaiian-themed Manu being used to promote Moana...

The rain dance has got a whole new swing!

OMG I just discovered your channel ... this is pure magic *---* I'm literaly in love with your work right now ! It's currently 1am when I'm writing this and I just can't stop watching .. so fascinating !!!

Can I take dance lessons from him?😂

Has he made them available to the public yet? I want one sooo badly!

It’s amazing how you’re not even looking at the puppet while you are doing those cool moves with your fingers

Absolutely brilliant, Barnaby!

Do you think you'll ever make dabchick into a product?

what age are you Barnaby? I'm curious to know

These videos make me so happy . You have no idea 💕

I think I enjoy seeing the puppet and the puppeteer during a performance!

it looks like Rick

Consider putting down more pressure on his legs to make it seems more realistic,because right now he just looks likes he floating almost.

this is amazing man . the craftsmanship and talented performance .

Have you patented your idea? I think i caught China going through your youtube videos as we speak :-)

not going to lie I think the "per video" thing on Patreon is kinda weird. I'd rather do just every month I pay a certain amount since one month you might upload 5 videos and i'll end up paying $20 x 5 for that month while the next month you only upload 1 video etc.
