I just read this and it is true. There is so much happening in front of the camera that sometimes we forget all the people you need behind the scenes to make the movie happen. Recently we lost the man who was Chucky's puppeteer for the first 3 movies as well as Seed as well as the puppeteer behind the Cryptkeeper for many episodes with the passing of Brock Winkless. Anyone who has seen the movies or the show knows just how good he was bringing them to life, making you forget that they were puppets. This is especially true for the childhood me that grew up on these movies and show. Along with the voice work the puppets became much more then puppets and instead become icons. With everything heading towards CGI it's easy to forget the skill needed to do such masterful work. May he rest in peace knowing that his work will stand the test of time.
