I don’t think they ever really went away, but my friend Mark Medley writes a piece about a puppet renaissance:

It’s a heartening turn of events. An art form that has struggled with low visibility, the advancement of computer graphics and a reputation of simply being for kids, puppetry is enjoying a renaissance; it is returning to its edgy roots while at the same time increasing its main-stream exposure. Puppets are everywhere: the stage, the screen and online, spurred on by a generation reared on these string, rod, fleece and googly-eyed creations.
