Puppetrynews and then PuppetVision picked up on this advertisement for the Mayflower moving company which borrows very directly from Royal de Luxe’s little giantess street theatre spectacle. It is by no means the first to do so, as we had the Allen’s big doll commercial in Brisbane last year and there have been others that I have been tracking for some years (several pages of posts), which show Royal de Luxe has been highly influential. But the way Audrey settles in her big chair and takes a nap is particularly close to the giantess resting in her deckchair. In my opinion she doesn’t evoke the beauty and mystic that the little giantess does, but she’s not alone in that either! The makers, The Character Shop, have detailed photos of the making process.
