War Horse puppets on their way to Toronto

This is a typically enchanting look at the lifelike full-size puppets of War Horse. They portray horses drafted into the British army in the 1914 war. The effect created by these puppets, and puppeteers, is extraordinary. They even have the sounds correct. Notice how the crowd responds as if the horse is real. It is said the puppets for the Toronto performances are on their way to the city. War Horse is slated to begin performances with a homegrown cast on Feb. 10, 2012 at the Princess of Wales Theatre.
