This item is a magnificent piece. Animatronic head moves up, down, left & right with your control. It's mouth opens and closes. Incredibly realistic and powerful presence. Control cable runs to handle 20' away.

This hippo recently worked in Fiat commercial in Brazil. Click here to see some "Behind the Scenes" footage.

Testimonial from Universal Studios
Thank you so much for your participation in the Education Works event at Universal Studios Hollywood last weekend. Your donation of the “critters” for our Movie Zoo was an added and very much enjoyed bonus for our guests. It was a great opportunity for the kids to have the hands on experience of manipulating the animals and earning their “Special Effects Technician” certificate.

Your thoughtful presentation and well executed set-up allowed the maximum number of guests to experience the attraction. Your attention to detail was evident throughout our dealings, especially in printing and providing the “Special Effects Technician” stickers as giveaways for the kids. The entire process of working with you and your group, from our initial visit to the shop to your suggestions of what animals/puppets were kid friendly and easy for them to work with, to your generous donation to the Education Works foundation of your product and time, was a wonderful one. The execution of your portion of our event was exceptional and worry free on my end! Thank you again for your participation in the Education Works event. I look forward to future projects with Animal Makers and recommend you highly at any opportunity I can.

Sincerely,
Kathi Fastnow Dirkse
