Who is John Ellis? How can he be considered the most famous glove puppeteer when there are dedicated glove puppeteer TV shows out there and he does not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.86.138 (talk) 21:54, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Glove puppetry is far more widespread than one English guy doing stuff based on Chinese Opera, who once appeared on the UK X Factor TV talent show.
 * No offence intended to J.E., but if there really is a deep Chinese tradition here, then I'd expect there to be some Chinese practitioners who are more famous for it (in China). And if we're talking about the UK, some of our most famous childrens' TV shows of the mid-C20th used glove puppets, and deserve a mention - Sooty and Sweep (Harry Corbett]), and Rod Hull and Emu spring to mind. And I'm sure that other countries had their own famous glove puppets and puppeteers. What about Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop?
 * I think we probably need a new page on glove puppetry, and this one needs to be moved to somewhere more specific to its subgenre. ErkDemon (talk) 14:32, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Are glove puppets different from hand puppets?
I haven't heard of "glove puppets" before. In what way are they different from hand puppets? Thomas Blomberg (talk) 14:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
