Bob Baker gave me my first paying, long-term gig in puppetry. I will forever be grateful. There won't be another talent like him.
A cliche that rings true - "Heart warming." It's absolutely heart warming to see that small art forms such as this aren't dead. I FREAKING LOVE SOUL PANCAKE!
I was always scared of puppets because of my childhood films like chukie and puppetmaster.
I'm really touched, Puppeteer is such a beautiful thing.
Bob Baker is a very dear man, he has done so much to promote puppetry, to entertain and make others happy. Very lovely video showcasing his art and his kind heart.
Thanks for the suggestion! Please keep them coming. We hope to document many more communities and your suggestions are always helpful!
I got goose bumps in the end when Bob said he still talked about puppetry since he was 8. That is passion! Not many people have that. Great job Bob!
I love making puppets. I make them out of what ever ideas come out of my head, with what ever material I find. I always like to make them unique. This is a really relatable story for me.
It just makes me happy to know that this exists :) Thank you.
Always nice to listen to passionate people talk about their passion. That was great. Yep.
Also: Check out the description for a link to Bob's theater. You can learn more about the organization and where they're located.
Love Bob Baker and all his puppets.
That was so wonderful. Their passion really touched me. I think these are definitely going to be my favorite part of Soulpancake. Great Job!
Puppet people have more than one persons kindness and empathy and they can't hold it in
I really want to meet Bob Baker so badly! He sounds like such a nice guy! Also, call me crazy but I've never been scared of puppets and I really like the idea of being a puppeteer! Bob Baker and Jim Henson are such inspirations! ♡
I went to Bob Baker's Marionette Theatre when I was three years old. It was one of my fondest memories as a child. I remember being so enchanted by the puppets and how live like their motions were. I can't even describe how happy I was when I recognized the theater. It's really amazing.
What a great tribute to Bob Baker, may he watch from haven and laugh at us! Love Ralf B Metz from the Fürstlichen Puppentheater (Royal Puppet Theater - Germany)
Best segment on the pancake so far.
This was absolutely fascinating! After 1 week of content I am without a doubt staying around for Soul Pancake. I loved all the shows but this was really touching and it's amazing to see someone who is so passionate about something doing it till their elder ages. Thank you so much for this!
Amazing .Impressed. Beautiful artistic.
Thanks for posting this video. This story was especially touching because of Bob's obvious love for puppets and marionettes, and how they can entertain everyone from the very youngest to the oldest. Eric's story was evocative, also, since he was drawn back to life among the living by Bob & his puppets after enduring his own trials. May Bob, Eric and those who care about them live long and prosper.
Being a puppet myself, I appreciate this video. Check out my show folks.
by far my favorite soulpancake show. Great job. this is truly beautiful.
same here. i nearly cried because his words were so beautiful. he lives his dream and this is what you just could wish every human being.
This was really amazing! Can't wait to see more!
Thanks! We're really thrilled with Erin and her crew too! Be sure to check the description for a bonus video link showcasing Erin trying her hand at marionettes.
Brought tears to my eyes. Touching.
This is Amazing! Thank you Rainn Wilson for sharing this video on Twitter! This made my day for sure!
This is fantastic. I love puppets so much; it's good to see others who do too, and who are keeping the art alive.
Thank you so much, Soul Pancake. This was absolutely beautiful. I love the grace with which the puppets move. I've never seen anything like it.
I think a SubCulture on steampunk would be really cool. Especially when combined with Erin's directing style.
This is definitely my favorite segment that you've done on here. I LOVED it. I can't wait to see more. One "subculture" that I would love to see you guys do is marching bands/drum and bugle corps.
This is a fantastic video. Really looking forward to what other Subculture videos are put out.
What a fantastic inspiring video. It's so rare to see somebody love what they do so much like this gentleman. And I love how amazingly positive the comments are. Keep it up, you guys are doing a great job.
Wow! I like the overalls!
This is amazing. Thanks Soul Pancake!
i'm in awe. soulpancake is brilliant.
I loved that, it was so well made. Looking forward to more :)
This is just a beautiful story. Very well done, Soulpancake.
This was just lovely :D
Yes! Now this is something I'm looking forward to every week...
I love what your channel is becoming. It's really something beautiful.
Awesome, Gotta keep these coming. So good.
Absolutely beautiful work. Thank You.
This is just wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing it!
This is so beautiful and so sensitively portrayed. What a truly wonderful video, and subculture! Thank you soulpancake :')
Ridiculously well done!
I would love to see a more indepth video on this. I hope Mr. Baker gets his academy built. People like Mr. Baker who do art out of love really are national treasures.
I love the passion that goes into their work. Loved this video :)
This is phenomenal.
GREAT VIDEO! I got to be honest, I almost didnt watch and just get rid of it out of my subscription queue. The story, the editing, the quality of this video was excellent!
Nice piece. Thanks Soul Pancake!
This was chillingly brilliant. It left me with such a wonderful feeling and I can't wait for more "subculture" videos! Everything you guys have uploaded so far is just amazing to watch and share. All of the people who worked on this did such a wonderful job and Conner Davis's editing is beautiful!
A subculture video on Zines would be pretty neat. There are some really talented people out there who devote themselves to creating them. :D I've always wanted to learn more about it.
This is incredible!
How delicate and wonderful, the art and creation of marionettes. Great Share
That was a lovely documentary!
Great video, keep em coming
What a lovely video!
What a beautiful video.
Wow I wish I could see this show.
Beautiful.
truly inspirational stories
This is such a nice video :) I hope this theater gets more visitors because of this video
Balloon full of creepy drawings = creepy.
This video = awesome.
This was beautiful! I am SO EXCITED for these shows now! Everything is very well done and I really appreciate this show. Thank you so much for sharing.
For other viewers who like this show, there is another excellent show similar to this called, "American Hipster Presents". They go around do different restaurants, theaters, artists and more to share the cool craft they are doing. Like Soul Pancake, it is excellent and it deserves many more fans.
This was lovely.
Great Video but more importantly a great subject. Truly amazing and touching. This is something that should be saved.
This things like this are really touching and meaningful loved it absolutely loved it
Absolutely Great!
I have another suggestion for a future SubCultures episode - medieval re-creationists. Find a chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism near you. We sword fight, dress in costumes, make things like they did in the middle ages. It's awesome!
Great job! Pleasure meeting you as well.
Beautiful and fascinating! :)
Wow, this is really something, great job
I never liked puppets really, but this was actually... pretty dang cool.
THIS IS AWESOME
This Was beautiful
A wonderful video.
wow...cheers Bob!!
My grandfather was Michael O’Rourke Master Puppeteer.
Touching
that was very cool,... thanks for sharing!
I would love to shake this mans hand one day. Such a wonderful person.
This wonderful. Just wonderful :)
For a great live action movie with marionettes, see "Strings". Great show!
amazing
As someone who participates in a few subculture communities, I love this show! I've always wanted to know about small communities of underrated and stereotyped fields of interest from the inside.
REALLY scaring.
wow this is great
Yay for nerdfighters on soulpancake!
I LOVE marionettes and this guy is truly amazing - don't let this art die...
Seeing someone so passionate about anything is always touching. The man could love broccoli and I'd probably find it just as elegant and beautiful as I did this video. ( To be fair, I like some good broccoli....)
Extraordinary work by u guys... my kids loved it..Like to see u in India...
GREAT!!!
When I saw this in my sub box I was hesitant to watch it because I thought it would be creepy because I thought puppets were kinda creepy but I am really glad I did watch it because the video was well made and interesting and had great cinematography and music. It really made me rethink my stance on puppets! Thanks!
It's what I have done--when you make it yourself, you have this...tie to it, I suppose; like it means more than one you would buy. It is a lot of hard work (it took me several days to finish my cardboard and Styrofoam beta-version, but I wanted to get "him" "down-pat" before moving on to wood), but when the project is done, it is worth it. Good luck!
I love puppets!
best thing ever!
Why am I crying? :')
im bringing my family. thank you
Fucking shit. This is goddamn awesome.
I find puppets creepy, I always have, but this video touched my heart, what an amazing man with a lifetime of living his passion, I hope he finds his special someone to pass his "special tricks" onto. xxx
