[Voat]

i was browsing youtube and saw something interesting. there are these pretty dolls that seem to be made into a 'live action' puppet chinese soap opera thing? IDK what they're called. Here's a link to what I'm talking about

That.. is so ******** cool.
And I usually hate dolls irl!

What the ******** did I just watch.  

[hornworts]

Wow. That was pretty dramatic.

Interesting how they used puppetry tho. It could be accomplished with real actors, but interesting medium.

It was kinda jerky tho.

I wish when I played dolls it could be as cool as that emo

 

[acn period]

That was... wut.  

[Voat]

I guess that means no one knows crying

i was watching some other clips and it looks like all the dolls are voiced by men (even the females?). it's so hard for me to tell which gender is which when they do that...especially since the dolls all look feminine.

but they're so pretty...

there are some vids where the dolls do things like spit out blood too. it's so interesting to watch.

What I got from it is that it's really sad that puppets and special effects can accomplish more than the $200M+ spent on the Last Airbender movie.

But the puppets are beautiful. They look almost like BJDs.

That movie is still the only movie whose mere existence incites a powerful burning feeling in my chest mad



also I'm kind of sad because I should be able to recognize the language but I can't :T

wtf are they speaking? don't sound like mandarin to me.

It's Cantonese, I think. Cantonese sounds very different than Mandarin.

That's what I was thinking, but it doesn't even sound that canto to me D; maybe cause I'm only used to hearing squealing cantonese girls lololol.

Idk, I was reading along to some of the subtitles and trying to match it up to what I was hearing and I was failing hard ;__;

It looks great. Reminds me of one of those shadow puppets I've seen a long time ago. The Chinese are good at this kind of thing.

my mom says it sounds like Shanghainese with a bit of mandarin. my dad would know since he speaks shanghainese but he's asleep.

she doesn't know what these shows are either but she thinks the dolls are creepy XD
