We mostly kept the puppets confidential to the project because we felt that the animation behind the movie wouldn’t be as special if we released them publicly. Look at how long it took for DHX’s puppets until they were leaked out. Its kind of the same vibe. We want the animation to be original but distributing the puppets wouldn’t make the animation feel original anymore because anybody could do them.

That’s why some animators don’t actually release their puppets out publicly. Its a personal decision that the animators made and I agree with them. So I shall respect what they wanted to do.
