You shouldn’t suppress your gut feelings. They can take on a life of their own. Literally, in the case of this puppet animation. And then those repressed, puppety feelings might just start boozing and brawling.

Ever seen a plasticine puppet sweat? Glen, the main character in Manoman, starts off as the most sympathetic puppet in recent memory. But when a primal scream therapy session gets him in touch with his manliness – in the form of Manny, a caveman doppelgänger with a big influence on his personality – that sympathy starts to wane.
