I love the way he has turned what many would see as a “disability” into his own personal superpower. This made my afternoon, thank you.
His Tigger costume is my absolute favorite. This really made me smile.
The Tigger costume is delightful, but the flamingo costume is a work of genius.
IMHO, YMMV, and all that.
Remember the three drones in “Silent Running”?
The three drones were played by four bilateral [amputees]
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amputee),[2] an idea inspired by Johnny Eck, a sideshow performer of the early 20th century who had been born without lower limbs.[3] The 20-pound (9.1 kg) drone suits were custom-tailored for the different actors. The suits are in Douglas Trumbull’s personal collection.
What a charming young man. The costumes are really inventive and amusing. Tigger, the Flamingo and the very self aware International House of Pancakes were my favourites.
