Not-so-secret affection: The writer fan-girled– and also remains to do so– over Ragmop, Goose, and also their gaggle. An on-line advance occurred, and also a reaction got here! Jessie “Ragmop” Caballero’s reply is listed below:
We are Ragmop & & Goose, and also we run a “Creature Fostering Company” where we hand-make, ahem, excuse me — duplicate– creatures and also placed them up for fostering! The tradition to our company is Ragmop (a.k.a. Jessie) is a creature guardian (assume the Steven Irwin of the creature globe) and also Dr. Goose (a.k.a. Gus) is a crazy researcher, and also with each other, we uncover and also save various varieties of creatures– done in the name of revitalizing the globe’s love of puppetry. We have a household of wacky creatures– each with their very own special characters– that aid us take care of the company by prepping any type of Fostering Certifications, Personal Records, and also Creature Parenting Guides required for our adoptees being dispatched to their brand-new houses! They likewise star in our video clips that we share throughout social media sites systems.
Our collab with The Lightjackets begins years back, upon the opening of a little Sherman Oaks [California] treasure called Augustine A Glass Of Wine Bar Gus began functioning there in 2015, and also Vance was a customer. Throughout the years, we have actually established a relationship with Vance, and also he’s constantly been helpful of our creature job. Late in 2014, he asked us if we would certainly have an interest in shooting a creature video for the band’s latest EP, and also we could not claim no!
We had such an amazing experience shooting the video clip, and also we found out a lot! We developed complete embed in our workshop and also shot on place with a complete team of our pals standing in as creature additionals. Given that the video clip has actually been released, it’s overcome 92K TikTok sights and also checking. We have actually listened to terrific responses from pals and also coworkers … Some individuals have actually also informed us it made them destroy. Most importantly, Vance and also The Lightjackets definitely like it, and also we have actually never ever really felt a lot more pleased with a task.
Unwanted creature prognostication and also soaring verdict: By taking a web page from the 1983 Cabbage Spot Children playbook, and also blending it with a Jim Henson perceptiveness and also an awesome track, the “Our Little Transformation” ariose and also marionette artists are predestined to surpass the globe. Could a CPK-style vacation plaything trouble follow? If so, after that might it be as serene and also amusing as “Our Little Transformation!”
