George Mogwai Movie Prop

HERO GEORGE PUPPET WITH AN ANIMATRONIC HEAD &

Introduction

George is a mogwai character from the 1990 movie Gremlins 2: The New Batch. He is the "straight man" to his partner Lenny's constant dopey antics. His gangster type scowl almost personally etched in his face was originally based off actor Edward G. Robinson.

This George mogwai puppet created by Jim McPherson is the hero, or main puppet used throughout the mogwai scenes of Gremlins 2: The New Batch. This George was designed to be worn over a puppeteer's hand, with their fingers being used to move the hands.

The gray wire coming out of the back of the puppet would be hooked up to a late 80's computer and would power the animatronics in the head. George would have full eye, eyelid, ear, and mouth controls via this connection.
