This is an original "Martian" stop-motion animation puppet from the 1996 Tim Burton film, Mars Attacks! This film was originally planned as a stop motion homage to the old Ray Harryhausen films; however they ultimately decided upon computer-generated animation and based their animation upon these stop-motion puppets. The puppets were then used to scan in assisting with the computer generated animation featured in the live action film. The puppet stands approx. 14 ¾ in. tall and is built of a steel and aluminum armature, and was obtained directly from Warner Bros Archive.
