It's a well made clip, but the moment I buy bottled water is not likely to come any time soon!

Thats really funny - I wonder if it was a real puppet or a cgi'd version? Some of the moves were just a bit too smooth.

Here's a better quality version that I capped last night (though I missed the first 30 seconds) - in hi-def you can see there are strings, but I think it's a mixture of puppetry and cgi. There's some moves that are too complicated to be done with strings I'm sure... though I'd happily be proved wrong.
