1st Fun fact: Geir Børresen had to go with bent knees to fit inside the Max Mekker suit. He looked through the black field in the hat. He always had his left arm in Max's left arm. He used his right arm to switch between Max's right arm and mouth, directing his eyes and mouth with his hands. 2nd Fun fact: In the stretchy lower jaw lies a narrow rectangular wooden block, this wooden block has two small keys attached to each fishing line, the fishing line is connected to the eyes, when the keys are pressed you can move the eyes. 3rd Fun fact: To prepare for the recording, American puppet maker Kermit Love went to Norway in June 1990 to train the Norwegian puppeteers. The costumes for the series were designed by NRK's costume designer Ellen Andreassen Jensen. Due to the rights of the licensors, the entire series of work teams had to go to New York to observe the production of Sesame Street and to match the costumes and scenery with the American original version.
Does max’s hat ever come off occasionally? Is Max’s large dock head essentially a hand puppet? Did the Norwegian puppeteer have a fan, a script origami and a tv monitor inside max? What’s a black field? Can you please draw me an X-ray picture of the Norwegian puppeteer operating max so I can see what the performer is doing inside the costume puppet? Does walking around with bent knees hurt Geir Børresen?
@@hobbyhumoristen TBH, they really should’ve used a Waldo where one performer operates the mouth and the eyes across the stage while the other performer on the stage is inside the body!
About the monster ski crash from Norway: Fortunately, everyone involved went well. That scene is shot in multiple recordings and clipped together to look a little more action packed. Scene 1: The dolls are on their way down the ski slope - "Fast transition" - Scene 2: The dolls are in the snow, the proprietor sprinkles snow on the dolls.

R.I.P Geir Børresen. Har gode minner med han fra min barndom.

I dont know alot about the life inside Max, but I know Geir Børresen confirmed years ago that his back was hurting after years in the costume of Max
