Our expert's notes

A Lick Broccoli Claymation puppet made by creator Will Vinton for the 1988 mockumentary Meet the Raisins! The clay puppet is sculpted over bendable wire and hand-painted to resemble a green anthropomorphic broccoli floret with hair branches, big red mouth, a long tongue, arms, a wristband, tight yellow trousers, and black-and-white polka dot shoes with brass soles. The puppet is in excellent condition overall, having been stored for decades under archival conditions.

Following the success of its 1986 advertising campaign, the Will Vinton Studio releases Meet the Raisins!, a mockumentary about the California Raisins’ rise to fame. A rocker based on musician Mick Jagger named Lick Broccoli represents the ‘British broccoli invasion’. Meet the Raisins! was nominated for a Primetime Emmy in the category of Outstanding Animated Program.

Dimensions: 8” x 5” x 3” (20 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm)

Provenance: Mr. Will Vinton
