Why live-action actors, and not Supermarionation puppets like the classic “Thunderbirds” series/movies?
An official statement has not clarified this, although it was likely felt that present-day audiences would accept/embrace live actors versus the puppetry of the 1960s. It should be noted that “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are releasing a major Hollywood studio movie — using marionation puppets as the stars! — close to the live-action “Thunderbirds” movie opening date.
