Vaughn reveled in the practical effects and so did Marino, who told the director that working opposite Langley was like “acting with another actor.” Of course, the method was also painstaking. Mano would work the facial features using a remote control system while Langley took position behind the puppet, articulating Milo in scenes where motion was required.

On set, puppeteers Bob Mano and Frank Langley assumed the “role” of Milo. My only concern was whether people would believe that it came out of Duncan’s ass.”

“When I saw Milo being sculpted out of clay and molded into a foam puppet, I thought it was fantastic. “We were probably their tiniest movie,” says the director. The Bad Milo production spent one-seventh of its budget on bringing Milo to life, enlisting legendary artist Aaron Sims to design the creature and Fractured FX ( 300, Tron Legacy ) to sculpt him into existence.

"We tried to be earnest with the actual Hallmark movie of it all, the scenes between the couple and all that - we really wanted them to play it real and straight, not trying to be like wink, wink. " And even though this was a movie set - not a live sketch show - Dratch says they still applied that shorthand to their scenes. and then the old crones with Christmas wisdom and dewy-eyed mysticism.
