The Creature Shop's Satchel Paige bobblehead.
Are We There Yet? is a 2005 comedy film starring Ice Cube and directed by Brian Levant. It would go on to spawn a sequel in 2007, Are We Done Yet?, and a sitcom in 2010 on TBS.
A bobblehead doll of baseball player Satchel Paige (voiced by Tracy Morgan) acts as a sort of Greek chorus throughout the film; the digital character was created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The doll's movements were performed with the use of the Henson Digital Performance System by puppeteers David Barclay and Bruce Lanoil.
