Snuffy?
editIs Snuffy from Sesame Street a pantomime animal? --172.130.18.233 (talk) 18:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes and no. He is, but all Jim Henson creations on Sesame Street are defined as Muppets. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Enid Blyton also made specific reference to the Pantomime Horse in Five go down to the Sea

The Barnies are to play at Tremannon Farm the next night and they descend en-masse. The Famous Five are introduced to Clopper the horse who is in reality Mr Binks (front legs) and Sid (back legs) and the children are treated to a little private performance which reduces them to helpless laughter. That night the two boys sneak out again and after being joined unexpectedly by Yan they see the strange beacon in the tower for themselves ... flash — flash — flash — flash! Very weird and sobering when the boys think of what it could herald. There is more suspicious activity from Mr Penruthlan as well which is observed by Julian and Dick on their way back to the farm house. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.45.67 (talk) 11:32, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Dubious...
edit"They fell into disrepute in America, following the arrest of a Mr Brandon "Call me Brandy" Brady. Mr Brady was charged with felony horse impersonation, and faked a stroke to avoid the inevitable jail time."
This seems highly unlikely. Huw Powell (talk) 01:04, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
