- [Voiceover] They dance, they flail, they're a big wacky

Meet Peter Minshall, a prominent Caribbean artist.

Known in Trinidad as the creator of larger than life

A man on the steering committee of the Olympics.

Peter was commissioned to help create an unforgettable

opening for the 1996 Olympic games in Atlanta.

In a moment nothing short of pure genius,

but this time he turned it into an inflatable air-man

that would move and dance just like his manned-puppets.

For this he had to call in another artist,

Doron Gazit, an engineer who happened to be obsessed

Between both men they were able to accomplish

60 foot inflatable two-legged dancing men.

The Tall Boys were nothing short of a success.

After they graced the Olympics, Gazit got a patent

and licensed the design to various advertisers.

Used car lots, cropped fields, shopping centers,

So the next time you see a big ridiculous inflated Tall Boy
