Neal scanlan studios specialises in Animatronics, an 'animatronic' is a robotic puppet. Walt Disney was the first to come up with the term 'animatronic' to describe their moving models and figurines on display at Disney Land, although they have always been around in film making, and it was the responsibility of the Special Effects or Art departments to provide mechanical props:

The studios have worked on films such a Babe, 101 dalmatians, the wind in the willows and little pet shop of horrors. Its amazing to see everything that goes into the work, such at the moulding, the engineering, the cosmetics and most of all the performance allowing the animatronic to look real and do its job successfully.
