A system and method for three-dimensional animation of rod-arm puppet extremities employing a snap fastener having the stud element attached interior the hand on a rigid support element; and, a closure element carried on a flexible support structure which is capable of an arcing, rotational movement about the control rod. Thus, rotational movement is provided between the control rod and the hand (foot) in two planes giving the puppet extremity the appearance of smooth continuous movement without jerkiness or "floppy hands" (feet) or the familiar unnatural movement. The rod can be disconnected from the extremity for transportation and/or storage, yet provides secure rotational engagement of the rod and the extremity during performance. In another embodiment the rigid support element carries a plurality of outstanding, deformable members which give rigidity to the fingers on the hand.
