Rigging issues with a seated character

Hi All,

Having some dramas with a seated character:  Thomas.puppet - Google Drive

I'd love to have the character move like this: 

With the head position effecting poses and the legs kept to the ground.

For some reason I am unable to achieve this effect. The current rig has all the body parts swim around and the legs stretch and warp with the movements.

Would really love some pointers on how to get the rig moving in the fashion I'm after!

Thanks All!

    I looked at your puppet. Nice.

    But I don't see the the limb distortions you mention. The head moves well, the bottle shake seems okay (I assume you want a cycle there). Could you be more specific on what you would like to see?

    Thanks for helping once again with a rigging issue KJerryK

    For some reason I cant get the arm to stay stationary as it swims away from the body.

    Also the legs drift down past the "ground". Any idea how to staple the arm to the body and the legs to the "ground"?

    Thanks again!

    Hi raisedbytheboys

    I'm just wondering if you are getting Thomas to do what you want. I got back to it and came up with this example.
