Wonderful storytelling and world-building; an '80s Kids Classic for the ages
2 May 2019
I never saw The Dark Crystal (1982) as a kid, but seeing it now in my 20s I was in awe by the marvellous attention to detail and creativity that went into every frame of this creation. Helmed by Puppeteer legends Jim Henson and Frank Oz ("The Muppets Show"), the film takes its viewer on a visually stunning and enthralling adventure to the land of Thra where we meet the elf-like Geiflings, gentle beings known as Mystics and lizard-like bird monsters called Skeksis. It's all even more dreamlike than you'd think - a truly fun journey that is a bittersweet reminder of how inventive child films used to be 👍
