The Dark Crystal

Ewie

From the masters of puppeteering, Jim Henson and Frank Oz once again blow my mind with mystical design and choreography. If 'The Muppets' is funny, witty, quick-paced, and well designed then this is all that but so much more. The voices actors and crew tie up so many things, from the magical music and wonderous visuals to the haunting story and eerie characters. My emotions were tugged on like a puppet with strings. Just imagine 'Star Wars' but puppets. I became so heavily involved in the lore and it was barely explained but it just makes it even more memorable. A timeless gem and Fizzgig.

I don’t know why it took me until my late 20’s to watch because I probably would have loved this as a kid. Very refreshing to go back and see the difference practical creature/fantasy design and effects make even in a movie from the 80s. Need more of that nowadays.

comfort movie for me

Some of the best set design I have seen in a movie ever omg, and the puppetry?? Utterly amazing
