The Dark Crystal

(1982)Directed by Jim Henson, Frank Oz93 min · PGAdventure, Family, Fantasy
“Another world, another time... in the age of wonder.”

On the planet Thra, in a distant past, a cracked crystal has left the world out of balance and the vulture-like Skeksis in command of it. Jen, a Gelfling, sets out to find the missing shard before they can use the crystal for their own ends. Henson and Oz built every creature as a puppet, and Jen carries the quest on small shoulders, with only Kira (Kathryn Mullen) and Fizzgig beside him.
