The Dark Crystal
My First Film Fest 2016

“Another world, another time, in the age of wonder…” Jim Henson and Frank Oz’s beloved 1982 film is a transporting fantasy—trailblazing in its puppet craftsmanship, and as timeless as a Brothers Grimm fable. After a mysterious crystal is damaged on the planet Thra, two races form: one, the gentle Mystics; the other, an evil race of grotesque, reptilian Skeksis, who draw power from the broken, dark crystal and spread chaos across the once-peaceful land. All hope rests on Jen, an orphan raised by the Mystics who must find the crystal’s missing shard in order to restore balance to the universe.
