A few weeks ago I took a look at Jim Henson’s Labyrinth and was pleasantly surprised to see how well the film stood up after all these years. Four years earlier, Henson and co released The Dark Crystal, a sprawling fantasy film with incredibly darker overtones than Labyrinth.

The plot of The Dark Crystal is rather involved, but is essentially a classic good vs. evil tale. The evil Skeksis, a race of large bipedal bird like creatures, have annihilated the planet Thra and killed off almost all of the peace loving Gelflings. But the Gelflings have been presented with one final opportunity that may, or may finally eradicate the evil creatures.
