“Another world, in another time, in the Age of Miracles, Jen and Kira, the sole survivors of the Gelfing race, go in search of a giant crystal shard damaged by a planetary concussion that gives power and strength to the mystics, the sage. and peaceful people. Then they must face the terrifying and brutal Skeks who enslave them…“
The Dark Crystal, winner of the 1983 Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film, has been mesmerizing us for 40 years with its distinct and iconic visual world of another time – absolutely nostalgic!
With Dark Crystal, the creators of The Muppet Show have demonstrated their unparalleled expertise in puppet animation. So when the movie came out, the animatronics used on set were considered groundbreaking—most creatures like the Gelfling require about four puppets to fully manipulate.
This achievement is thanks to the artist of the main concept: fantasy illustrator Brian Froude, known for his outstanding drawings of fairies and gnomes. He would work with Jim Henson again on his next project: the 1986 film Labyrinth.
Promoted as a family film, Dark Crystal turned out to be darker than expected, however, to mostly mixed reviews. However, at the same time, it was praised for its narrative, aesthetics and characters, earning it a BAFTA nomination for its visuals. But Dark Crystal is still one of those films that has been re-evaluated over time and that we now have a true cult following.
