The Dark Crystal- Jim Henson Movie

[Kimmifunn]

Does anyone remember this movie? I was 6 years old and this and this movie and Splash were the only movies I'd watch.

Well they are making a sequel. And I couldn't be more excited. See below...

The Jim Henson Company has announced that Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Samurai Jack and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, will direct a sequel to the 1982 fantasy puppet film, The Dark Crystal. The second chapter, titled Power of the Dark Crystal, will take place hundreds of years after the original, following a mysterious girl made of fire who steals a shard of the crystal, hoping to use it to re-ignite the dying sun. I don't know how they're planning on showing this film takes place hundreds of years after the first, but I'd recommend talking to Keith Richards, who's done a stellar job of appearing hundreds of years older.

But you know who's not looking older? That hot female Muppet from the first Dark Crystal. She's still looking like Gwyneth Paltrow hybrid with a cat, which it turns out is exactly what I go for.

I don't remember this movie, but it sounds like the kind of fantasy i love. will have to find the old one - is it good for little kids, or older kids/adults?

I saw it at the theater. I think I was 8. I've seen it once since then. It was very good.

I read an article yesterday in Wired about Jim's son and how he's doing all digital with actors as the source for cgi characters. I expect good stuff from them in years to come.

I would definitely screen it before the little one watches it. The characters are a little freaky. It scare me more now that it did when I was little. You have to watch it though. It was my favorite movie!

Is that the movie where the sorcerer/wtich has a glass eye and takes it out? If so, I remember. If not, it will drive me crazy all afternoon.

And, Splash used to be the only movie my brother and I would ever rent...That is funny!
