The Dark Crystal is a 1982 dark fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. It stars the voices of Stephen Garlick, Lisa Maxwell, Billie Whitelaw, Percy Edwards, and Barry Dennen.
The plot revolves around Jen and Kira, two Gelflings on a quest to restore balance to the world of Thra and overthrow the evil, ruling Skeksis by restoring a powerful broken Crystal.
If you haven’t watched the Netflix series, it is also pretty great. The whole series is a master class in world building.
Oh man, the minute it was out I was all over that. I agree. It’s amazing, I was astounded when it wasn’t renewed.
Actually the only reason I haven’t made a community for the dark Crystal yet is because I made the animorphs community first haha.
I’m doing a complete reread, but who knows, dark Crystal could easily be the next community I start.
I’m in love with the aesthetic, characters and pretty much all of the stories
