The Dark Crystal (1982)”,”photo-description”:”

Imagine creating a whole world with an intricate mythology and tons of different types of characters all with visually creative designs, and only visiting it once. That’s what happened, for a while at least, with The Dark Crystal, the legendary Jim Henson and Frank Oz collaboration that introduced audiences to the planet Thra and all its spooky little critters. With a darker tone and more complicated story than audiences expected from a movie starring puppets, The Dark Crystal was a tough sell, but performed better than expected at the box office and quickly became a cult classic. Its aesthetics alone are so well known and easily recognized that a number of sequel and prequel novels and comics were released years later (including a series of books based on the scrapped sequel plans), and a prequel show ran for one season on Netflix in 2019.
