## Description

Gelflings attempt to save the world from evil in this elaborate fantasy from directors Jim Henson and Frank Oz.

Review: Fantastic Re-master of a Classic! - I haven’t seen this film since my girls were kids. I remember it being ahead of it’s time for effects and not having human actors. But, since being redone in 4K the whole film just pops in color and detail. Sound is excellent thanks to Dolby Atmos. If you were a fan then you’ll marvel over how this film stands up to time over 40+ years. Highly recommend for old and new viewers. Jim Henson was a true master of puppetry and muppetry.
Review: A Mature Classic Is Still Just As Magical As Ever (A Must Buy) - Jim Henson's magnum opus is glorious in this fully-restored, high-def Blu-Ray Anniversary Edition. Packaged as a beautiful behind-the-scenes artbook and accompanied by hours of in-depth, fascinating, retrospective Special Features, "The Dark Crystal" is a must-buy for virtually every household. Even after all these years, this imaginative and provocative picture still holds up as one of the genre's greatest works. Intelligent, dark, thought-provoking, delightful, and deeply satisfying (and a brilliant companion to the stellar Netflix series), don't miss out on getting Henson's best work in it's best form. Cannot Recommend Highly Enough, Get It Now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The film’s animatronics feature stunning detail and exceptional use of shading and lighting.
*by M***Z on July 19, 2025*

The Dark Crystal marks a pivotal moment in cinematic history as the first directorial collaboration between Jim Henson and Frank Oz. It is also one of the earliest films to showcase the complex use of puppetry and sophisticated electronic animatronics, establishing a visual legacy that would influence generations of fantasy storytelling. Set in the mystical world of Thra, the story follows Jen and Kira—two Gelflings chosen to restore balance by reuniting the fragments of a shattered crystal and defeating the dark forces that threaten their realm. The quest weaves themes of destiny, courage, and harmony into a richly crafted tale that resonates across age groups. 🔍 Personal Impression: Visually, this film is a triumph of practical effects. The 4K restoration, especially, reveals stunning detail—close-up shots capture individual strands of hair and nuanced facial textures with remarkable realism. The color grading in this version is particularly impressive, offering smooth tonal transitions and vibrant hues that weren’t as prominent in earlier releases. For collectors and fans of animatronic artistry, this edition is a gem—preserving the handcrafted elegance that CG simply can’t replicate. 🧙‍♀️ A must-own for those who admire the intersection of analog craftsmanship and timeless storytelling. The Dark Crystal is not merely watched—it’s experienced.
