The Dark Crystal (17-Dec-1982)

Directors: Jim Henson; Frank Oz

Writers: David Odell; Jim Henson

Music by: Trevor Jones

Producers: Jim Henson; Gary Kurtz

Keywords: Juvenile/Fantasy, Muppet

It is nearly a thousand years since the dark crystal was cracked and a shard of it lost, and evil rules the world in shadows. Jen, a Gelfling, embarks on a mission to reunite the crystal with its lost shard; failure means evil will rule forever. Dark, elegant film, Tolkienesque and strangely unsettling. Received a Hugo nomination for Best Dramatic Presentation.
