Ugh.

(32,639 posts)2. It's based on this awesome movie from 1982 - The Dark Crystal
The Dark Crystal - a live-action (not animated) family picture in which the entire cast is Jim Henson Muppet-puppets, or characters in puppet-outfits. An awesome story with a happy ending, but perhaps a little too scary for kids younger than 9 or 10.
I remember that my 12-year old son loved it when the movie came out, but it's not shown on TV too often. Must have something to do with the rights I guess. Jim Henson died over 20 years ago, and his son is making the Henson productions now.

(28,394 posts)3. Thanks.
I kind of remember that. I associate Jim Henson with much sweeter characters, I guess.
