Return to the world of Thra, where three Gelfling discover the horrifying secret behind the Skeksis' power, and set out to ignite the fires of rebellion and save their world.
Jim Henson's other beloved puppet franchise just returned as a stunningly intricate 10-part prequel. On this IMDbrief, we explore the ever-expanding world of the Dark Crystal.
Another world, another time, another age. The Crystal of Truth, heart of the planet Thra, is controlled by the cruel and cunning Skeksis who use its power to bend the planet's will and subjugate The Gelfling: the gentle and kind creatures who will start the Age of Resistance and thwart their masters' schemes.Written by

Puppeteer Helena Smee had to apply fresh slime to skekLach in-between takes, and often evoked the disgust of the rest of the crew by getting it accidentally smeared in her hair or dress. See more »
To start the negative reviews are by people who obviously didn't see the movie, don't appreciate old school puppetry of Jim Henson and more likely skeksis. This is my childhood and even though now I'm in my 30s I'm still just as creeped out by the skeksis and their voices. The puppeteers are awesome and gives a true throwback and keeps Jim Henson very much alive for the show. I love it.
