Great news for lovers of Jim Henson in the 70th year of The Jim Henson Company, and his classic 1982 fantasy adventure The Dark Crystal, as this marvel of puppetry is heading back to theaters in North America over the weekend of 12th and 13th October. Packed with incredible talent, many of whom went on to work on 1983’s Return of the Jedi, the chance to see this beautifully crafted classic is one not to miss.
Another world, another time… in the age of Wonder. From genius filmmaker Jim Henson comes The Dark Crystal, a masterful live-action fantasy starring some of the most imaginative creatures ever put on film. Many years ago, the mysterious Crystal was cracked and an age of chaos began, led by the evil race of Skeksis who rule over the land of Thra. Meanwhile, raised in solitude by a gentle race of creatures called the Mystics, the Gelfling orphan Jen is sent on a quest to find the missing shard that will heal the Crystal and restore balance to the universe. This special screening is part of The Jim Henson Company’s 70th anniversary celebration and features an introduction from Brian Henson, Jim Henson’s son and Chairman of the Board of The Jim Henson Company.
