I like a lot of the cast but; those pics, as someone totally unfamiliar with Dark Crystal..

@Nebula - The first film is a Jim Henson classic. All puppets.

pclark - 12/17/2018, 9:03 AM

@Nebula - Watch the original movie, then get back to us. It is great fun, and beautifully designed. Search for Brian Froud Dark Crystal. The art is absolutely amazing.

The puppets faces seem to have been based on the actors playing them... or am I seeing things? Anyway, they look adorable!

In gonna keep it real with you guys I have no idea what this is. Can someone explain it?

@StarlordsDad - In the 80’s Jim Henson did a full-on fantasy movie using all creature-effects puppets and no humans on screen... the heroes were elf-like creatures called Gelflings, and the villains were vulture like Skeksis. Netflix is doing a sequel:
