My best Dark Crystal memory was watching it for the first time on tv in my aunts cabin in the northern Arizona woods in 1997. The cabin was solar powered, so the picture faded as the sun set.

LaFave Bros Then you will love the Netflix Prequel

I was enthralled by this movie when I was but a child in the 80's. My grandparents had two VCRs and recorded everything they rented. So I had multiple viewings. It scarred me for life in a great way. I will forever adore it. I cannot wait for the new series. HURRY UP NETFLIX AND CO.

The Chamberlain skeksis' whimper was the best part. It needed that comic relief.

I loved and was scared of the Dark Crystal as a kid. Great film.

In 1982, I was a Senior in HS. I saw the film by myself, b/c none of my friends of family were fans of the genre. I loved it.

Just finished watching the series, and it was amazing. I remember when I and my sister first saw the movie. We were in elementary school and my older cousins put it on the T.V. My sister was scared of it at first but I INSTANTLY fell in love. This was about 7-8 years ago, and even though it was made for an entirely different generation of kids my sister and I were still able to make it one of our favorite childhood memories. Watching the series put the movie in a whole new light and it was most certainly one of the most advanced movies in its time.

I truly loved the Brian Froud influence on the film. This helped make the artistic elements of the story embellish such a magical world!

Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal are still my favorites.

Isabeau Wolf watch the prequel on Netflix

I remember seeing the documentary on how it as made back around 88 or 89. I remember the scene where they came up with the land striders. One of the puppeteer walked in on stilts one day, and it gave jim henson an idea for a tall long legged puppet. It was very interesting how they learned to walk on all four while on stilts. sure they had safety harness' on but for the most part they were walking around on their own. The harness only caught them if they fell.

The Power of the Dark Crystal comic is well worth a look into.

Jim Henson was so far ahead if his time!

Saw this in the theatres when I was a child. I was scared by some of the scenes, but loved it. It's one of the classics that I will be showing my daughter.

A beautiful film, full of darkness, shadows, brightness and light. I loved it as a young adult. I understand more as a maturing adult, and I continue to appreciate more and more the generous genius of Jim Henson. Suffice it to say, I love this film.

I remember seeing a preview trailer for The DC in a theater in Austin, TX in '82 - when I heard that soundtrack I knew I had to see it, loved it ever since.

Dont forget about the prequel books that J. M. Lee wrote/is writing

I always thought the Gelflings were beautiful and Fizzgig was cute and a bit wild.

I remember my mother taking me to see this back in New Jersey when it first came out. I thought it to be very ahead of its time and overwhelming for such a young person at my age. Overwhelming in a good sense. :-)

Wow! Thank you for making this video! This movie was released when I was 6 years old and it's had an enduring appeal to me ever since. I hope that if a new Dark Crystal movie (or netflix series) is made that it will honor the original.

I was there as a child too! The Power Of The Dark Crystal script given to Archaia comics is nostalgia for me in that if feels like TDC! It begins 1000 years after the movie! It's about a world within Thra that is dying and only the shard from the Crystal can save it! An innocent girl named Thurma is sent by her people to retrieve it but is emotionally conflicted about the hell she would release and is also met with resistance! Jen and Kira are still living. That's all I'm saying..

I was born the same year the Dark Crystal came out, it was my favorite move as a child , and it remains my favorite movie of all time.

This needs too be its own world at universal !

m c Since it is a Henson film Disney would own the rights to it now.

I remember watching this in the theater as a kid. While i was always more into sci-fi than fantasy i really enjoyed this then and now.

This is the second movie I can remember seeing when I was very young, the first was E.T. This started my love of everything fantasy. I was amazed....nothing looked like anything from our world, and the characters and creatures were so well done. It will forever live in my top ten movies.

I remember going to see TDC at my best friends birthday outing. Very good memories

I loved this movie.. and remember watching it as a child

Till this day can remember a more wonderful and fantastic movie

I remember watching it on VHS growing up during the early 2000's.

The mother of my son showed me this movie. We don't agree on a lot of things but we agree on how good that movie is.

The movie is constantly being re-released on video. It's had a VHS release, multiple DVD releases including a special edition, and a BR release. There's actually two versions of the film, one being the original UK version and the other the US release. The US release is a conversion which runs a slight bit faster than the UK version and thus has a shorter run time. The US version is also brightened up a bit but it causes the colors to appear a little washed out. The ending titles of the two versions are the only noticeable difference, with one showing a blurry image of the Crystal of Light and the other showing a sketch of Aughra.

I don't remember it's name but seeing that little dog thing bark with it's mouth wide open makes me laugh so hard I hurt myself every time.

Brilliant gorgeous and still relevant today!!

I watched The Dark Crystal yesterday after watching “The Dark Crystal: age of resistance” twice, so good, I don’t understand why people said they didn’t understand the movie or why it was too “scary.”

One of my all time favorites a true Classic!

Surprised that you say it got a lukewarm reception. The kids my age (11 at the time) saw it in '82 many times in the theater and couldn't get enough of it.

I was around 6 when I first saw it. I thought it was a little scary (especially the scene in the beginning with the Emperor . To help me not be so scared and knowing that I loved Sesame Street, my sisters told me that Big Bird and his family were playing the Skeksis and that Snuffy and his family were playing the Garthim. Found out they were lying when all the Garthim fell apart at the end.

First time I seen The Dark Crystal was my 6th grade yr.. mid 80's. I later bought the movie to share with my kids. Unfortunately, they didn't share the same enthusiasm as I did. I am, however, excited about the upcoming Netfix shows!!

i loved this movie growing up. Born 1990.

awesome friend! I was born 1972 and loved it growing up too!

Amazing movie.

I've loved this movie since it first came out and own a copy that I watch at least yearly. Aughra is my favorite. She's my inner dark side. I've even named my cats from characters.

Great movie got it on dvd not to long ago

I saw the movie in theaters when I was young. I used to see The Muppets on Saturday night live. I've always been intrigued by the creepy muppets.

I loved the whole movie

I love it...I love color.

I remember seeing The Dark Crystal with my mom and dad at a theater downtown known as The Orpheum. I can't tell you how much I loved that place! They don't show movies anymore :( At that time I also read the novel adaptation which, if not the first book I ever read was among them! I had a version of the Marvel adaptation too! Currently I'm reading The Power Of The Dark Crystal and loving it! They could still make the story into a film if they wanted (I don't think many will read it)! Beneath The Dark Crystal begins soon as well! Oh, then there's the upcoming Netflix series! xD

4:01 That's why locking kids in dark closets while blaring the Chamberlain's MMMMMMs at them is not child abuse. That is sarcasm. Don't lock kids in closets. Just don't.

3:28 Nope That's would be Bill and coco.

i loved this movie and had a cat that had a weird raspy voice so i named him fizzgig

Still wish we could have gotten the sequel on film

Why is this woman standing here reading a script? Why not just show the images in full size and, if we must, we can hear the script read as a voiceover. It's awkward seeing a person stand there as if it is they bringing you their thoughts but instead they are just reading something.

Sorry but I came here to watch and learn stuff about TDC.. so we don’t need you taking up 75% of the screen for heavens sake. You should be presenting from the small box with the dark crystal visuals taking up the majority of the screen. So annoying and egocentric.

Am I watching the wrong video? I read the comments and they are not syncing with this video. Maybe just of poorly raised/ poorly educated woman hating trolls who need to leave their mothers basements.
