Summary: Its what the world needs now, imagination and happiness!
Review: I love this video. I first saw it when it first came out, this is the type of movie, that I have my children sit down and watch. I love fantasy and reality mixed into one. Because that is what real life is about, the good and the bad. I have and always will recommend this video to all and anyone I know that has children or that has a good and vivid imagination. This I can watch anytime. I will always feel happy and refreshed knowing I'm not the only one with a vivd imagination and a thirst for the truth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "The Dark Crystal" has a relevent message for all ages.
Review: This film is one of the most fondly remembered of my childhood and now that I'm older it's clear to me that it is just a mystical version of real life. There are good people full of hope and essence who have positive defined goals and there are evil soul suckers (like the Skekses) who will try to destroy the purely good (like Gelflings). This is a wonderful film for parents to watch with their children, and it will be entertaining to all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Classic from my youth
Review: My sister and I watched this movie at least once a month until I was 15. It is a classic fantasy movie and belongs in anyones collection alongside The Secret of Nimh, The Last Unicorn, The Hobbit, and Labrynth. A definate must own for parents

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WICKED MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is one of my most favorite mvies of all time. I'v watched it about oh, 100000000000000 times ever sence I was 3 years old, and I still watch it a lot. It's too bad Jim Hensen died, he was the greatest. Everybody buy this movie right here right now. You wont be sorry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Henson filmever
Review: This is one of those movies that you can see over and over again, and every time you see it you realise something different. This is a must see movie. I'm pretty sure that the 5th Element used a lot of the Dark Crystal, you be the judge.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jim Henson was the greatest creator
Review: This movie is a masterpiece of the one of the most creative minds ever, buy it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Henson film
Review: The dark crystal is by far the best Henson film. There has been great films by Henson but this tops them all. I loved this as a child and still do. I just wish They could make a puppet movie once again instead Movies like muppets in Space. But again Henson's not around anymore and a man comes like that once in a life time

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dark Crystal is immersive imagination.
Review: Dark Crystal is one of the earliest movies I saw in my childhood, and recently (about a year ago, I saw it again). I think that this movie and The Secret of Nim, and Watership Down were the three movies that shaped my childhood. What will most amazed you about the Dark Crystal is that unlike ordinary puppetry the movie actually turns the entire imaginary world into a puppet. If you watch you will see tiny things happening in the background just to add that extra realism.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The score makes this film! One of the best scores ever!
Review: This movie honestly didn't do much for me at any age, although the still animation and puppet work is still a sight to behold today. Dark, grim, and downright depressing...was ever any daylight in this film? What totally sets this thing to a level that it could not have possibly reached otherwise is Trevor Jones's magnificent score. A lot of us are going to buy this DVD just because of the isolated score. (It may be that way for a lot of these DVD's.) Jones's score is one of the best of the past twenty years or so, easily: Y'know, one of those awesome early 80's scores. If nothing else, just get this thing for the music.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: May scare the crap out of your children...
Review: When I was 8 years old I saw a magazine promoting "The Dark Crystal" and the pictures TERRIFIED me. The Skeksis scared me. The Elders scared me. Even the Podlings and the Elves scared me. I think the only creature in the whole picture that didn't frighten me was Fizzgig. When it came out, my parents very much wanted to see it, but I definitely did not. It actually came down to me hiding in my tree house for hours the day we were supposed to see it. Unfortunately, they found me. We went, but all I can remember of the experience is abject terror. I covered my eyes for a lot of the film, I think. But I got through it and grew up a healthy, normal person. Now I enjoy Tolkien and that brand of storytelling (I think Henson's "The Storyteller" was one of the best shows ever to grace TV), but for some reason "The Dark Crystal" still makes me flinch a bit. I like the movie. I really do. I think it's great. I'd like to buy this DVD but I'm afraid it might give me a complex even having it in the house. Maybe I should seek help...Just keep all of this in mind when deciding whether or not to show it to your kids.
