70mm Blowup with Magnetic Sound from Universal

A young Gelfling named Jen sets out to restore order to his planet by recovering a glass shard from the broken and powerful Dark Crystal. A delightfully creepy collaboration between Jim Henson and Frank Oz, THE DARK CRYSTAL presents a darker side of the muppets and features some of the best animatronics of the ’80s (which still hold up beautifully today). Variety noted the film was a welcome lesson in mortality for parents and children alike, and “the outstanding character is the Aughra, an ancient one-eyed harridan of an oracle who somehow reminds one of a truly blowsy Shelley Winters.”
