Mixing elements of Tolkien and fairy tales, Henson and Oz create a fantastic realm where an elf-like orphan must defeat the ruling Skeksis, hulking dragon-like beings. Using a mix of puppetry, marionettes, and more, The Dark Crystal captures a stunning world rarely equaled in any fantasy film, yet deeply rooted in universal myth. (93 mins., 35mm)
