Hmm.. No no.. Don’t see The World of the Dark Crystal on my list until Matt gets his 50 dollars.

Mike, I think I’m clear as to your relationship with The Dark Crystal, crystal clear.

Sadly I do not have The World of the Dark Crystal, but hopefully someone will opt to purchase it for me around my birthday or Christmas this year. Let’s hope.

Incidently, my girlfriend gave my the DC DVD and The World of the Dark Crystal for Christmas. Extrapolate my relationship with the movie from that

Anton: The Secret of Nimh is a favorite movie of mine as well. I plan on revisiting that movie soon with a post, so be on the lookout for it. It might even include a surprise or two, but nothing set in stone since I'm still working out the details.

Fantastic post — I always loved that movie.

One of my other top-top-top favorites (there are several) is *The Secret of Nimh*

A friend of mine lent me a video copy of The Dark Crystal some years ago. Now, all these fantasy stories a la LOTR have never really been exactly my cup of tea, however I can appreciate good work when I see it, and that’s something TDC features aplenty. It is almost impossible to believe this film was done using nothing but old-fashioned puppetry. The amount of work and craft put into it is amazing, specially considering none of the CGI technology we take for granted today existed at that time.

Thanks for refreshing my memories man.

I remember this film too, great stuff.

I think I also had a big book with all the characters and stuff in it. Will try and dig it out next time I head back to my fokes!

Thanks for the blast from the past.

John: Thanks man. It's good to hear someone else has heard of, or enjoyed the Dark Crystal like I have. Believe or not I've been writing this particular post for about 2 months now and the gap between writing and posting it was due to my research and trying to piece it together. As for CSS Reboot, the deadline is May 1st but I'm sure I'll be finished way before then. However, it's a nice personal challenge.
