What'a interesting to know about this is that there's actually a read along on this movie and Jen is voiced by Cam Clarke, yeah Leonardo from Ninja Turtles voices Jen in a read along. Seriously look it up, you'd be surprised.
I /love/ this movie! Back when Blockbuster was still a thing, The Dark Crystal was my favorite movie to rent! Along with other Jim Henson movies.(I love everything Jim Henson)
Definitely, the biggest problem w/the film is it's lead character, who doesn't have an interesting arc & it's pretty flat. This is a problem, since he's the audience's surrogate & is w/o throughout pretty much the entire journey.
What about "The Dark Crystal" novelization? Most novelizations are done AFTER most of the filming is done. This one was done WHILE filming was being done and Henson sent the writer extra scenes and elements that he could not put in the movie. In other words the closest thing to a directors cut you will ever get is the novelization.
+Jambareeqi just so you know I deleted the comment about why you dedicated this video to David Bowie instead doing a review of labyrinth to dedicate something to him when I found out you had already made a review of labyrinth and then in my notifications I saw your reply, just wanted to clear that out
