#The Dark Crystal Movie 1982

[savage-kult-of-gorthaur]

FROM THE MINDS OF JIM HENSON & FRANK OZ -- "A TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT IN FANTASY ADVENTURE."

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1000x1554 -- Spotlight on a movie poster designs for the 1982 dark fantasy film "The Dark Crystal," directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. Artwork by Richard Hescox.

"This piece was painted by Richard Hescox who has had a prolific career as a film poster artist. You might know his work from films like "The Neverending Story," "Swamp Thing," the Video Dead, or the home video box art of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." I believe that this piece was commissioned very early on in the pre-production process as the design of the Skeksis is largely off-model (a rarity in most of the "Dark Crystal" promotional artwork), and the logo and taglines look to be earlier drafts."

The Dark Crystal, 1982

“Another World, Another Time... In the Age of Wonder. A thousand years ago, this land was green and good, until the Crystal cracked. For a single piece was lost; a shard of the Crystal. Then strife began, and two new races appeared: the cruel Skeksis... the gentle Mystics.”

If I had a nickel for every time E.T was a significant reason for a film struggling at the box office I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice-

FIZZGIG!

Fizzgig! | The Dark Crystal (1982) dir. Jim Henson & Frank Oz

[tideswept]

after finding out a lot of friends haven't seen movies I consider formative to childhood (I grew up in South America, so they definitely had international reach!) I'm curious to know just how many haven't seen some of these... uh, let's call them children's classics.

Due to the list of potentials being massive, I'll restrict this to the 1980s, and not include Disney animated movies i can't promise there won't be further polls

(feel free to sound off in tags the ones you haven't seen, if it's more than one!)
