People talk about how stuff from the 80s and 90s was nightmare fuel, or too uncanny to be charming, or just plain strange. I contend that there was more creativity in the 80s and 90s and we were seeing performance artists and craftspeople at their absolute peak. When I look at something like Dark Crystal and compare it with something like the latest sterile CGI pixar or dreamworks movies, I feel sad.
I fear for the day Hollywood decides to remake Labyrinth. Amazing movie with some of the greatest puppetry ever. Today it would probably be a 3D CGI crapfest. Also who could ever replace Bowie? Somehow I think they’d get Will Smith in there.
I don’t know, they did a solid with the Dark Crystal prequel.
Fun note: we bought a dragon puppet at renfair from a guy who made puppets for Jim Henson’s son.
We also have the caterpillar and Ludo from Labyrinth on our oddities shelf. Oh, and I named our dog Fizzgig because that’s what he looked like as a pup: all mouthface no body.

1000% they would cast Will Smith.

Through adult eyes, absolutely.
As a child, fuck the Skeksis.
Artax died from sadness.
It’s kids movie, let’s start it out on a happy note, eh?
Nah, horse dies of sad right off the bat.
Dream a dream
Coreys ASSEMBLE!
