In fact, adults can still find many aspects of this film disturbing, including scary characters, music, voices, and actions. This is probably high on the list of traumatizing children's movies! So parents be forewarned, this shouldn't be shown to children under age 8, or even those a bit older who scare easily. As a child this movie gave me horrible nightmares, as it did for many other people. However I personally always found the film difficult to enjoy. The plot is also solid, with lots of meaning and spirit. As many have said it is even more amazing to see it in comparison to today's CGI and advanced special effects, and appear superior. It is absolutely amazing what Henson managed to do with the muppets and the worlds he created. Together, Kira and Jen must find a way to restore the shard to the dark crystal, therefore creating balance in their world once more. On his journey Jen finds Kira, a female gelfling raised by "podlings", who also believed she was the last of her kind. Simultaneously, the leader of the skeksies and leader of the mystics die, and Jen goes on a quest to find the missing shard in the Dark Crystal. The skeksies are evil, bird/reptile like creatures that are the complete opposite of the mystics. He is the last of his kind because the "skeksies" have killed all the gelflings due to a prophesy that a gelfling will overthrow their reign.
Jen has has been raised by the "mystics" large, peaceful creatures that tell him he is the last of his kind. Then comes Jen, a "gelfling", a small creature with a sweet face and long hair. The Dark Crystal takes place in a fantasy land that has fallen out of balance and turned evil because "the dark crystal" has lost a shard. However I always have mixed feelings about this movie.
It truly is one of those movies that prove what a genius he was, and that his genius stretched past Kermit and Big Bird. The Dark Crystal is a fantastic film made by Jim Henson.
