Dark Crystal is a classic fairy tale made filmed in 1982 and was created by Jim Henson. This film starts out by explaining why there are Mystics and Skekes. They where once whole then split apart. The Mystics are good,and the Skekes are evil.

The Skekes then kill most of the Gelfinings because of what is said in the prophecy. However the Skekes are mistaken because there are two Gelfinings left. A boy and a girl. The boy Gelfining, Jen, was raised by the Mystics. The girl Gelfining, Kira, was raised by the Pod people.

This movie is so imaginative. The characters and creatures are great. Besides the Mystics, Skekes, and the Gefinlings, there is a character named Augora. She is like a sorceress. She lives in what looks like a plantaterium. She gives the crystal shard to Jen to help him on his quest before she is captured by the skekes army of creatures.

Kira's pet Fizgig is so funny. He looks like a cute little fur ball, but he does not act as cute as he looks. Kira also has horse like creatures that her and Jen ride for a while that look quite unsual also. That is when you find out that Kira has wings and that the boy Gelfinings don't.

The Skekes do everything in there power to keep the propechy from coming true with there army of creatures who resemble crabs and their bat spies. They know that the three moons will aline and that the life they know will change because of a Gelfining.

I will let you watch the movie to find out what happens. I recommends this to people of all ages. It is a great film that has become a family fairy tale classic.
