Don't know if we have any fans of the original here, but I'm a diehard. It's one of those films, like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Tron, and Clash of the Titans, that helped shape my childhood interests.
A mesh of puppetry/CGI/animatronics in 3-D. Sounds ambitious. [/i]

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

AND for the Nintendo. Where it was a kick ass game.
Anyway, I liked Dark Crystal as a kid as well. To Yaya's list, I would add Labyrinth and The Last Starfighter in terms of influential 80s movies.
However, if the past decade has taught us ANYTHING, it's that unless it has the words "Directed by Christopher Nolan" in it, be highly dubious of remakes/reimaginings living up to the bar set by the old one.

Not really a remake, but a sequel, but yeah, it probably will suck. I hope they recognize the charm of the first in large part was due to the puppetry.Impactor returns 2.0 wrote:

But if it's any consolation, it's a Henson production with Brian Froud back, who was a creator of the first one.
Aye. Excellent movies. And I will add another. The Neverending Story. Watched this with my nephew the other day and he loved it.To Yaya's list, I would add Labyrinth and The Last Starfighter in terms of influential 80s movies.

And because we're slaves to nostalgia.
Nothing beats childhood imagination. There simply are no limits. As adults, we're anchored down by reason and experience. Which sucks.
