It's been 30 years since Muppet masters Jim Henson and Frank Oz weaved their magic in this wonderful fantasy tale for children and adults alike.

On another planet in the distant past, a Gelfling embarks on a quest to find the missing shard of a magical crystal, and so restore order to his world. 1000 years ago the mysterious Dark Crystal was damaged and an age of chaos has began! The evil race of birdlike lizards, the Skeksis, rule the planet with an iron claw. Orphan Jen, raised by a race of the peace-loving wizards called the Mystics, embarks on the quest to find the missing shard of the Dark Crystal which gives the Skesis their power and restore the balance of the universe.
