Are Jen and Kira humans in "The Dark Crystal"?
No. Jen and Kira are Gelflings living on the fantasy world of Thra, where the Skeksis rule from the Castle of the Crystal.
Was "The Dark Crystal" made with puppets instead of actors in costumes?
Yes. Jim Henson and Frank Oz directed the 1982 film using elaborate puppetry and animatronic creature work rather than human leads.
How does "The Dark Crystal" connect to "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance"?
The Netflix series "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" is a prequel to the 1982 film. It returns to Thra before Jen and Kira's quest and expands the world of Gelfling clans and Skeksis politics.
Is "The Dark Crystal" too scary for young kids?
It can be, depending on the child. The Skeksis, the draining of essence, and the dark 1982 creature design are more intense than many later family fantasy films.
