Yes. Jim Henson could miraculously come back to life.Really, for fans of the original, does it get better than this?
If it turns out to be any good, it'll be great to see a new, old fashioned puppet film again. CGI is getting so unimpressive.
Always?...and no matter how good the graphics the human mind will always be able to differentiate between what's real and what's not.
The guys who made Paranorman made Coraline and Boxtrolls as well, they really are geniuses at stop motion. These puppets in Lessons Learned are nicely designed, but it looks (and sounds) pretty cheap otherwise. Give them a reasonable budget, someone.
According to Wikipedia, Boxtrolls is stop-motion animation - not CGI. Maybe there are CGI elements in there, woven in among the stop-motion frames.Hang on, I thought Boxtrolls - which is fantastic, incidentally - was CGI. Beautifully textured, yes, but still CGI. Or was the gag in the credits a double-bluff?

I never liked Labyrinth, it was like a pg version of A Company Of Wolves for me that I still feel is a vastly superior film. I love/loved anything from Jim Henson though, I saw Dark Crystal at the cinema and although I'm not into elves and fantasy type films I really enjoyed it for the puppets and the art work that went into it. I couldn't tell you what the story line was though (boy meets girl, boy rescues girl from baddies as far as I can remember), I think they were just having fun showing weird things on screen.I watched these (Dark Crystal and Labyrinth) as kids, and again recently, and while I liked them as a kid, I cannot for the life of me figure out as an adult what is so good about them...
...it was better when I was of my face on morphine.
Hell yes and I did not know about this but I would of still preferred a movie.Back for a Netflix series:
We've known for a while that Netflix was cooking up a new series based within the world of The Dark Crystal, the 1982 Jim Henson classic that one uncle of yours is still super into at the age of 43, but until today we haven't been sure who might be voicing the extensive cast of puppets that make up the show.
Netflix just shot over a press release announcing that cast, and good lord - they've got everyone in here. Check out this murderer's row of talent:
"Leading the voice cast are Taron Egerton (Kingsman), Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch), and Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones), as Rian, Brea and Deet, three Gelfling heroes.
Judging by that cast, they're going for Game of Dark Crystal Thrones...
It's a shame it's a Netflix exclusive because it's unlikely it's going get a release on blue ray.
But the big movies studio pushing for streaming by trying too kill off physical media and people just want things in an instant and they don't care about having good picture and sound but go and buy 4K TVs and streaming will never be as good a blue ray/4K uhd disk and then there's this crap https://www.slashfilm.com/digital-movies-purchases/Not true: collectors can pick up stuff like Daredevil and Black Mirror on Blu-ray, so there's every chance it could be.
