## Description

Gelflings attempt to save the world from evil in this elaborate fantasy from directors Jim Henson and Frank Oz.

Review: Impressed & It's Remastered! - This review is for the boxed Collector Edition that includes the 2 disc Blue Ray + 4K + Crystal set. The product was double boxed, packed in foam, and wrapped in cellophane. It arrived in prestine condition, collector box is sturdy and includes all the extras mentioned in the description. Discs were firmly placed in it's box, nothing loose. Since I don't have a 4K yet, I played the Blue Ray disc and was GREATLY surprised that it has been remastered, crisp, clean along with the audio! It's as if it was made today in HD, I was super impressed! The bonus features are an added plus and I enjoyed learning the background, interviews, and everything that went into this unique production. Truly a work of art and a valued addition to my movie collection.
Review: The world lost a great genius in Jim Henson.... - I saw this movie when it was current in the theaters, having been a fan of Henson and company since the mid-sixties. Back then, they frequently made guest appearances on the Jack Paar Show, Ed Sullivan and then made the rounds to every OTHER talk and variety show you could name at the time. I knew that ANYTHING he and his organization would produce would be impressive, cerebral and unlike anything else in their field. I was right. This movie is pure magic! Henson and Frank Oz use a combination of finger and hand puppetry; their own creation, the "muppet", a combo of marionette and puppet, and body suits to create the characters of this film, a soupcon of elves; potato-like creatures that are as cute as bugs' ears; vulturous beings called Skeksis, long-nosed sloth-like characters called Mystics and Ogra, a cantankerous sorceress that helps the hero, Jen, return a crystal shard to the titular power source deep in the heart of Skeksis territory. Along his way to do this, he meets Kira, an adorable girl elf of his people, the Gelflings, that helps him survive a lot of the perils on his journey. One of the more horrific parts of this film is a scene where she and a few of the potato-like people, called Podlings, are tortured and drained of their life essence by the Skeksis so that the vulture-like monsters can stay invigorated. It seems the Gelflings were nearly wiped out by the Skeksis when an ancient prophecy revealed that a lone gelfling would seize power from them somehow. Both Jen and Kira were saved and raised, by the Mystics, in Jen's case, and the Podlings in Kira's. It isn't mentioned where Ogra comes from, but they must have been a DAMNED interesting race! Jen is that gelfling, but it is Kira that finally makes it possible, after all her hardship. The scene where Kira introduces Jen to her Podling friends is almost worth the price of the tape/DVD. Why must Jen return the shard? That's explained by the ending and I'm not going to spoil it for you here. Suffice it to say that though Jen is the supposed star of the movie, Kira steals the spotlight from him often, as does Ogra. The whole production will take you right back to the highest quality family special of the fifties, only this is done much better than any of them! The art direction is as good as "Legend", if not better. The puppetry is artistry at its best, setting new standards and bewitching both adult and childish eyes as does the set design, which words cannot describe in some cases. This movie is the perfect holiday family movie....the kind you used to go see or see on TV at Easter or Christmas back when Eisenhower was president. It's a forgotten masterpiece of family entertainment with depth, soul and entertaining staging. Get it and you will NOT be sorry!
