Plot
"...A one of a kind imaginative marvel." -The Washington Post

An all-Muppet fantasy feature about a Dark Crystal that maintains equilibrium in a mythical kingdom. When the Crystal is broken, the evil Skeksis take over, killing off the good-guy Gelfings and enslaving everyone else. Two of the Gelfings have survived: Jen was raised by all-knowing Mystics, while Kira grew up amongst the swamp-dwelling Podlings. Jen and Kira join forces to "heal" the precious Dark Crystal and restore order to their world.
