Ratings and reviews

I'm usually more open to these sorts of movies but not so open my brain falls out...I don't think I got the story plot very well and I was not a fan of the art direction, but others may understand (or simply enjoy) this more then I did.

Love it. I had a cat that i named Fizzgig. Lol 😂 must say though, as excited as I was for that they were making a new series Dark Crystal, age of resistance, I've watched the first episode and it's not quite what i expected. Gelflings with pommie accents is very unfamiliar and just a tad bit Games of thrones with puppetsish

Love it. I already watched the series and got scared for life. Can't wait for the remake!
