Скачать или смотреть The Dark Crystal Almost Never Was - STRING THEORY CINEMA: Ep 11

Step into The Dark Crystal from Brewster’s Basement, where Brewster and the ever-haughty Sharon dive deep into Jim Henson and Frank Oz’s visionary fantasy. Discover what makes this 1982 classic unlike any other—an entire world with no humans, designed by Brian Froud and rich in lore, creatures, and symbolism. We explore the film’s central duality, the unity of Skeksis and Mystics, and the fascinating fact that much of the original cut had no English dialogue—until audiences demanded a re-dub that matched the already-filmed puppet mouth movements. Expect quirky banter, hidden trivia, and insights into a film that’s truly greater than the sum of its shattered parts.
