Jim Henson is a name endeared by many for his creation of the Muppet characters, so for him to create his own movie universe is astounding. In a Tolkein like way, Henson creates an epic quest in another world in another time bursting at the seams with real imagination, busy with life and personality abound. You follow Jen, the Gelfling's quest to restore his world with only a shard and a flute, he'll have to find some friends, the real question is can he do it? That remains to be seen, as his journey won't be easy with the evil Skeksis looking through every nook and cranny of this world, who will stop at absolutely nothing to make sure that the prophecy Jen hopes to fulfill doesn't happen. The puppetry is magical in every way, fluid and full of expression, it's hard to believe that it's all puppetry and not one string or any method of the puppetry can be seen. You owe it to yourself to see this one of a kind masterpiece of fantasy! You'll want to return to this one again and again, for sure!
