On another planet in the distant past, a Gelfling embarks on a quest to find the missing shard of a magical crystal and restore order to his world, before the grotesque race of Skeksis find and use the crystal for evil.
Editor's Verdict
"The Dark Crystal is a high fantasy adventure film that exhibits no meaningful connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography. The detected 'Holiday Release' is merely a factor of when it premiered, not its content."
