its very col, its Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean that worked on Sandman and other adult fantasies, at Vertigo comics...its like nothing out there..Dark Crystal is cool in your elfs and goblin kind of way..this creates anentirely new mythology and cosmology..

I'll probably get it to check it out. I keep watching muppets season 1... it's a pretty lame show mostly with a few good parts. But labyrinth/dark crystal/never ending story are some of my favorite movies and their puppetyness has a surreal realness quality computer animation doesn't really have. I think they sang that same song in one of these episodes though.

That's one of those things I should check out simply for the nostalgia if nothing else. I already used up most of the nes game nostalgia (tmnt 1 being the most potent for me). It brings back broken fragments of ancient memories and general feelings right into the present, pieces of which are still perfectly preserved.

you make so much sense. I'm a nostalgia seeker. On a nice day I'll go outside and sometimes I'll catch a scent in the air that takes me to when I was 4. And I'll remember that entire day. I love the smell of mouldy carpets. It brings me back to when me and my friend had a snes in his shed and played junglebook and super metroid.

I only liked the track close to you. I remember that scene. Only good part of the shit green screen film. Could have been a good film, if made with actual sets, and prosthetics. I can't stand this fake cgi shit, ruins it for me.

not a big CGI fan myself but the medium fitted Dave MeKeans sense of design and aesthetics perfectly, this cut up collage with paint style is something he has perfected a long time ago and it was thrilling seeing his painting/artwork come to life here...as far as CGI is concerned, it sucks at imitating life or concepts that have been with us for ages(ghouls ghosts goblins vampires, fairies, werewovlves etc) and have been recreated rather beautifully with animatronics and other lifelike techniques (i.e things that actually register on film) but here when creating entrely new lifeforms that have little or no anthropomorphic qualites...it was perfect..

Saw it and mostly thought it sucked. Lots of boring dialogue and the whole thing has like a big bloated complex made by a committee feel (like pretty much every videogame or thing produced today (including flash 8).
