To prevent the evil Skeksis from ruling over the world, a young gelfling named Jen must race against time to heal a powerful crystal. This original and visionary fantasy epic combines Brian Froud’s designs with first-rate puppetry and ground-breaking animatronic technology – both developed and perfected by Jim Henson and his Creature Shop.
