Probably because I had already talked about that 1982 film (as well as about Brian Froud) in that very same thread: Put a picture of an strange place
;D
Man, so bummed that I didn't watch Dark Crystal as a kid. It feels like that kind of movie that only gets better with a touch of nostalgia. xD 80s fantasty/sci-fi adventure movies were really great though, like Neverending Story.
Will definately check out the art thread you linked
The last time I saw The Dark Crystal was probably somewhere in the mid-late 1990s, as an adult. I felt the plot to be a bit hollow. And even if it was the early 1980s, a faster pacing could have helped, too.
Apart from this, the film sure still is a great artistic achievement imho.
Regarding 'puppet' films of the 1980s, the two Gremlins are a lot more well-known in France (due to multiple re-runs on TV), than Return to Oz or Labyrinth.

- Labyrinth (film) - Wikipedia
Overall, all of them four are better than The Dark Crystal iirc.
Fyi, the (many) Muppets films are mostly unknown in France afaik.
@pyf sorry 'bout that...
I wouldn't say Labyrinth is better than Dark Crystal. They don't follow the same intrigue. And, honestly, Labyrinth is more of a musical.
