WTF? And they actually have real actors and actresses (more or less) doing the voices. That is exceptionally odd. Thanks? for pointing this one out to us?

Delgo's had a website and trailer for roughly 2 years...I'm shocked it's finally sort of getting off the ground. Not a clue what even happened to it to shelve it that long :s

HEY!, Who hates the Dark Crystal!!!?!? It has some amazing puppets and set work ever in a movie! Only movie to even come close is The Labyrinth

Seconded, Dark Crystal was boss. Brian Froud is a genius. Labyrinth, while smaller in scope, did have David Bowie.

This movie is going to be one of those ones where the tie-in action figures based on it will be at KB stores for the next five years,marked down to 75 percent off yet still remaining unbought.

Can you say direct to video ? ....I knew that you could.

Horse s...! Dark Crystal friggin' rules. I suppose The Care Bears Movie was more your speed. Cute and fuzzy animals for you to look at!

Dark Crystal was a great movie! What the hell are you smoking?

Actually, scratch that. You're probably not smoking anything. Smoking something would only enhance The Dark Crystal (not that I would know)

You're still nuts, though.

What I want to know is, if you're going to all the trouble of making a fully CG fantasy movie, why have characters that look pretty much like humans with funny looking faces. You could create fantastic creatures that are unlike anything else, but you're taking the low-budget/dudes in rubber masks route instead?

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with FrakAttack. It looks like this movie doesn't have the highest budget, either. I also think that the huge number of fairy wings we see in that trailer is going to be a major turn-off for adolescent males, who, I assume, are a large part of the target audience.

Direct-to-video seconded.

Pretty shitty animation. It looks like a video game cut scene from a decade ago.

This looks absolutely abysmal. And the Raiders of the Lost Ark rip-off at the end of the trailer just makes it even more suspect. How did they get all these big-name actors and actresses for this??

Um....big-name actors? Where did you see those? Freddy Prinze Jr. and (sic) Jennifer Love-Hewitt? When did either of them star in a good movie? I love Kilmer, but he's B-list at best. And Chris bloody Kattan? Did anyone ever think he was funny? And if you disagree with any of that, just keep this in mind: Kelly Ripa.

The Dark Crystal was Jim Henson's masterwork as a puppeteer. A truly fantastic sample of his work and just a taste of how much further he'd taken his craft than the likes of Punch and Judy. I'm sorry you couldn't handle it when you where younger and never got around to appreciating it as an adult.

i'm going to defend delgo only so far as its a miracle it exists in a way. it's a totally independent animated feature that was made outside of the hollywood system. it has been in production for well over 8 years, most of which was chronicled on the group's website well before blogging became the rage. the fact that it has ANY theatrical distribution for an independently produced film is something of a feat.

now is it any good of a film? that remains to be seen...at least for myself anyway.
