The Dark Crystal (Superbit) + The Dark Crystal (25th Anniversary Edition) - DVDs
When Jim Henson passed away in 1990, he left behind a diverse legion of fans and a company whose ultimate success, it now seems, hinged on his input. Jim Henson Productions and The Creature Shop are still thriving financially, but as the past few Muppet films (or that silly-looking computer-generated monkey from Lost In Space) demonstrate, the thrill and genius are gone. I'm positive that The Dark Crystal made today by Henson's successors would not provoke from an audience of kids five to fifty the same enchanted response the 1982 original does. Which is not to say there isn't room for improvement.

The Dark Crystal DVD
This is about as good as it gets for a DVD set covering an old movie. A commentary track with Jim and Frank would have been delicious, but obviously that couldn't happen. This will surely be the definitive Dark Crystal set and is such a great buy considering DVDs last forever. No fantasy collection should be without the Dark Crystal.
