Not only actors can act with their mimicry and gestures. The world of fantasy is opened to more than green-screen special effects. It can be created by hours of work, costume design, and arts and crafts. And the result is one of a kind. You can call them puppets, but once you enter their realm, you will buy their unique faces and movements, and soon forget that they aren't real. You will befriend Jen, Kira, and Fizzgig and you will see Skeksis - one of the scariest and appalling antagonists ever created (maybe apart from Peter Jackson's Orks). A very special film, with amazing quality of design, characters, and story-telling, and a dark fable of a boy who is about to end the domination of evil. No wonder Netflix turned it into a series. 1982' The Dark Crystal.
