    Dark Crystal 2 - Meet the Makers

    Wow; was that really necessary? Sorry if I've offended with my conjecture - I'm merely trying to justify (to myself maybe?) why it's taken so long. I feel like it's difficult to bring in a wide audience to a big budget sequel when the first was not exactly a blockbuster... all they while...

    Dark Crystal 2 - Meet the Makers

    "It's SOMETHING" should be a Dark Crystal 2 / Muppet Central institution by now ;) I'm with Prater, we've had our hopes built up and dashed for almost 8 years now. Until there's physical evidence, I'm not going to get excited. Every time it seems like they're "getting it together" I imagine a...

    James Camerons blue Gelflings

    Just an FYI, it wasn't Pocahontas, or Atlantis which itself was a rip-off of Nadia, secret of the blue water... Avatar = Ferngully the last rainforest. :D

    The Dark Crystal Series for the Cartoon Network

    Like I stated, that was the last thing I remembered seeing anywhere in reference to the cartoon series, and even on that blog it mentions that the project was cancelled. It never got made, and I highly doubt it ever will. I don't think any of Mann's designs were indicative of the show's...

    The Dark Crystal Series for the Cartoon Network

    The only design I really appreciated was the UrRu. I am a big fan of the 2D flat art design in films like Secret of Kells and Thief and the Cobbler, feel like that would have been a pretty interesting direction. From the blog: "The actual development went in a different direction that this...

    The Dark Crystal Series for the Cartoon Network

    Last thing I remember seeing that even referred to the CN show was a blog entry from Pixar artist Kelsey Mann: http://kmann.blogspot.com/2007/06/dark-crystal.html See also: http://kmann.blogspot.com/2006/03/dark-crystal-designs.html (edit) and...

    Pictures of Dark Crystal and Labyrinth Collectibles

    I saw those on eBay and cried when I read the price tag, but I'm glad you won them Laszlo. A few years back I took a press book off your hands (the one with the SkekUng hologram window) but had to part with it recently :cry: Cool collections guys. Once mine looks respectable again, I shall...

    Potdc & Imdb [2011]

    My 2p The last news we got was about a new director and new studio picking up the film. I think that is probably square one, and any preliminary work has mostly been conceptual. JHC has said nothing because until now, I doubt there has been anything to say. :sleep: I'd rather they take the...

    Dark Crystal sequel may be headed to DVD

    http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Theatrical-Release-Still-Intended-For-Dark-Crystal-Sequel-7415.html I wouldn't trust any credited news source until I see a press release, but it certainly looks like someone maybe jumped the gun. Seeing as this project has been in development for over 2...

    Your Thoughts: Dark Crystal and Labyrinth Anniversary DVD's

    Been a long time since I stopped by at the muppetcentral forums; I went out today specifically to purchase the 25th anniversary edition, and I can't help but agree with cabbageheat. I've seen the movie more times than I can count; it's been my favorite film for 20 years and while I won't go into...

    Comcast makes $54 billion hostile bid to buy Disney

    All I have to say is this: I'd like to see a change in direction, perhaps another visionary, to take control of Henson studios. I'd also like to see Disney rehire the 2D animation department they just fired, because some of those people had been working there since "The Black Couldron;" what...

    Dark Crystal Skeksis figures: Before the next ice age please

    I found some resin models... Take a look at these: Skeksis Mystic The paint job they did on the Skeksis is pretty good, but still, they look kinda, well, generic. They don't actually look like characters... :confused: Being a plushmaker, I'm considering making a semi-big Mystic...
